Transform employees into your first line of defence
Calculate, reduce and monitor human cyber risk with the new-class of user-focused security.
Your team should be your strongest defence. Not your biggest unknown.
Most small businesses have antivirus, email filtering and backups somewhere in the mix. The gap is usually people. Not because staff are careless, but because attackers are very good at using pressure, timing and believable messages to get a reaction.
Usecure helps you measure, reduce and manage human cyber risk with adaptive security awareness training, phishing simulations, dark web monitoring, policy management and clear reporting.
What this helps you fix
- Staff clicking convincing phishing emails.
- Exposed passwords appearing in breaches.
- Training that gets done once, then forgotten.
- No clear view of which people or teams carry the most risk.
- No simple evidence for cyber insurance, audits or compliance checks.
The problem is not your people. It is the lack of visibility.
Small business owners are often told that staff are the weak link. We do not like that phrase. Your people are busy, under pressure and trying to get work done. Attackers know this, so they target inboxes, passwords, payment processes and day-to-day habits.
Human Risk Management gives you a better way to deal with that risk. You can see where the gaps are, train people in the areas they actually need, test progress with phishing simulations, and produce evidence when insurers, clients or auditors ask what you are doing about cyber security.
Measure the risk
See which areas need attention across phishing, passwords, policies, training and user behaviour.
Train the right people
Deliver short, relevant training based on each person’s knowledge gaps, role and risk profile.
Prove improvement
Track risk scores, phishing results, completion rates and compliance evidence from one place.
Get your free Human Risk Report

- Clear remediation steps to reduce risk.
What Usecure brings together
Usecure is not just another training library. It brings the main parts of human risk management into one platform, so you can train, test, monitor and report without turning it into another admin-heavy job.
uLearn security awareness training
Adaptive, bite-sized training that targets each person’s knowledge gaps and helps staff build better habits over time.
uPhish simulations
Real-world phishing simulations that help you see who needs support, not who needs shaming.
uBreach dark web monitoring
Checks for exposed credentials linked to your business, so compromised passwords can be dealt with quickly.
uPolicy management
Keep important policies in one place and track whether they have been read, accepted and understood.
Human risk scoring
Turn training, phishing and behaviour data into a clearer score that shows where risk is improving.
Reporting for compliance
Useful evidence for cyber insurance, GDPR conversations, audits, client assurance and internal reviews.
Why small businesses like it
It does not need a full-time security team
Training, reminders, follow-ups and reporting can be automated, which suits small businesses without dedicated cyber staff.
It avoids generic tick-box training
People get training based on their own gaps, rather than everyone sitting through the same annual lecture.
It turns mistakes into coaching
If someone fails a phishing simulation, the response can be extra training, not a public telling off.
It gives you something useful to show
Risk scores, completion rates, phishing performance and policy acceptance are much easier to discuss than “we sent everyone a video last year”.

Where Black Swan fits in
Tools are useful. Guidance matters more. We help small businesses in Chesterfield, Sheffield, Derbyshire, South Yorkshire and across the UK use Human Risk Management as part of a wider security plan.
That means helping you understand the report, prioritise the fixes, connect the dots with email security, Microsoft 365, backups, endpoint protection and cyber insurance requirements, and avoid turning awareness training into another forgotten monthly task.
We explain the results
You get plain-English guidance on what the report means and what needs attention first.
We help reduce the risk
Training is only one part. We can also help with MFA, email protection, identity monitoring and recovery planning.
We keep it practical
No scare tactics. No massive enterprise programme. Just sensible security for real small businesses.
This works best when it sits inside a layered approach
Human risk management helps reduce the chance of staff being tricked. It should sit alongside the technical controls that protect your inboxes, identities, devices and data.
Check Point Harmony Email
Stronger protection against phishing, impersonation and malicious email threats.
Identity ProtectionHuntress ITDR
Spot suspicious Microsoft 365 activity, identity threats and account misuse.
Endpoint DetectionHuntress Managed EDR
24/7 managed endpoint detection and response for small businesses.
RecoveryMicrosoft 365 Backup
Recover email, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams data when mistakes or attacks happen.
Usecure Human Risk Management FAQs
What is Human Risk Management?
Human Risk Management is the process of measuring and reducing the cyber risk linked to people. That includes phishing behaviour, password habits, policy awareness, training gaps and exposed credentials.
Is this just security awareness training?
No. Training is part of it, but Usecure also includes phishing simulations, dark web monitoring, policy management, reporting and human risk scoring.
Will this embarrass staff who click a phishing simulation?
That is not the aim. The goal is to identify where support is needed and give people short, relevant training. Better coaching usually works far better than blame.
Do we still need this if we already have antivirus and email filtering?
Yes. Antivirus and email filtering are important, but they will not stop every phishing email, fake invoice, password reuse problem or social engineering attempt. Human risk management adds another layer.
Can this help with cyber insurance?
It can help provide evidence that you are training staff, monitoring human risk and taking phishing seriously. Insurers vary, so it should be treated as helpful evidence rather than a guarantee of cover.
Is Usecure suitable for small businesses?
Yes. It is particularly useful for businesses that need clear reporting and staff training without running a large internal security programme.
Can Black Swan help us understand the free report?
Yes. We can help you review the findings, prioritise the risks and decide what to fix first.
Start with the report. Then fix what matters.
You do not need to guess whether your team is ready for phishing, exposed passwords or day-to-day cyber pressure. Start with a free Human Risk Report and get a clearer view.
Has your cyber insurance form asked about staff training?
Some cyber insurance forms now ask about security awareness training, anti-phishing training, phishing simulations and social engineering fraud controls. If you need to show useful evidence for a broker, insurer or client, this guide explains what small businesses should check before ticking the box.
