NPSA’s communications advice for reducing the impact of an insider event, highlights the importance of regularly testing your crisis communications plans. To help do this in a safe space, NPSA behavioural scientists have worked with crisis communication specialists to develop a range of insider crisis scenarios that are inspired by real-life events. This content will be available in a range of formats to meet the needs of all organisations.

“Working with NPSA was a pleasure from beginning to end. Insider risk is complex but the session was able to engage with the audience in a way that a presentation couldn’t and related the subject back to specific roles. The feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive and has sparked conversations that will help drive our strategy.”

"AWE continues to work with NPSA to ensure that we adopt great security to protect our people, sites and assets. This requires that we continue to innovate and be early champions of best practice and engaging with NPSA to look at fresh approaches to mitigating and manage insider risk is a key plank in our security strategy. The IR simulation enabled senior stakeholders who engage with security less frequently to grapple with the complex demands of an emerging security emergency and consider how mitigating actions would play out in our environment. This has, and will continue to enhance the way we operate."
