About the course
Explain your decision to another person. Review evidence in stages, choose what to verify and change your decision when new information arrives.
Risks we practise
- A polished message asking for a risky action.
- A familiar voice on an unverified call.
- A genuine invoice carrying false payment instructions.
- Assumptions mistaken for facts during an incident.
Who it is for
Teams ready to apply their knowledge to messages, calls, payments and a simulated incident.
Participation requirements and recommendations
No IT background is needed. Join online sessions and work through situations drawn from everyday working life.
Objectives
Assess messages, role-play caller and recipient, verify a payment and build a timeline of the first minutes. Debriefs focus on the evidence that changed a decision, rather than the speed of the answer.
Skills and intended outcomes
See where checks break down and decide what the team should practise again in everyday work.
Sessions and topics
2 sessions × 90 minutes · 3 hours · The final assessment takes place separately from the live sessions.
-
Session 1
- Phishing: a live practice workshop — Assess messages and explain your decision using evidence rather than appearance. Practise continuing the work after checking an unusual request.
- The false caller: a role-play workshop — Practise handling a call where a familiar voice and urgency stand in for confirmation. Choose how to pause a risky action and reconnect through a trusted contact.
-
Session 2
- Invoices and payments: a practical workshop — Work through a credible payment request and identify the missing evidence. Explain when payment can proceed and when it needs to pause for verification.
- The first 15 minutes: an incident workshop — Receive information in stages and choose the first actions in a simulated incident. Build a timeline that distinguishes observations from assumptions.
Practical activities, scenarios and exercises
Assess workplace messages and requests, compare evidence and explain what you would do before continuing. Scenarios are fictional and do not require your organisation’s real information.
