SoloSecure: Certify Your Extended Workforce

Freelancers and contractors often access sensitive systems and data but typically use personal devices and work outside your regular onboarding, tooling, and monitoring processes.

High risk, low visibility: Most third-party workers rely on unmanaged devices and home or public networks, creating blind spots that your internal controls cannot fully address.

Regulators and clients don’t distinguish: Regulations and contracts demand the same level of protection for data, whether it is handled by employees or independent contractors. Gaps in your extended workforce can quickly escalate into compliance and liability issues.

Reputation on the line: A data breach caused by a contractor can adversely impact your brand. By demonstrating clear security expectations through contractor security certification for freelancers, you show stakeholders that you are proactively managing risk.

SoloSecure closes these gaps with focused freelancer cybersecurity training and a verifiable credential built specifically for independents.

How SoloSecure works for organizations:

Set SoloSecure as a standard: Make SoloSecure certification an expectation when engaging freelancers and contractors, ensuring every external partner meets a consistent baseline of cyber awareness.

Train in live, people-first cohorts: Your regular freelancers and contractors participate in scheduled, live virtual sessions led by Cybersnap experts, with content tailored to freelance workflows and the specific threats they encounter, such as phishing, social engineering, AI-driven scams, device, and data security.

Flexible cost model: You can organize SoloSecure training for your external partners while choosing whether you or the freelancers cover certification fees, thus avoiding new internal licensing burdens.

Build a vetted, trusted pool: Over time, you will develop a network of SoloSecure-certified freelancers and small vendors, simplifying vendor reviews and strengthening your overall security posture.

SoloSecure provides you with auditable proof that your extended workforce meets a defined security standard, which you can use to fulfill internal risk and compliance requirements while demonstrating assurance to major clients, boards, and auditors.

What freelancers and contractors gain:

SoloSecure is designed to be valuable for independents, not just a box to tick.

Practical, real-world skills: Training focuses on realistic scenarios including spotting phishing attempts (even AI-generated content), securing home networks and devices, handling data safely, and avoiding common mistakes like password reuse.

Recognized certification and badge: Participants receive a digital SoloSecure certificate and a verifiable badge they can showcase on proposals, profiles, and portfolios, indicating they are security-ready.

Stronger client trust and differentiation: Certified independents can demonstrate their understanding and respect for client security expectations, helping them stand out in competitive job markets.

Outcomes for your organization:

By rolling out SoloSecure across your extended workforce, you can expect:

Reduced risk from unmanaged devices and third-party access.

Clear, auditable evidence that contractors receive structured cyber awareness training.

Greater confidence from boards, regulators, and customers in how you manage external partners.

A stronger, more consistent, people-first security culture that extends beyond your internal staff.

SoloSecure helps you maintain the flexibility of freelancers and contractors without accepting unnecessary cyber risk.
