Ongoing cyber protection, handled for you.
Cyber Shield is a simple monthly subscription that keeps your team cyber-aware all year round. Most SMEs start with Cyber Essentials and awareness training, then switch Cyber Shield on for ongoing protection — short monthly lessons, quizzes and certificates, with no IT effort required.

FAQ
Straight answers about Cyber Shield.
What is Cyber Shield?
+
Cyber Shield is a monthly cyber security awareness training subscription built for SMEs across the UK, BVI and USA. Every month, each member of your team receives one short, jargon-free lesson — 5 to 10 minutes long — covering a current real-world threat such as phishing or social engineering, followed by an interactive quiz with a 70% pass mark and unlimited retakes. It's designed as the ongoing layer of protection that follows one-off training or Cyber Essentials certification, keeping staff alert to evolving threats all year round rather than trained once and forgotten.
How does the ongoing monthly training work?
+
Once subscribed, your team gets automatic access to a new lesson every month, delivered through a simple online dashboard. Each lesson takes 5–10 minutes and is followed by a randomised quiz; learners need 70% to pass but can retake it as many times as needed until they do. Managers can track completion across the whole team from a single dashboard, see who still needs to finish, and new starters are enrolled automatically so nobody slips through the cracks. Verifiable certificates are issued monthly and annually as proof of ongoing training.
Why should my business subscribe to Cyber Shield?
+
Most cyber breaches at SMEs are caused by human error — a clicked phishing link, a reused password, or a moment of pressure — not a failure of technical defences. A single training session rarely changes behaviour long-term because people forget. Cyber Shield keeps cyber awareness front of mind with fresh, bite-sized lessons every month, so good habits stick. It's affordable, requires no IT effort to run, and gives you audit-ready evidence of ongoing staff training for insurers, clients or regulators who ask for it.
How is Cyber Shield priced, and is there a free trial?
+
Cyber Shield starts with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required, so you can test it with your team before paying anything. After the trial, Individual accounts cost £1.99 per user per month, Team plans for up to 30 users cost £0.99 per user per month with volume discounts built in, and larger organisations can arrange custom Enterprise pricing. Prices exclude VAT and billing is available in GBP or USD, paid monthly by card or PayPal with no long-term contract.
How long does each lesson and quiz take to complete?
+
Each monthly lesson is deliberately short — 5 to 10 minutes — so staff can complete it during a normal working day without disrupting productivity. It's followed by a brief, randomised quiz that reinforces the key points, requiring a 70% pass mark with unlimited retakes if someone doesn't pass first time. Across a full year, that adds up to roughly an hour or two of training per employee, spread evenly rather than delivered as one long, easily-forgotten session.
Is Cyber Shield suitable for small teams and SMEs?
+
Yes — it's built specifically for SMEs and non-technical staff, not enterprise IT departments. Individual pricing suits sole traders and freelancers, while Team pricing scales affordably for businesses of up to 30 people, with automated new-starter enrolment so you don't need to manually manage access as your team grows. There's no minimum contract, no IT infrastructure to install, and no specialist knowledge required to run it — it's designed to be managed by a business owner or office manager, not a dedicated security team.
What are the main benefits of Cyber Shield over one-off training?
+
One-off cyber awareness sessions give a short-term boost that fades within weeks. Cyber Shield's benefit is repetition: fresh monthly lessons on current threats keep phishing and social engineering awareness active year-round, backed by quizzes that confirm understanding rather than just attendance. You also get ongoing, dated certificates and dashboard reporting that demonstrate continuous compliance to insurers or clients, automated enrolment for new starters, and UK support — all for a low monthly cost per user rather than a one-time training fee that quickly becomes outdated.
How does Cyber Shield compare with free online training or a generic LMS?
+
Free online cyber security courses are often generic, lengthy, and not updated to reflect current threats, while a general-purpose LMS gives you no cyber-specific content at all — you'd have to source, write and update it yourself. Cyber Shield does both jobs: it's a purpose-built platform with fresh, professionally written monthly lessons on real-world threats, automatic quizzing, progress tracking and certificates included as standard, for a fraction of the time and cost of building or licensing an LMS and writing your own curriculum.
Can I cancel my Cyber Shield subscription at any time?
+
Yes. Cyber Shield is a rolling monthly subscription with no fixed term or exit fees. You can cancel online directly from your account whenever you choose, and your subscription simply won't renew the following month — there's no phone call or written notice required. This matches our straightforward approach to pricing: no lock-in contracts, no penalties, and no pressure to stay beyond the point where the training is delivering value for your team.
What support do I get with a Cyber Shield subscription?
+
Every subscription includes UK-based support for account setup, billing questions and general use of the dashboard. Because the platform is self-service, most subscribers manage day-to-day tasks — adding users, checking progress, downloading certificates — without needing to contact anyone, but support is available by email during UK business hours if something isn't working as expected or you need help onboarding a larger team.
Before you buy
Costs, risks and misconceptions.
What to budget for beyond the per-user price, what happens if you train nobody, and the assumptions that most often turn out to be wrong.
What are the hidden costs of awareness training, beyond the per-user price?
+
With Cyber Shield there is no setup fee, no platform licence and no minimum term, so the per-user price is the whole cost. The costs people forget are internal: staff time (5–10 minutes per person per month), and the admin of chasing completions. Cyber Shield removes the second one by handling enrolment, reminders and certificates automatically, so nobody in your business needs to run the programme.
What is the risk of not training staff at all?
+
Untrained staff are the most commonly exploited route into an SME. Phishing, invoice fraud and credential theft all rely on a person acting on a convincing message, and no firewall or antivirus product intercepts a legitimate-looking email that a member of staff chooses to trust. The practical consequences are lost funds through payment redirection, business email compromise, and ransomware entering through stolen credentials. Insurers and tender processes increasingly ask for evidence of training, so having none can also cost you cover or contracts.
Is it true that only large companies get targeted by phishing?
+
No. Most phishing is untargeted and automated: attackers send the same message to thousands of addresses and act on whoever responds. Smaller organisations are attractive precisely because they usually have fewer controls and no security team, and they are also used as a stepping stone into larger clients through the supply chain. Company size affects the scale of the loss, not the likelihood of being contacted.
Won't awareness training just annoy staff or make them feel blamed?
+
That depends entirely on how it is delivered. Cyber Shield is built as short monthly lessons with unlimited quiz retakes rather than a pass-or-fail test, so nobody is publicly ranked or penalised. The framing is practical — how to spot a fake invoice, what a real Microsoft login page looks like — and most of it is directly useful to staff in their personal lives as well. Teams generally engage well when sessions are five minutes rather than a half-day course.
Who administers the training, and what do we have to do ourselves?
+
We set up your organisation, import your user list and configure the reminder schedule. After that the platform runs itself: lessons release monthly, reminders chase non-completers automatically, and certificates are issued without anyone requesting them. Your only ongoing task is telling us about joiners and leavers, which a business owner or office manager can do in a couple of minutes. There is no requirement for internal IT involvement.
Will the reporting satisfy an insurer, auditor or client questionnaire?
+
Yes, in most cases. The dashboard records who completed which lesson and when, and issues dated monthly and annual certificates per learner. That is the evidence type insurers and client security questionnaires normally ask for: proof of regular, ongoing training rather than a single historic session. If a specific questionnaire asks for something the dashboard does not produce, tell us what is needed and we will help you provide it.
