Before you get started

Useful answers.
Clear expectations.

Explore scope and rollout questions for your awareness program.

Does this imply government authorization or certification?

No. This page describes a training use case, not a procurement approval or certification. Verify deployment, hosting and assurance requirements during evaluation.

Should exercises contain sensitive agency information?

Use fictitious scenario content and approved templates. Agree information-handling boundaries before running a campaign.
