Modules

Module 1: Why Remote Work Security Matters for SMBs

This module explains why remote and hybrid work expands the attack surface for SMBs and increases the need for structured employee security training. It ties remote-work behavior directly to operational continuity, compliance, customer trust, and risk management.

Module 2: Safe Wi-Fi Use at Home, in Public, and While Traveling

This module teaches employees how to evaluate network safety before connecting to company systems or handling sensitive information. It focuses on practical behaviors for home Wi-Fi, public hotspots, hotel networks, mobile tethering, and travel scenarios.

Module 3: Device Security and Management Basics

This module focuses on securing endpoints, including laptops, phones, tablets, and company-managed devices. It teaches learners how to reduce risk through updates, approved software, secure storage, and careful handling of work hardware.

Module 4: VPN Usage and Secure Remote Access

This module teaches employees when and how to use VPNs and other approved remote-access tools correctly. It frames VPN use as part of the company’s formal control environment rather than an optional technical feature.

Module 5: Physical Security for Remote and Hybrid Work

This module covers the physical side of remote security, including locking unattended screens, protecting devices during travel, avoiding visual exposure of sensitive information, and securing hardware in shared environments. It emphasizes that a strong security posture still depends on simple physical habits.

Module 6: Working Safely with Company Data Outside the Office

This module connects remote-work practices to the handling of customer, employee, and business data outside office-controlled environments. It focuses on avoiding insecure downloads, local file sprawl, unauthorized printing, and unsafe sharing habits.

Module 7: Reporting Lost, Stolen, or Compromised Devices Immediately

This module teaches the exact reporting behaviors employees must follow when a device is lost, stolen, left unattended, or suspected of compromise. It emphasizes speed, accuracy, and escalation, because delayed reporting can worsen impact and weaken the organization’s response.

Module 8: Final Review, Compliance Commitments, and Annual Certification

This final module reinforces the most important remote-work security practices and ties them to annual compliance documentation. It supports completion tracking in the LMS and provides a repeatable training record.
