Information Security Awareness Training

Challenge
As a listed company, our client has put a lot of effort on training their employees to prevent security incidents such as information leakage and system hacking from happening. Therefore, our mission is to deliver practical and easy-to-understand training material to our client as to maximize the effectiveness of the Security Awareness Training. Also, to instill security awareness concept to a large group of the employees in different positions and with different levels of IT knowledge.

Solution
Divided the employees into three groups which require different IT security knowledge for performing their jobs.

Our security experts together with our technical specialists customized a set of security awareness training materials. Based on the IT knowledge and roles requirement of the employees, we divided the employees into three major groups for trainings:
  • IT Professionals
  includes IT staff such as system engineers and developers. This session mainly focuses on security in IT operation and development.
  • Non-IT Users
  involves normal end users such as back office user. This session mainly focuses on common cyber
  • Management
consists of management team such as top management and departmental head. This session mainly focuses on the IT strategy and security management.
 
Result
After the Security Awareness Training, the employees’ security awareness is enhanced and the occurrences of security incidents are significantly decreased. Raising security awareness of the employees helps company to ensure information security and build a sustainable environment with continuous improvement.

Deliverables:
 •    Information Security Management System design, setup, implementation and manual.
 •    Policies, procedures and guidelines relating to ISO27001 standard.
 •    Internal audit and vulnerabilities assessment.
 •    Technical recommendations for system and framework improvement.
 •    Practical experiences in facing ISO auditors during the qualification. 

Follow-up
Due to the fast changing environment on cyber security, Ringus proactively raises our clients’ security awareness, providing security advisory, consultation and notices for distribution within the organization in addressing new cyber threats.

Because many real incidents start physically:💫 A tailgater slipping into a restricted area and accessing sensitive systems.💫Unlocked desks leaving confidential documents visible to visitors or cleaners.💫Natural disasters such as typhoons and flooding disrupting servers, leading to downtime or hardware damage if environmental protections aren't in place.Physical security directly supports the core principles of information security—the CIA Triad (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of data and systems. Threats such as theft, tampering, or natural disasters can bypass digital protection entirely.In ISO 27001:2022, physical security is addressed through a dedicated theme under Annex A. Issues like expired fire extinguishers, missing CCTV footage, sticky notes with account passwords, or unlocked server room racks are common findings in an ISO 27001 audit. These are often fixed in a short time but can lead to non-conformities if ignored. Usual physical security practices are as follows:💫 Clear desks and screens (e.g. keep sensitive information in restricted areas)💫Physical entry and access control (e.g. door access restriction)💫Physical Monitoring (e.g. CCTV)💫etc.

Guidelines and regular architecture reviews ensure new code complies with best practices, preventing unmaintainable implementations from entering the system.2️⃣ Manages Complexity through ModularityModular architecture, such as microservices or well-structured layers, reduces tight coupling and isolates components. This simplifies maintenance, allows teams to work independently, and makes it easier to identify and fix areas of high technical debt before they snowball.3️⃣ Enables Scalability and FlexibilityProactive architectural design anticipates future growth and changing requirements. Systems can scale, adapt to new technologies, and incorporate new functionality without extensive rewrites, minimizing long-term debt and maximizing agility.4️⃣ Improves Maintainability and Reduces RiskClear structure and documentation provide visibility into system dependencies, helping developers understand the impact of changes. Combined with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing, architecture acts as a safety net, allowing incremental improvements while controlling debt accumulation.5️⃣ Aligns Technology with Business GoalsGood architecture ensures systems support business objectives efficiently, balancing speed with quality. It enables sustainable technical choices that maximize ROI while reducing the cost of misaligned or obsolete solutions.In essence: architecture is a strategic investment that turns technical debt from a hidden risk into a manageable, predictable factor—supporting sustainable growth, maintainable code, and long-term innovation.
