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

PS: You can read more about how we can help you meet your compliance needs here.

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.

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

The SafeStack - Vanta integration now sends your users' security and compliance training data to Vanta every hour, so it can be included in Vanta's monitoring and reports.

SafeStack’s Security Awareness programme contains a lot of courses that help you meet compliance training requirements for frameworks like ISO27001, PCI DSS and SOC2.

If your organization is using Vanta to automate compliance related tasks, check out our Vanta integration to send your SafeStack users - and their compliance training information, automatically to Vanta.

Incidents and outages - nobody likes them, but they tend to happen every now and then.

We here at SafeStack are not immune to them. So if and when they do happen in the future, we endeavour to provide all our users with accurate and up-to-date information about them, so you know when your favourite secure development training provider is back to normal.

Our new SafeStack Status Page will highlight any current incident or outage causing service degradation on our learning platform. You can access the status page

• from within the platform, from the top navigation bar

• or simply by visiting https://status.safestack.io/

SafeStack can now sync your user information with Vanta.

Vanta automates the complex and time-consuming process of SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PCI, and GDPR compliance certification, and helps SaaS businesses of all sizes manage risk and prove security in real time.

SafeStack will send your user information to Vanta every hour, so it can be included in Vanta's monitoring and reports. This data will be tagged as originating from SafeStack.

To get started, head over to the Integrations section to connect your Vanta account with SafeStack. You’ll need to be a Vanta administrator to configure the integration.

Keeping learners up-to-date and engaged with their progress is now easier with the release of email notifications. Learners and Group Leaders can now receive emails about their Learning Paths and any upcoming seminars hosted by SafeStack.

Learners can customize their email notification preferences and choose what emails they would like to receive from their Profile section.

We’ll be adding more types of email notifications over time, and if you think there’s a notification that can benefit your learners please let us know!
