Canadian Technology AssociationFree for Canadian BusinessesSecurity Training That Checks The Box
Your cyber insurance and compliance requirements demand employee security training.
Get Canadian-focused training your team will actually complete—free.
No credit card required. Free Community membership includes full training access.
You Need Training. Here's Why.
Cyber Insurance
Insurers require proof of security awareness training. No training = higher premiums or denied coverage.
PIPEDA Compliance
Canadian privacy law requires "reasonable security measures"—employee training is a baseline expectation.
Client Questionnaires
"Do your employees complete security training?" It's on every vendor security questionnaire.
91% of cyberattacks start with phishing
Training is the most effective way to reduce your risk.

Common Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The Community tier includes full access to security training at no cost. We offer it free because trained employees make better TSSAC members if you decide to upgrade later. No obligation.
Will this satisfy my cyber insurance requirements?
Our training covers standard security awareness topics that insurers look for. Upon completion, you receive a verifiable Open Badge and can export completion records. Most insurers accept this as proof of training. Check with your insurer for specific requirements.
How long does the training take?
About 2 hours total, split across 8 modules. Employees can complete it at their own pace—start, stop, and resume anytime. Most people finish within a week doing 15-20 minutes per day.
Can I train my whole team?
With the free Community tier, each person creates their own account. For team-wide training with centralized tracking, compliance reports, and phishing simulations, upgrade to a paid membership tier.
What makes this Canadian-focused?
We cover PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25, use Canadian breach examples (LCBO, Alberta Dental, Toronto Public Library), discuss CRA scams, and reference Canadian statistics. No US-centric content that doesn't apply to you.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Training is entirely web-based. Works on any device with a browser—desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone.
