Cyber Rebels

How secure is your team when work is moving?

A member of staff is moving through a routine part of the day when something appears that matches the task in front of them. The name is known, the wording feels right, and the request fits with what is already happening.

Responding to it seems like the sensible way to keep the work moving, so the decision gets made.

Not because anyone is being careless, and not because somebody has ignored obvious warning signs. It happens because, in that moment, nothing feels unusual enough to interrupt the flow of work. It feels like handling the job properly.

That is where this Risk Check begins.

In most organisations, cyber exposure does not usually begin with dramatic incidents or clearly suspicious behaviour. It forms inside ordinary decisions that feel reasonable at the time, then repeat quietly across emails, systems, messages, shared access, approvals and everyday communication.

This tool helps you look at where those moments may already be appearing in your own environment.

What to expect

There are 12 short questions, built around situations that show up naturally in day-to-day work. It takes around two minutes to complete.

There is no technical jargon, no scoring designed to catch people out, and no pressure to present your organisation in the best possible light.

The purpose is to help you look at what work actually feels like when people are busy, familiar routines are in motion, and decisions need to be made without stopping everything to analyse them.

As you move through the questions, the aim is not to search for perfect answers. The useful part is noticing what feels recognisable.

Where a question sounds familiar, there is usually a reason. It may point to a gap that is not obvious on paper, but shows up in practice when someone acts because the task makes sense, the request seems normal, or pausing feels less reasonable than continuing.

What this is really exploring

Most organisations do not face cyber risk simply because people lack awareness. The deeper issue is that risk appears inside normal work, where judgement is being used in real time.

A message arrives that looks legitimate. A request lines up with an existing task. Access is shared to keep something moving. A decision is made because it feels proportionate, helpful and consistent with the situation in front of the person making it.

That is what this Risk Check is really exploring.

It is not asking whether your team has heard the right advice before. It is asking whether everyday conditions inside your organisation make it easy for small, reasonable decisions to create exposure over time.

When those moments go unexamined, they do not stay isolated. They repeat across people, teams, platforms and routines.

Once those patterns become visible, it becomes much easier to decide what needs checking next.

1. When a message looks genuine and fits the task someone is already doing, would people still know what a good check looks like?(Required)
2. If someone is unsure about an email, link, message or request, is there a clear route they would actually use before acting?(Required)
3. Do new starters learn how cyber decisions show up inside their actual role, not just what the policy says?(Required)
4. Would people feel able to report a possible mistake early, without worrying that they will be blamed for it?(Required)
5. When someone needs access to a system, folder or account, is there a clear check on whether they should have it and when it should be removed?(Required)
6. When MFA creates friction, blocks access or slows someone down, do people know what to do without bypassing the process?(Required)
7. If a device, system or account behaves unexpectedly, would people report it rather than quietly working around it?(Required)
8. Do people understand what sensitive or personal data looks like inside their day-to-day tasks?(Required)
9. Are cyber risks discussed through real working examples, not only written down in policies or procedures?(Required)
10. When work is busy, urgent or customer-facing, would people still know when to pause and verify before acting?(Required)
11. When payment details, invoices, refunds or supplier instructions change, do people verify through a trusted route before acting?(Required)
12. If a request appears to come from someone senior, a manager, a client or a trusted supplier, would people still feel able to pause and verify before acting?(Required)
