ISD resources for Business

We are proud to be a leader in digital literacy training for adults and business leaders, helping organisations foster a culture of digital citizenship. Our programmes support both leadership and employees in countering weaponised hate, information operations and false narratives in their workplace. We also work with businesses to provide bespoke insights into evolving narratives targeting their industries and help identify potential threats to both organisations and individuals. To find out more about how ISD can support your business, email [email protected].

Threat Detection, Research and Analysis:

We provide businesses with insights into evolving narratives targeting their industries and help identify potential threats to both organisations and individuals.

Policy advice and support

We work both directly with individual companies and through broader industry initiatives to provide advisory services that help ensure their policies are equipped to navigate today’s complex digital ecosystem. We also deliver training for businesses and have partnered with large multinational corporations operating across multiple countries.

Training and capacity building

Programmes such as the Business Council for Democracy (BC4D) equip employees with the skills to identify and counter all forms of digital harms. They also enhance digital resilience through training in digital hygiene and operational security and strengthen social cohesion across companies of all sizes.
