The Employee Cybersecurity Test verifies that your candidates have the basic cyber safety knowledge to protect your business.
This cybersecurity online test measures real-world knowledge and is designed for normal office staff, not IT workers.
Candidates face the situations any employee runs into: a strange email, a login prompt, a USB drive on a desk, a request that feels slightly off.
Every completed test delivers a full score report the moment your candidate finishes.
Human error plays a role in most security incidents. Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report found that 60% of breaches involved a human element, from a misdirected email to a reused password.
A phishing click, a shared login, an unlocked laptop, and a weak password can each open the same door for an attacker. Testing for cybersecurity awareness before day one gives you a clear read on how a candidate will actually behave once they have access.
Any job that touches email, a work computer, or company systems benefits from this check. Use it as an employee phishing simulation test for new hires, or run it as an office password hygiene test across an existing team before a security review.
It works well for:
Questions draw on current guidance from NIST, CISA, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, and other established sources on end-user security.
Topics stay grounded in situations employees encounter on an ordinary workday, from a spoofed sender address to a pop-up scam alert.
Is the Employee Cybersecurity Test an IT skills test?
No. This cybersecurity test focuses on the awareness and habits expected of any employee with a work computer or company email. It doesn’t test IT or security specialist knowledge, network configuration, or technical troubleshooting.
How long does the test take to complete?
Most candidates finish the cybersecurity online test in 15 to 20 minutes. The 30 questions are short, scenario-based, and don’t require any special setup on the candidate’s end.
Who should take this test?
Any job that touches email, a work computer, or company systems benefits from this check. That includes general office and administrative job titles, remote and hybrid positions, finance job titles that handle vendor payments, and any job title with access to customer data.
