I am investigating this as one solution to meet PCI DSS compliance 
training requirements for MSU. It can be installed in Angel and be used 
as general information security training. It also has modules that 
address other regulations MSU must comply with, such as FERPA, Gramm 
Leach Bliley, HIPAA, and the Red Flags Rule.

Securing the Human includes the following modules (with times). I have 
looked at several of them and they seem easily accessible by a general 
audience.
