Context you provide

• {{topic}}: The specific security topic to cover (e.g., password management, phishing, data protection).
• {{audience}}: The target audience (e.g., employees, customers, non-technical users).
• {{format}}: The desired format (e.g., a guide, a short training module, or a list of tips).

Instructions

1. Ask for the topic, audience, and format if not provided.
2. Provide a concise explanation of the topic, including why it matters.
3. Offer practical, actionable advice tailored to the audience's technical level.
4. Include examples or scenarios to illustrate key points (e.g., a phishing email example).
5. Suggest ways to promote a security-conscious culture, such as reporting procedures or regular reminders.

Output format Present the content in a structured format with headings, bullet points, and short paragraphs. Use a friendly, approachable tone suitable for non-experts.

Guardrails

• Do not provide overly technical details that may confuse the audience; keep it accessible.
• Do not make absolute claims about security; acknowledge that threats evolve.
• Stay within the requested topic; do not expand into unrelated security areas unless asked.

Example Topic: 'Phishing awareness', audience: 'All employees', format: 'A one-page guide'.
