Free Security Awareness Quiz template
Phishing, passwords, and data handling – a knowledge check with teeth.
5 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start
Security training without measurement is a compliance checkbox. This quiz checks the behaviours that actually stop incidents: spotting phishing tells, password and MFA hygiene, safe data handling, and what to do in the first minutes after a suspected compromise – the answer that most determines blast radius.
The right answers are already marked and the pass mark is set at 75 percent, so it scores itself from the first response. Run it after training and twice a year cold. Score by department, never by name in public; the goal is targeted refreshers, not wall-of-shame dynamics.
