Your Cyber Security Training Partner Across Australia
TechAssist has trained thousands of Australian employees across trades, construction, manufacturing, and logistics. We understand the unique challenges of training workforces that operate on job sites, factory floors, and behind the wheel — not just in offices.
Our training programs are built on real Australian threat intelligence. We use actual phishing campaigns targeting Australian businesses, real-world case studies from the ACSC, and scenarios relevant to your industry. Every module is designed to be completed in under 15 minutes so your team stays productive.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all training. A sparkie on a construction site faces different cyber risks than a logistics coordinator managing freight schedules. TechAssist tailors every program to your industry, your tools, and your team's technical literacy.
Our reporting gives you complete visibility. Track completion rates, phishing simulation results, and improvement trends over time. Use our reports for compliance evidence, insurance applications, and board reporting.
Whether you have 10 employees or 500, TechAssist scales training to fit. Our platform works on mobile, tablet, and desktop so your team can complete modules on-site, in the cab, or at the warehouse.
Phishing Simulation Campaigns
Training for teams that work on phones and tablets in the field. Covers secure Wi-Fi usage, app permissions, device loss procedures, and recognising mobile-specific threats like smishing and malicious QR codes.
Incident Response Training
Targeted sessions for business owners and managers covering cyber risk governance, insurance requirements, regulatory obligations, and how to lead a security-aware culture from the top down.
Threat Landscape Briefings
Every new employee completes cyber security training before they get network access. Our onboarding modules cover your acceptable use policy, password requirements, incident reporting procedures, and key threats to watch for.
Ongoing Micro-Learning
Short, regular training modules delivered monthly to keep security top of mind. Each module takes under 10 minutes and covers a single topic — perfect for busy tradespeople, drivers, and warehouse staff who can't sit through hour-long sessions.
Custom Scenario Development
We assess your current security awareness maturity across all staff levels. This includes surveying existing knowledge, reviewing past incidents, analysing your industry's threat profile, and identifying the highest-risk behaviours in your workforce.
Baseline Phishing Test
Before any training begins, we run a baseline phishing simulation to measure your team's current vulnerability. This gives us hard data on click rates, credential submission rates, and reporting rates — so we can prove improvement over time.
Role-Based Risk Assessment
Different roles face different risks. We map cyber threats to specific job functions in your business — accounts payable staff face invoice fraud, site managers face impersonation, and drivers face mobile threats. Training is prioritised accordingly.
We identify the gaps between your current awareness level and where you need to be for compliance and insurance purposes. Our recommendations are prioritised by risk and come with realistic timeframes and budget estimates.
Not every employee needs the same training depth. We prioritise high-risk roles and high-risk behaviours first, then build a rolling program that lifts the entire organisation's awareness over 3, 6, and 12-month periods.
Training Roadmap
A phased training plan with monthly topics, quarterly phishing simulations, annual compliance refreshers, and measurable milestones. Your roadmap includes KPIs so you can track progress and demonstrate improvement to insurers and auditors.
Benefits of Cyber Security Training
Reduced Breach Risk
Human error causes over 90% of cyber breaches. Regular training and phishing simulations reduce click rates by an average of 75% within 12 months — turning your biggest vulnerability into your strongest defence.
Insurance Compliance
Cyber insurance providers increasingly require evidence of employee training and phishing simulations. TechAssist's reporting provides the documentation insurers want to see when assessing your policy.
Regulatory Compliance
Meet your obligations under the Privacy Act, Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, and industry-specific regulations. Our training programs include completion tracking and compliance certificates for audit evidence.
Measurable ROI
Track phishing click rates, incident reporting rates, and training completion across your organisation. Our quarterly reports show concrete improvement trends that justify your training investment to stakeholders.

Simulated Attack Library
Over 200 phishing templates including invoice fraud, delivery notifications, bank alerts, ATO scams, and Microsoft 365 credential harvesting — all customised with Australian branding and local context.
Executive Reporting Dashboard
Real-time visibility into your organisation's security awareness metrics. Track trends over time, benchmark against industry averages, and generate reports for board meetings, insurance applications, and compliance audits.
LMS Integration
Our training platform integrates with your existing systems or runs standalone. Mobile-friendly modules work on any device so field staff, drivers, and warehouse workers can train without a desktop computer.
Interactive Training Modules
Engaging, scenario-based training that goes beyond boring slideshows. Real-world case studies, interactive quizzes, and Australian-specific examples keep your team engaged and learning.

Compliance Tracking
Automated tracking of training completion, assessment scores, and certification expiry. Generate compliance reports instantly for auditors, insurers, and management with one click.
Customised Content
Training content tailored to your industry, your tools, and your specific risks. We reference the software your team actually uses, the threats your industry actually faces, and the procedures your business actually follows.
Gamification & Engagement
Leaderboards, achievement badges, and team competitions that make security training engaging rather than a chore. Reward employees who report phishing attempts and complete training ahead of schedule.
Multi-Language Support
Training available in multiple languages for diverse workforces common in Australian construction, manufacturing, and logistics. Ensure every team member understands the training regardless of their first language.
Automated Campaigns
Set-and-forget phishing simulation campaigns that run monthly without manual intervention. Campaigns automatically escalate difficulty based on individual performance, keeping training challenging and relevant.
Incident Response Drills
Tabletop exercises and simulated incidents that test your team's response procedures. Practice makes perfect — when a real incident hits, your team knows exactly what to do because they've rehearsed it.
Dark Web Monitoring Alerts
We monitor the dark web for your company's compromised credentials and alert affected employees immediately. When a staff member's password appears in a breach, they get retrained and their credentials are reset.
USB & Physical Security Training
Training on physical security threats — USB drops, tailgating, dumpster diving, and shoulder surfing. Particularly relevant for construction sites, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities with public-facing areas.
ACSC Guidelines Alignment
All training content aligns with Australian Cyber Security Centre guidelines, the Essential Eight framework, and the Australian Privacy Principles. We update content quarterly to reflect the latest ACSC advisories and threat intelligence.
Evidence & Audit Packs
Complete evidence packages for compliance audits and insurance applications. Training completion records, phishing simulation results, improvement trends, and policy acknowledgements — all documented and ready for review.

Training isn't a one-off event. Our continuous improvement program adjusts content based on phishing simulation results, emerging threats, and your team's performance data. Training gets harder as your team gets better.
