Security awareness training is common across organizations, but training alone does not always translate into consistent day-to-day protection.
This 5-minute checklist helps IT, security, and workforce leaders assess whether current security practices reduce risk effectively or still depend too heavily on individual behavior and manual follow-through.
You’ll be able to:
- Identify where security still depends on employee actions, rather than built-in controls
- Spot gaps in how workforce threats are recognized and escalated, including phishing and social engineering
- Understand how routine workforce activity creates risk, across devices, access, and data handling
- Assess whether security controls are applied consistently, across teams, worker types, and locations
What’s Inside
This resource includes a structured checklist designed to assess how workforce security operates in practice across your organization.
Inside, you’ll find:
- 8 checklist sections covering important areas of workforce and access security
- Practical questions and scenarios across phishing, devices, data, access, and AI tool usage
- A simple scoring approach to help assess your current risk exposure
- Guidance for interpreting your results, based on how much security still relies on individual behavior
- How Komp supports stronger workforce security governance, through connected workforce data, access visibility, and lifecycle controls
Who This Resource Is For
This checklist is designed for organizations looking to strengthen security across distributed and global workforces.
It is especially useful for:

- Organizations with distributed or international teams managing workers across multiple locations and employment models
- Growing companies looking to maintain stronger workforce controls as headcount and operational complexity increase
Whether you are supporting a smaller distributed team or a global workforce, this checklist helps you determine whether security practices are consistent, visible, and scalable.
