Overview
Most small-to-medium business employees are not data security experts, yet many are charged with strengthening their organization’s data security environment. To address this problem, SecurityMetrics offers an educational data security resource–SecurityMetrics Academy. Academy is a free program that prepares employees to take on data security challenges at their organization by educating them in the areas of PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, as well as in general data security basics and best practices.
With videos, quizzes, and external resources on topics like security policies and encryption, Academy is aimed at educating SMBs like franchisees, small merchants, and healthcare practices. The new course instructs on ways to address specific cybersecurity risks businesses may face.
