Script 1

Hello, and welcome to Bridge’s security awareness training

<NEWS CLIPS FLY IN>

Scary, right? Maybe you’ve been impacted by one of these breaches. Maybe you’ve had to deal with personal identity theft as a result. At Bridge, we’re accountable to our clients, and to ourselves, to keep data we handle safe. We don’t want to be the next bullseye.

At Bridge, we need to protect

•Personally identifiable information, or PII

•Protected Health information, or PHI

•Intellectual property – this is our “secret sauce”

•Client agreements

•And other sensitive Bridge internal documents

Script 2

For thousands of years, we have slumbered, concealed within the ancient shores of Cres.

Veiled by the forests.

Shrouded in the seas.

Enshrined in the darkest of caves.

But now the time has come for the Gathering.

From every corner of the realm they come, united by a common purpose, driven by the call of destiny.

For all paths lead to the Isle of Wonders.
