Human risk isn't a training problem. It's a communication problem. Briton.Co helps cybersecurity leaders change what training alone can't: how people behave, how they report mistakes, and how your organization communicates when it matters most.
You trained them. They still clicked.
Every breach, scam, and AI misstep has one thing in common: a person.
Firewalls and patches protect systems. Human risk strategy protects everything around them: the click, the call, the report that does or doesn't get made, and the message your leaders send when something goes wrong.
Employees are adopting AI tools faster than security policies can keep pace, often pasting sensitive data into tools nobody approved. The gap between what people use and what they understand is now one of the fastest-growing human risks in cybersecurity.
Annual awareness modules check a compliance box, but they rarely change what people do under pressure. Culture is your most powerful and most overlooked security control, and building it takes more than a once-a-year course.
When an incident hits, what your leaders say in the first 24 hours shapes how customers, regulators, and employees judge you. Security teams need a crisis communications plan before a breach, not after.
Voice cloning, deepfakes, and AI-written phishing are reshaping social engineering. Employees and executives at every level are targets, and most aren't equipped to recognize when AI is being used against them or their organization.
When people fear blame, they hide mistakes. A click that goes unreported for days does far more damage than one reported in minutes. Blame-free reporting is a security control, and most organizations don't have it.
Security teams speak in risk scores and acronyms, and employees tune out. If people don't understand why a policy matters, they work around it. Clear, human communication is what turns security policy into everyday behavior.
Most cybersecurity awareness vendors sell phishing tests. Briton.Co works on the layer around them: the culture, the communication, and the leadership behaviors that decide whether people report a mistake or hide it. Start with a talk, go deeper with a workshop, or bring us in to assess and fix the human side of your program.
Change how your people think about cybersecurity in under an hour.
Story-driven keynotes on human risk, AI-enabled social engineering, and security culture, built for conferences, all-hands meetings, and Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Every talk ends with actions your audience can take Monday morning.
Hands-on sessions for the leaders who shape security culture.
Half-day and full-day workshops for security, communications, and HR leaders. Teams leave with a working human risk plan, not just inspiration. Pairs naturally with a keynote for a full-day program.
A clear picture of where your people, and your messaging, leave you exposed.
A 4–6 week engagement covering staff interviews, a review of how incidents actually get reported, a crisis communications tabletop, and an executive briefing. You get prioritized, plain-language recommendations and a communication plan to act on them.
Senior human risk and security communications support, without a full-time hire.
A monthly retainer for organizations that need an experienced partner to run awareness campaigns, advise on security communications, and keep human risk on leadership's agenda as threats evolve.
A short call to understand your organization, your security program, and what's at stake. You'll leave with clarity on whether a talk, a workshop, or an assessment is the right starting point.
We look at how your people actually behave, report, and communicate under pressure, and build a clear picture of where human risk lives in your organization and where to focus first.
You receive plain-language findings with prioritized, actionable next steps — empowering you to make informed decisions and move forward with clarity, confidence, and a strategy that fits your organization.
The relationship doesn't end with a report. As technology evolves, threats shift, and your organization grows, we're here to reassess, advise, and help you sustain the trust you've built.
The AI voice scam was our wake-up call. Brittany helped us see that our real vulnerability was never the technology — it was how unprepared our people were. She changed that without fear tactics or overwhelm. Our entire organization now thinks differently about trust and security.
"The biggest risk in the age of AI isn't technology. It's human behavior — and that's also the biggest opportunity."
Briton.Co is a cybersecurity human risk strategy firm. We help security leaders reduce the risk that comes from people by fixing the culture, communication, and leadership behaviors that technology alone can't reach.
Founder Brittany Oliver spent more than 15 years in crisis communications, reputation management, and technology communications, most recently helping lead the Global Cybersecurity, Issues and Crisis Management team at Accenture, a Fortune Global 500 company. She has seen firsthand how breaches unfold, and how often the human response decides the outcome.
At the heart of Brittany's work is a drive to protect and defend: the people inside an organization, the trust they've built, and the reputations that depend on both. That conviction shapes everything Briton.Co does. No fear tactics and no blame, just practical strategies that help people recognize threats, speak up sooner, and respond with confidence.
Brittany speaks at cybersecurity conferences and organizations on human risk and AI-enabled threats. Recent stages include a keynote for ISSA Hampton Roads (July 2026) and talks at BSides Hampton Roads and BSides NYC (October 2026). Signature keynote: Your Users Are the Exploit: Building Human Risk Strategy in the Age of AI.
