As learners watch a lesson, SafeStack will track their progress in the background and will mark a lesson as being completed. Occasionally, learners may find that their lesson wasn’t marked as completed depending on external factors such as their network connection. This would mean the learner would have to re-do the lesson or contact our support team for assistance.

We’ve introduced the ability for learners to mark a lesson in the Secure Development program as complete, which group leaders can opt-into from the Organization section under the Settings menu.

Turning this option on will show a Mark as Complete button alongside the player controls when a learner is watching a lesson. Learners are asked to confirm their decision, warning them that their lesson progress will reflect that it was manually completed.

We’ve implemented some extra functionality to enable group leaders to manage their teams better, with the ability to delete users. Simply search for the user you wish to delete in the Manage Users section, then click the Delete button straight from the drop down menu. Alternatively, you can also use the Delete User section while editing a user’s account, at the bottom of the page.

A safety net is also in place to ensure you don’t accidentally delete the wrong user without double-checking. As noted in the confirmation dialog, you can manually download a copy of a user’s progress report before deletion, as all of their data will be lost once deleted.

Instead of navigating to “Settings → Manage Users”, group leaders can now access the “Manage Users” functionality directly in the sidebar.

We’ve made this minor change to provide better visibility for an important feature used by group leaders.

At SafeStack, we love making it easier for organizations to meet their compliance training requirements. Our training is designed to support compliance requirements for frameworks like ISO27001, PCI DSS and SOC2. In order to highlight what parts of our training apply to which compliance frameworks, a few weeks ago, we released a handy compliance page.

Compliance training is spread across both our Secure Development program as well as the Security Awareness program. Some of our more recent customers were not able to view or buy the Security Awareness program, while we worked on making some strategic changes to the program.

We are now happy to announce that:

1. all Secure Development customers, who didn’t have access to the Security Awareness program, now have access to a limited set of free courses from this program

2. all Secure Development customers can now buy the Security Awareness program as an add-on

3. your learners will not see any Security Awareness content, until one of your Group Leaders assigns them to the program

4. we have redesigned our subscription page to better highlight what plan you are on and what add-ons are available for your organization in SafeStack

5. the subscription page itself has been moved from “Settings → Subscription” to “Subscription” in the sidebar

When setting up your Learning Path, you’ve previously been able to add a due date that your learners should have completed their courses. This due date in some instances would show as being a day forward or behind depending on if learners were in a different timezone.

We’ve now added the ability to set the due time that courses should be completed by, and improved how the due date is shown to group leaders and their learners based on their current timezone.

In a move to simplify our subscription structure, we've merged the Enterprise Plan with the Team Plan, creating a more straightforward and cohesive offering, while all features remain available. It’s important to note that this update will not impact our existing customers, except for the actual plan name being changed.

We're thrilled to introduce a brand-new Organization Settings page, designed to streamline your organizational management tasks and configure SafeStack to meet your team’s needs. Access to this page is reserved exclusively for group leaders of customers on our paid Team plan.

Within this page you’ll find a handy new option to ensure that users from your organization, signing up to SafeStack on their own, get added to your existing SafeStack organization, instead of being added to a completely new SafeStack organization.

Note that such users will be invited as Learners into your SafeStack organization and will not occupy any seats, until a Group Leader assigns them to one of our training programs.

To keep your learners on the path to success, we’ll now send out a reminder to those who still have courses to complete. An in-app and email notification will be sent a few days before the due date of their Learning Path, and contain a quick link for them to finish their Learning Path.

Learners can opt-out of email notifications from their Profile page.

In order to help you meet your compliance needs with ease, SafeStack now provides a handy compliance page for you to check out all the courses you need to complete, in order to meet compliance training requirements for supported frameworks.

At the moment, SafeStack can help you reach awareness related training for the following compliance frameworks:

1. ISO27001

2. PCI DSS

3. SOC2
