Designed to support more learners.
CFISA training is delivered through LightSpeed VT, which documents support for WCAG 2.0 accessibility practices, screen readers including JAWS, and closed-captioned video.
Texas-certified cybersecurity awareness training every year since 2020, now joined by certified AI awareness training.
Seven consecutive years of Texas cybersecurity certification.
CFISA has earned Texas cybersecurity awareness training certification every year since 2020.
Texas changed the cybersecurity training standard.
The new requirements reflect how the threat environment has changed, including current attack patterns, foreign-adversary awareness, generative AI, information protection, and updated reporting expectations.
So we changed our courses.
CFISA rebuilt its Texas cybersecurity training around the new standard rather than carrying forward the prior course.
CFISA’s separate Artificial Intelligence (AI) Awareness Training program is also certified by the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) under Texas law and aligned with Texas AI awareness training requirements.
Employees can be training within minutes.
CFISA-hosted eLearning is designed to get a workforce from purchase to assigned training without a long implementation project or complicated provisioning process.

The platform is built so organizations can manage a small team or a larger workforce without turning annual training into a manual process.
Add a single employee at any time or load many users at once.
Use an Excel file to import users and create a custom email message.
New users can be added automatically to an existing assignment.
Assign PCI to card handlers, HIPAA to healthcare teams, and Security Awareness to broader staff groups.
Reduce manager logins by sending progress updates automatically.
Give more than one manager visibility into the same training program.
Track completion.
Keep the records your organization needs.
Managers can monitor employee progress and completion while each successful learner receives a dated Certificate of Completion.
Know who has completed training and who still needs it.
Review progress without relying on manual spreadsheets or self-reported status.
- Progress overview by assignment or group
- Individual learner completion status
- Downloadable PDF and CSV reports
- Multi-location usage reporting
Useful for audits, training records, and annual documentation.
A dated Certificate of Completion gives the organization and employee an individual training record.
- Supports company and government audit documentation
- Provides individual proof of course completion
- Can be retained with HR or training records
- Helps document annual training and renewal cycles
Certificates document completion of CFISA training. They do not independently establish compliance with every regulatory obligation.

Michael Levin spent decades investigating cybercrime, protecting information systems, and leading cybersecurity programs before turning that experience into practical employee training.
