Rocheston Cybersecurity Specialist (RCCS)

Many successful cyberattacks begin with a single person. Someone clicks a convincing link, approves an unexpected MFA prompt, or sends a file to the wrong address. Firewalls and antivirus cannot fully prevent those moments, but well-trained people can. RCCS training gives employees and everyday users the habits that stop common attacks before they start. The Rocheston Cybersecurity Specialist (RCCS) course is a two-day cybersecurity awareness programme. No technical background is needed, and it does not teach hacking.

The first day focuses on recognising threats and protecting yourself. Learners see how attackers target people, then learn to spot phishing emails, text message scams (smishing), phone scams (vishing), malicious QR codes and social engineering. They set up a password manager, turn on multi-factor authentication and practise safe browsing, safe use of public Wi-Fi and protecting their devices.

The second day turns to response. Learners practise what to do when a message looks suspicious, an account may be compromised, a device is lost, or sensitive data is sent to the wrong person. They also cover cloud and file sharing, workplace policies and newer threats such as AI-generated phishing and deepfakes.

The course uses 12 realistic scenarios and 10 hands-on labs, from investigating a phishing email to a final cyber hygiene challenge. Everything is built around four core habits: recognise and report phishing, use strong passwords, turn on MFA, and keep software updated.

For organisations, the benefit is a stronger human layer of defence. Staff report suspicious activity sooner, and fewer attacks get as far as the security team. Explore related programmes on our Rocheston cybersecurity courses page.

Course Structure and Key Details

The RCCS course runs over two days and contains 24 awareness modules. Day 1, Recognise Threats and Protect Yourself, covers cybersecurity fundamentals, how attackers target people, phishing, smishing, vishing, and QR code scams, and social engineering. It also covers passwords and password managers, multi-factor authentication, safe browsing, public Wi-Fi, malware and ransomware warning signs, and device and mobile safety. Day 2, Respond, Report and Build Safe Habits, covers reporting suspicious messages, handling suspected account compromise and lost or stolen devices, protecting sensitive data, cloud and file sharing, social media, remote work, AI scams and deepfakes, insider risk and workplace policies. It finishes with scenario exercises and exam preparation.

Practical work is central to the course. The ten labs are phishing email investigation, fake login page detection, password manager setup, MFA setup and recovery codes, social engineering role-play, safe browsing decisions, public Wi-Fi safety, data classification, an incident reporting drill, and a final cyber hygiene challenge. Learners also work through 12 real-world scenarios. These include a fake IT support email, a CEO gift card scam, MFA push bombing, a suspicious USB drive, a compromised coworker account, and AI-generated phishing.

Rocheston offers RCCS as live instructor-led training online or in a classroom, as blended learning, or as self-paced study on Cyberclass. Our team can confirm which format is available for your organisation in Saudi Arabia. For teams, Rocheston also provides an incident reporting workflow, an awareness poster pack, a manager briefing template and completion records.

There are no prerequisites, and no technical background is needed. The course is designed for anyone who uses email, devices, cloud apps, or online banking.

The RCCS exam has 50 scenario-based multiple-choice questions. Candidates have two hours and need 70% to pass, and the exam is proctored online through Rocheston Ramsys. A certificate is issued only after passing. Learners who want to go further can continue to RCCE Level 1 for a technical cybersecurity path, RSOC for SOC analyst skills, CCO for compliance, or RCCI for cyber forensics.
