Microsoft 365 Security Awareness Training
A one-day awareness course for Microsoft 365 users. Participants work through fictional email, meeting, sign-in and sharing requests, using the organisation's approved procedures. Demonstrations are adapted to the tenant's available features and policies; no administrator access is required from attendees.
Who should attend: Employees and team leaders using Outlook, Teams, OneDrive or SharePoint. No prior cybersecurity qualification is required.
HRD Corp claim support available
Programme Focus
This is employee awareness for daily use. Microsoft 365 Productivity & Copilot teaches working skills, while the separate security assessment service reviews and hardens the tenant.

Programme Agenda
9:00 AM to 10:00 AM
Your Account and Your Organisation's Settings
Identify legitimate sign-in routes, approved devices and the support contact. Discuss how organisational settings and licences affect available protections, and which changes staff should request rather than make themselves.
10:00 AM to 10:15 AM
Break
10:15 AM to 11:30 AM
Suspicious Messages and Invitations
Review email, meeting and Teams examples requesting a login, file download or urgent action. Verify the sender and purpose through an established channel, and practise the approved reporting route.
11:30 AM to 12:30 PM
Sign-In Protection and Unexpected Prompts
Recognise requests for authentication codes and unexpected approval prompts. Follow approved MFA or passkey enrolment and recovery instructions, and escalate prompts that do not match an action the employee initiated.
12:30 PM to 1:30 PM
Lunch
1:30 PM to 2:45 PM
OneDrive and SharePoint Sharing
Review recipients, permissions and link settings in a demonstration workspace. Discuss external access, sensitive attachments and the owner of a shared file. Check that intended collaboration does not expose unrelated material.
2:45 PM to 3:00 PM
Break
3:00 PM to 4:00 PM
Teams, Devices and Reporting Mistakes
Work through guest meetings, downloaded files, lost devices and an accidentally shared document. Identify the immediate internal report and the information needed to help an authorised administrator respond.
4:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Practical Exercise: A Collaboration Request Goes Wrong
Review a fictional shared-document invitation and unusual sign-in prompt. Choose a safe verification path, identify the permission issue and draft a concise support report with no passwords or authentication codes.
