Cyber training your crew will actually finish.

Short lessons built around your own people, phone numbers and systems, with real incidents, hands-on exercises and a quiz. Primer keeps a training record for every person, with the date each one is due again. It runs in any web browser, with nothing to install and no internet connection needed.

Included with Harbor, Signal and BaselineWorks offline

For vessels and port facilities, pipelines, freight rail, transit, trucking and bus companies, and offices.

// what’s inside

Lessons people recognize as their own job.

Before the first lesson you enter your cybersecurity officer, who to call, your backup contact and the systems your people use. Every lesson then speaks in those names, so “report it” means “call Dana at extension 214”, not a generic help desk.

66 lessons, 5 to 10 minutes each

Each lesson has goals, examples from the kind of work your people do, an exercise, a quiz and a one-page printable summary.

1,060 quiz questions

Written for each kind of operation: vessels and facilities, pipelines and rail, offices, and trucking. Quizzes draw a fresh set each time.

Real incidents, with sources

Twenty real cyber incidents, such as the Colonial Pipeline shutdown, told in plain words with a link to where the facts come from.

Hands-on exercises

Spot the phishing email, decide what you would do, put the steps in order, sort the risks, and find the problem in a picture of a workplace.

Group mode for a shift

Run a lesson on one screen for a whole crew or shift, and record everyone who took part.

Records with due dates

Who took which lesson, when, and their score; who is due in the next 30 days; who must be accompanied until trained. Records print, and are kept encrypted behind a password.

// the rules it helps with

Built from the rule text, quoted word for word.

Coast Guard, 33 CFR 101.650(d)(1) (eCFR)

All personnel with access to the IT or OT systems, including contractors, whether part-time, full-time, temporary, or permanent, must have cybersecurity training

Helps you show: the all-staff lessons cover each topic the rule lists, from your plan’s provisions to reporting an incident to your cybersecurity officer, and the records say who took them and when.

Coast Guard, 33 CFR 101.650(d)(4)

Training for new personnel not in place at the time of the effective date of this rule must be completed within 5 days of gaining system access, but no later than within 30 days of hiring, and annually thereafter.

Helps you show: due dates for new hires, yearly refreshers, and lessons on your plan within 60 days of the Coast Guard accepting it.

NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, PR.AT-01

Personnel are provided with awareness and training so that they possess the knowledge and skills to perform general tasks with cybersecurity risks in mind

Helps you show: for offices and trucking, training that every person completed, with dates, for Baseline and for your insurer.

TSA pipeline, rail and transit directives

The directives have no separate training section, so Primer follows good practice.

Helps you show: people know their roles in your incident response plan and how to report an incident, mapped to the plan’s roles and to NIST CSF.

Plain limit. Primer gives evidence for your training program; it does not show that a requirement is met, and your plan still says what training you require. Nothing here is legal advice.

// screens

What your people see.

A Primer lesson step: find the warning signs in a text message about a parcel, with two of three signs found and explained. — An exercise inside a lesson: spot the warning signs in a real-looking message.

Primer's People and records screen listing four people with their track, system access and hire dates, and status such as due dates and must be accompanied. — Training records: tracks, due dates, and who must be accompanied until trained.

The same Primer lesson step on a phone screen. — Works on a phone or tablet too.
