The organization wants to be in compliance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and IT security best practices regarding its employees.

The organization wants to monitor and control use of the Internet by implementing content filtering.

The organization wants to eliminate personal use of organization-owned IT assets and systems.

  1. There are many vendors that provide security awareness training software to organizations that do not have the time nor the resources to create their own. When selecting a software vendor, many organizations will issue a Request for Information (RFI) to potential vendors, outlining the details of what the organization would like to learn about the vendor’s solution.
