Cyber Security Awareness (CSA)

What Cyber Security Awareness (CSA) does

Cyber Security Awareness (CSA) is a UK-based managed cybersecurity awareness provider operating as a trading brand of Infosec Cloud Ltd., a private limited company registered in England and Wales (company number 06035236) and headquartered at Shoreham-by-Sea. Established in 2016 with a 7-person team, CSA targets human risk inside organisations on the premise that most modern cyber attacks and data breaches originate with employees rather than purely technical vulnerabilities. Its core managed offering, the Security Awareness Training and Testing (SATT) service, combines phishing simulation with bespoke training content created in-house, and is sold on 36-month subscription contracts with monthly Direct Debit billing (12-month terms payable upfront are also offered) and annual CPI+3.9% price escalators.

The product portfolio extends SATT with complementary managed modules: GDPR Awareness Training, Phish999 (an AI-driven email phishing protection tool integrating with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace), CyberSIGHT dark web monitoring, V-Scan monthly vulnerability scanning, V-PenTest automated penetration testing, Managed Policy Acknowledgement (MPAS), and a QR Code Phishing simulation service. Cloud-based delivery is hosted in UK-based Tier 3 data centres, and CSA maintains ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and IASME GDPR certifications, which function as buyer-facing trust signals.

CSA sells exclusively through direct sales (website enquiry forms and a UK-based sales team) with no reseller or marketplace presence, targeting organisations across financial services, construction, public sector, housing associations, legal, and manufacturing verticals, alongside a horizontal "organisations of all sizes" segment. The company claims global reach supported by multi-language training, though its disclosed operating geography is the UK. No revenue, funding, M&A, or leadership data is disclosed in the available material.
