What it covers

Topics inside this course

Awareness and induction depth — not an accredited occupational qualification.

  • Approved supplier versus a new inbox
  • Don’t email a customer dump to personal accounts
  • Shadow SaaS is still a vendor
  • Access: least privilege and offboarding
  • Supplier incidents are our incidents too
Who it is for

Built for the people who take the training

Anyone who sends files to suppliers, onboards a tool, or brings in a consultant — hiring managers included.

What learners leave able to do

  • Use approved suppliers and official channels before sharing data
  • Treat shadow SaaS as a vendor decision, not a personal productivity hack
  • Apply least privilege and offboarding when a project ends
  • Report a supplier incident the same day
Course outline

Modules you can expect

Structure may tighten when you localise from your own source pack in Kre8AI — this is the shape of the library title.

  1. 1
    They are processing our data

    Operators and processors in plain language.

  2. 2
    Approved first

    Procurement exists.

  3. 3
    What you may send

    Classification and minimisation.

  4. 4

  5. 5
    If they are breached

    Report like it was us.

    Scored assessment.

Scored assessment for staff and hiring managers. Not a third-party risk questionnaire course for the vendor-risk function.

About this course

Written for the workplace, not for the statute book alone

Vendor security programmes often live in procurement while staff still send a full customer spreadsheet to a new designer. This course is the staff layer: approved supplier, official channel, minimum data, offboard access, report their incident as ours.

Shadow SaaS is named because that is how personal information leaves the organisation without a contract. Managers who “just need a tool this week” are in scope. POPIA operator language is translated as “we remain responsible”.

It will not teach anyone to complete a 200-question vendor pack. That stays with the risk function. Pair with information classification so people know what they are sending.

Generate from NCSC supply-chain guidance, POPIA operator extracts, and your vendor policy in Kre8AI. Publish as SCORM or HTML. Keep live vendor scores out of the library demo.

Re-export when the approved-tool list or data-sharing path changes. Assign to anyone who can attach a file to an external email.

Play the library demo, or generate vendor-security awareness from your data-sharing policy in Kre8AI.
