Our Story
Our founder, Sam Carter, an IT Engineer, CISSP and Security Trainer, recognized a need in the market for customizable cyber security and privacy training, after many years of providing security awareness training to various departments within the Federal Government. In January of 2007, Sam founded eLearningCorner with a focus on customized security awareness training, as well as other corporate training. In 2015, our company re-branded to ELC Information Security.
Our customization process for Cyber Security and Privacy Training is simple, cost effective, and puts you in control of your organization’s training. We believe in building a partnership with you to customize training around your organization’s culture, policies, and best practices, which includes branding every course you license from us with your organization’s logo. You can even create your own course text and our Instructional Designers will turn it into the training you require for your organization. We have been using the same customization process for over 10 years, which keeps our clients coming back to us year-after-year.
We offer a turn-key learning management system for hosting your training, with detailed completion tracking for audit compliance, or we provide seamless integration into your LMS. In addition, we provide free support to all customers throughout the license period.
We also offer continuous training options to include Micro-Learning refreshers, Phishing Simulation, Gamification, Penetration testing, and Application Security (OWASP) training.
We have assisted clients in a variety of industries and sectors, including:
- Healthcare – (focus on both HIPAA Security and Privacy Training)
- Education
- Aerospace & Defense
- Retail
- Information Technology

We are a team of CISSPs, Privacy Specialists, Instructional Designers, and Regulatory and Corporate Governance Specialists. We are constantly adapting to the rapidly transforming information security landscape of tomorrow and are ready to help your workforce do the same.
