Client Overview

A professional services firm (client confidential) with offices in San Diego and Chicago approached CompuOne after experiencing repeated security incidents caused by employee error. With 150 employees handling sensitive client data daily, the firm recognized that traditional defenses firewalls, encryption, and anti-malware were not enough. They needed a partner who could help transform their employees with cybersecurity training into a proactive line of defense.

Client Priorities

Before engaging CompuOne, the firm was struggling with:

  • Employees clicking phishing links that led to multiple security incidents
  • Hesitation and delays in reporting suspicious activity due to fear of blame
  • Inconsistent awareness of security protocols across teams
  • Rising compliance obligations that required proof of cybersecurity training
  • Pressure from clients in finance and healthcare to demonstrate security awareness

The firm wanted a comprehensive cybersecurity training program that would not just meet compliance standards but build a culture of vigilance across their workforce.
