What topics should a cybersecurity awareness quiz cover?

Phishing, password strength, two factor authentication, public wifi, lost devices and USB sticks, screen locking, and how to report a mistake. Those cover the everyday habits behind most incidents at small and medium organisations.

How does the quiz score employees?

Each question has a correct answer set in the builder. When someone submits, the form works out their score from the stored answers and shows it on the thank you page. You see every score in your responses and can export them as a training record.

How often should staff take security awareness training?

At least once a year, and when someone joins. Many organisations also send a short quiz after a real phishing attempt reaches staff, while the example is fresh. Check whether your insurer or a certification you hold sets a minimum.

Cybersecurity Awareness Quiz

A scored quiz on phishing, passwords and safe browsing that marks itself and gives each employee their result.

About this template

Most security incidents start with one person clicking one link. This cybersecurity awareness quiz checks whether your team would spot a phishing email, pick a strong password, and know what to do after a mistake. It scores itself and shows each person their result when they submit.

The final question matters most. Someone who clicked a bad link and reports it within minutes is a small problem, while someone who deletes the email and says nothing is a large one. Getting that answer right is worth more than the rest of the quiz.

The phishing warning signs question is marked all or nothing, so ticking every box does not earn marks. That rewards people who can actually tell a real warning sign from a harmless detail.

Swap in examples from your own systems, such as your VPN name or how to report a suspicious email, so the quiz teaches your process as well as general good habits.

Templates are a starting point, not legal or professional advice. Where a form carries consent, medical, or contractual wording, have somebody qualified review it against the rules that apply to you before you publish.
