The training is primarily aimed at SMEs, charities and the voluntary sector but can be applied to any organisation, regardless of size or sector. It is designed for an audience who may have little or no knowledge of cyber security, with tips that complement any existing policies and procedures.

As well as some smaller updates to the content, we have ensured that 'Top Tips for Staff' (English) meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (Level AA), so that the package is more accessible for its users.
