These steps are not in a particular order, but rather a great place to find everything to be done.
Our interactive onboarding checklists can be found in our support widget by navigating to Tasks.
Within the support widget customers can also contact us, find help centre articles or utilise our onboarding checklists.
You can find our Onboarding tracker in our Awareness Toolkit.
It is a helpful plan that highlights all the tasks you may need to do to get up and running with CybSafe. 🎉
⚠️ Please note, we have two different onboarding trackers depending on which plan you have. The Instructions tab will give you the information you need to know which one to use.

Follow the below information if you have purchased GUIDE, GUIDE+, PHISH or RESPOND packages.
🏆 Set some goals
We believe in setting yourself a goal and through hard work you will achieve it! Using CybSafe should not be any different.
Give some thought to what would mean a successful implementation, what would mean CybSafe was a success within your business?
Timeframes - How quickly do you want to launch and what would mean the launch was a success?
Define your goal! This might be launched to a certain office with 50% of users logging in and completed 3 CybSafe Goals.
Define your metrics to measure and what you would report internally.
📚 Decide approach
It's always handy to think through what are your areas of focus with CybSafe?
Define your roll out, a phased approach with smaller groups, then office locations then rest of the world. Or is it a big bang?
You can phase your roll out in terms of users onto the platform and phase the introduction of features and content they may have available.
Communications is key!! This ensures your people understand the requirement, they are aware of CybSafe and who we are.
Without communications you can erode trust in the platform. We have various templates in our Awareness Toolkit to help you .Make a decision if you are using CybSafe's auto generated invitations mails or if you would prefer to send these yourself internally. We always advise to use our emails to save you the manual work.
Do you have a requirement for a pilot group? We always recommend a small test group to ensure your setup is correct. You will need to define the audience as well as all communications for this group. Everything you do to roll out to this pilot group will be almost identical to a full launch.
