Hi,
From my past experience the budget could be from as low as 0.5 $ to
over 250$ per user, depending from requirements and from desired results of the security awareness campaign. The second year usually costs from 10% to 33% of the first year, or more as there are no rules. That was my information when I have studied all the major suppliers in this field 18 months ago. Personally I learned how to do security awareness for "free". I google the security incidents in most important magazines and send them as a reminder to all employees in a powerpoint presentation. If you have the appropriate e-learning solution you can simply integrate the presentation into it and prepare some questions to measure the effect. Few times I bought a couple of inexpensive presentations from infosecuritylab.com site - buy.infosecuritylab.com, and combined them into a training program that was suitable for our organisation, because they have some great graphical material about information security and some posters I also use in our public places (toilets, cafeteria etc). Nevertheless, keep in mind that there are over 250 companies that could help you with the desired security awareness programme, but you need to simply google them and also make your requirements very clear and ask for a competitive price.

If your company is about the same size and you have already launched a security awareness and training campaign, would you please tell me how much it costed you the first year and how much it now costs you per year? Thank you very much for your help
