What is CyberSafe?
There is nothing more important that you can do for your education institution than equip your people with the knowledge and skills to be cyber safe. But annual training course and the odd newsletter article aren’t enough. Cyber security cannot be a one-off conversation.
That's why we've created CyberSafe, our communications and behaviour change programme, containing everything your staff and students need to know to keep themselves and your institution safe from cyber attacks.
Using our expertly crafted modules, we support your organisation to increase awareness around cyber crime, build engagement with this important topic and encourage lasting behaviour change which keeps your staff, students and education institution CyberSafe.

How it works
CyberSafe follows proven change management and behaviour change methodologies from the internal communications sector.

Getting your staff and students on board and engaged with cyber safety is key to keeping your cyber security high, and your cyber security infrastructure investments worthwhile.
Creating Awareness and Desire through communications.
Develop Knowledge and Ability through interactive learning.
Reinforcement through embedding in the fabric of the organisation.
Our expertise
We’re passionate Internal Communicators and Employee Engagement experts. We’ve built our careers working for large, complex organisations and specialising in digital transformation and major IT change. We’ve supported leaders to implement digital strategies, embark on multi-year transformation programmes and implemented numerous collaboration, HR, Finance and Learning systems and platforms.
We launched Inside Out in 2020 to support organisations going through digital transformation with clear and consistent communications. Supporting our clients in the Higher Education sector over the last few years, we realised the lack of understanding around how to effectively communicate cyber security in layman's terms with people outside the cyber sector, which is why we've created CyberSafe.
Our background gives us invaluable experience in creating and distributing effective, engaging, and easy-to-understand messages, that reach the right people at the right time.
