The Learni story

Founded by passionate learning and innovation experts, Learni's mission is to make professional training accessible to everyone, anywhere in the world. Our team operates in major hubs — London, New York, Boston — and internationally, to support talents and organizations in upskilling.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Module 2CIS Benchmarks Windows: Advanced Server Hardening (PowerShell, Group Policy)

Apply CIS Benchmarks to Windows Server, deploy automated PowerShell scripts to validate over 300 controls, configure GPOs for enterprise-wide hardening, test on simulated Active Directory environments, integrate tools like Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer, develop a remediation playbook for secure SMB and RDP, validate changes via simulated intrusion tests, and generate customized compliance dashboards.

Module 3CIS Benchmarks Automation: DevSecOps Integration (Ansible, Terraform)

Automate CIS Benchmarks audits with Ansible playbooks and Terraform modules, deploy GitLab CI/CD pipelines for continuous compliance checks on AWS and Azure, code custom roles for Kubernetes CIS, simulate cloud deployments with pre/post-lift scans, analyze configuration drifts in production, produce automated Slack/Jira alerts, and optimize workflows to reduce manual audit time by 50%.

Module 4Advanced CIS Benchmarks Remediations: Containers and Cloud (Docker, Kubernetes)

Master CIS remediations for Docker and Kubernetes, apply 25+ container benchmarks via kube-bench and Trivy, secure EKS/GKE clusters with OPA Gatekeeper policies, test real attacks like privilege escalation, deploy DaemonSets for continuous CIS monitoring, document incident response procedures aligned with CIS, and integrate with your SOC for proactive enterprise defense.

Module 5CIS Benchmarks Compliance and Reporting: Certification and Monitoring (Splunk, ELK)

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
