About the course
A rushed instruction can bypass the check your team most needs. Practise leadership decisions and responses to reporting before a real crisis unfolds.
Risks we practise
- A secret payment request in a leader’s name.
- Voice impersonation using publicly available information.
- A supplier asking for excessive access.
- False promises of compliance or guaranteed recovery.
Who it is for
Company administrators, directors and mayors making decisions about payments, access, continuity and communication.
Participation requirements and recommendations
No IT background is needed. Join online sessions and work through situations drawn from everyday working life.
Objectives
Practise approvals without improvised exceptions, evaluate supplier relationships and make continuity decisions using confirmed facts. Connect training, resources and reporting to observable actions.
Skills and intended outcomes
Leave with an action plan and reasoned decisions, including what to verify before promising that services will be restored.
Sessions and topics
4 sessions × 90 minutes · 6 hours · The final assessment takes place separately from the live sessions.
-
Session 1
- Executive impersonation fraud — Recognise urgent or confidential payment requests made in a leader’s name. Keep the checks and approvals in place, even when the request appears to come from the top.
- Why leaders are targeted — Recognise requests that exploit a leader’s public profile and authority. Make decisions that do not rely solely on a familiar voice or convincing background information.
-
Session 2
- Leadership accountability — Recognise false compliance promises that demand money or documents before verification. Connect cyber risk to leadership decisions and the requirements that apply to your organisation.
- Decision-making during an incident — Recognise pressure to promise recovery or pay before the facts are clear. Set priorities and communicate using confirmed information.
-
Session 3
- Suppliers as a route for fraud — Recognise access and integration requests that exploit trust in a supplier. Confirm the relationship, purpose and limits before approving.
-
Session 4
- A security culture led from the top — See how urgency and reactions to mistakes can weaken a team’s checks. Practise leadership responses that support prompt reporting and consistent controls.
