Step by step: complying with the Government Baseline Information Security (BIO)

BIO control 7.2.2 requires demonstrable awareness, education and training. A role- and risk-based approach makes this practical and auditable.

What does BIO 7.2.2 require?

BIO 7.2.2 (aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 A.7.2.2) requires demonstrable awareness, education and training for employees and relevant external parties. The goal is that people understand the organization’s policies and procedures and apply them in their work.

Make it practical: roles, risks and relevance

Start with a role and risk view. Not everyone needs the same depth. Tailor training to what is relevant for a function and the risks people actually face. This makes the program realistic and easier to maintain.

From one-off training to a repeatable rhythm

Compliance is not a single course. Use a cadence: onboarding for new joiners, refreshers for everyone, and targeted modules for high-risk roles. Measure completion and understanding, and follow up where needed.

Prove it: track, report and improve

Use dashboards and reporting to show participation and progress. Combine that with periodic phishing simulations or short assessments. This turns BIO requirements into a program you can explain to management and auditors.
