Training often feels like a rite of passage—a PowerPoint in a conference room, a yearly phishing test, “awareness” sessions to check the compliance box. Yet when your inbox dings with a demand letter, no one asks how many training modules you deployed. They’ll ask: “Can you prove your training matches the protections you claimed to have in place?” 

Most executives assume that once an employee is hired, they know the rules. They assume policies are read and understood. They assume common sense prevails. But assumptions don’t hold up in court. When a breach happens, you’ll be asked for proof. Proof that users were trained. Proof that they acknowledged the risks. Proof that they understood their responsibilities. If you can’t produce that evidence, it’s your neck on the line. 

In today’s threat landscape, where cybercrime losses exceed $10 billion annually, the situation has reached unprecedented urgency. If your organization isn’t already prioritizing evidence collection, you’re leaving the door wide open to financial ruin, reputational collapse, and legal disaster. 

Business continuity and disaster recovery are not just about safeguarding IT infrastructure; they’re about ensuring the resilience of the entire organization.
