SoloSecure: Certify Your Extended Workforce

Freelancers and contractors often have access to sensitive systems and data, but work on personal devices and outside your normal onboarding, tooling, and monitoring.

• High risk, low visibility
  Most third‑party workers use unmanaged devices and home or public networks, creating blind spots your internal controls cannot fully cover.

• Regulators and clients don’t distinguish
  Regulations and contracts expect the same level of protection for data, whether handled by employees or contractors. Gaps in your extended workforce can become compliance and liability issues.

• Reputation on the line
  A breach caused by a contractor still lands on your brand. Demonstrating clear security expectations for freelancers shows stakeholders you are managing that risk.
• 
  

SoloSecure closes these gaps with focused 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, so every external partner meets a consistent baseline of cyber awareness.

• Train in live cohorts
  Your regular freelancers and contractors join scheduled, live virtual sessions led by Cybersnap experts, where content is tailored to freelance workflows and the threats they face (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, avoiding new internal licensing burdens.

• Build a vetted, trusted pool
  Over time, you develop a pool of SoloSecure‑certified freelancers and small vendors, making vendor reviews easier and strengthening your overall security posture.

What freelancers and contractors gain

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

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

• Recognized certification and badge
  Participants receive a digital SoloSecure certificate and a verifiable badge they can share on proposals, profiles, and portfolios, showing clients they are security‑ready.

• Stronger client trust and differentiation
  Certified independents can demonstrate they understand and respect client security expectations, helping them stand out when competing for work.

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 security culture that extends beyond your internal staff

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