The Security Awareness Company (SAC) was founded in 1990 by one of the world's leading security experts, Winn Schwartau.

He began his awareness efforts at the national and international levels dealing with cyberwar, privacy and technically based espionage.

He then developed, defined and promoted best business practices for security awareness training with a singular focus on increasing understanding and instilling positive behavioral changes as they relate to protecting information assets.

“Security is about the behavior of people… the real endpoints of our networks.”

“If you can change behavior, you can achieve better security.”

Schwartau’s security acumen and vision led him to develop materials for Kids, Parents and Schools.

“If you make your security awareness program personal and teach your staff how to protect their families, friends and loved ones, they will listen.”


TODAY: SAC occupies a unique space in the security industry—Security Awareness By Real Security People. We have helped build successful training programs for many Fortune 500 companies by effectively communicating meaningful content to employees in their day-to-day functions as well as meeting requirements dictated by regulatory bodies such as HIPAA, Sarbox, GLBA, FFIEC and FISMA.


“If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. Security awareness metrics are an essential part of any program.”

SAC is dedicated to solving information security problems where they need to be solved: at the human level. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, SAC delivers information security awareness training and programs throughout the world.
