Human Risk Management (HRM) powered by usecure

Make your people the strongest link in your cybersecurity strategy.

Protect Your Business by Managing the Human Side of Cybersecurity

Technology alone cannot stop every cyber threat. In fact, the majority of successful attacks happen because of human error — whether it’s clicking on a phishing link, using a weak password, or overlooking a key security policy.

SevenC’s usecure Human Risk Management turns your employees into your strongest defence. This all-in-one platform identifies where each user is most vulnerable, delivers targeted training to close those gaps, tests their awareness with realistic phishing simulations, monitors for compromised credentials on the dark web, and ensures key security policies are read and acknowledged.

The result is a workforce that is more aware, more accountable, and far less likely to cause a costly security incident. And because usecure is automated, your business benefits from continuous, measurable improvements in security culture without adding to your admin workload.

Whether you need to meet ISO 27001, POPIA, GDPR, or FSCA/SARB compliance requirements, or you simply want to reduce the risk of human-related breaches, SevenC’s usecure solution gives you the tools and insights to protect your business from the inside out.

Why Human Risk Management Matters

Cybercriminals don’t just exploit software vulnerabilities, they exploit human ones. In fact:

of successful data breaches involve human error.

of successful data breaches involve phishing.

Compliance frameworks like ISO 27001 and POPIA require documented and continuous security training for staff. That’s why Human Risk Management is essential to your cybersecurity posture. With SevenC’s usecure platform and training, we help you protect your business by turning your employees into informed, security-conscious assets and not liabilities.

What Is Human Risk Management (HRM)?

Human Risk Management (HRM) is the practice of identifying, addressing, and reducing employee-related cybersecurity risks. It includes security awareness training, phishing simulations, policy management, dark web monitoring, and continuous risk assessment.

Assess Individual Risk Levels

Quickly identify which employees are most likely to cause a security breach, so you can focus your efforts where they will have the greatest impact.

Track Progress and Demonstrate Compliance

Monitor improvements over time with detailed reports that provide clear evidence for audits, client reviews, and regulatory requirements.

Train Staff Based on Their Vulnerabilities

Deliver targeted, relevant training that addresses each employee’s unique weaknesses, ensuring learning is effective and time is well spent.

Prevent Incidents Caused by Human Error

Reduce the likelihood of costly breaches by addressing risky behaviours before attackers can exploit them.

Key Features That Drive Business Value -Make employees your first line of defence

1. Automated Security Awareness Training

Turn cybersecurity training into a measurable, time-saving solution with SevenC’s usecure.

Not every employee poses the same level of risk, which is why traditional, one-size-fits-all training often falls short. With SevenC’s Usecure platform, your team receives security awareness training that is automatically tailored to each individual’s specific vulnerabilities. These training modules are delivered via email in short, easy-to-understand lessons that are based on real user behaviour and knowledge gaps.

This targeted, bite-sized approach ensures that training is both effective and non-disruptive to productivity. At the same time, it helps your business align with key compliance requirements such as ISO 27001, GDPR, POPIA, and the FSCA/SARB Joint Standard. Every training session is tracked and logged, making audit preparation simple and transparent. With Usecure, your staff become more security-aware, while your business benefits from lower risk exposure and increased compliance readiness.

3. Dark Web Monitoring

Identify compromised employee credentials before cybercriminals can exploit them.

Cybercriminals often buy and sell stolen credentials on the dark web long before they are used in an attack. SevenC’s usecure platform includes continuous dark web monitoring that scans for compromised email addresses and passwords associated with your organisation. When any user credentials are found, you receive immediate alerts, giving your IT or security team the chance to take swift action.

This monitoring helps prevent account takeovers, credential stuffing attacks, and data breaches. It also promotes better password practices across your team by encouraging secure, unique logins. Dark web monitoring supports compliance with international standards and privacy laws, including ISO 27001 and GDPR. By staying ahead of external threats, your business not only reduces cyber risk but also demonstrates a mature and proactive security posture to stakeholders, partners, and clients.

2. Phishing Simulations

Reduce real-world cyber risk by training your staff to recognise and report phishing attempts.

Phishing is one of the most common methods used by attackers to breach business systems. With SevenC’s usecure phishing simulations, you can send realistic phishing campaigns to your employees to safely test their responses. These simulations use current attack templates and techniques to mimic real threats, allowing you to uncover which employees may be vulnerable to social engineering tactics.

When someone interacts with a simulated attack, Usecure immediately delivers focused training to help them understand what they missed and how to avoid similar threats in the future. Over time, this builds a culture of security awareness across your organisation. You can track detailed metrics such as click rates and user risk scores, helping you identify trends and demonstrate risk reduction. By equipping your team to spot threats early, you reduce the chances of a successful attack and strengthen your business’s human firewall.

4. Policy Management

Ensure employees read, understand, and acknowledge your cybersecurity policies.

A well-written policy is only effective if your employees know it exists and accept it as part of their responsibility. With SevenC’s usecure policy management tool, you can distribute, track, and manage policy acknowledgements in one central platform. You can use professionally written templates or upload your own documents, then assign them to individuals or teams as required.

Employees are prompted to read and sign off on the policy using an electronic signature, and all acknowledgements are automatically recorded for easy reporting. This eliminates the manual work of following up and ensures full visibility into who has completed the process. Policy management helps you demonstrate due diligence, meet internal and external compliance requirements, and reduce your organisation’s exposure to human error or negligence. It is a simple but powerful way to enforce accountability and embed security best practices across your team.
