  • Risks of third-party and shared devices
  • Keeping work talk on approved channels

Included Modules:

The Risks of Personal Device Use

Explains why texting work on personal phones creates security gaps and recordkeeping holes, and how to keep sensitive conversations on approved tools.

Using Third-Party Devices at Work

Covers the dangers of borrowed laptops, public computers, and shared devices, and the habits that keep company data off equipment you don’t control.

Staying Compliant in Your Communications

Shows how messaging apps and disappearing chats can break SEC and FINRA recordkeeping rules, and how to keep communications captured and compliant.

Why is cybersecurity awareness important?

When employees move work conversations onto personal texts, messaging apps, or other unapproved tools, those records slip outside the systems the company is required to capture and supervise. Regulators have handed out steep fines to firms that couldn’t produce these off-channel messages, and the missing records can sink an internal investigation or a legal defense when it matters most. This training helps your team recognize what counts as business communication, keep it on approved channels, and protect the company from recordkeeping failures and the penalties that follow.
