Security Awareness: from compliance to culture

Start with security awareness and build a safe working culture where information awareness and secure digital behaviour are the norm. Awaretrain helps you embed cyber-secure behaviour structurally across your organisation.

Two out of three security incidents are caused by human behaviour. Time to take action!

Security-aware employees are your best defence against digital threats. Get to know us today.

Investing in security awareness is a necessity

In a world of increasingly sophisticated digital threats, security awareness is more important than ever. Research shows that 68% of all cyber incidents are caused by human behaviour.

The impact of human behaviour on information security

From clicking on phishing emails to unintentionally sharing confidential information, everyday actions can lead to data breaches or ransomware attacks. Especially when suspicious situations go unreported. The result? Significant financial losses and reputational damage.

The impact of human behaviour on information security

Effective information security is therefore not just about technology or policies. Employees are both the first and the last line of defence. That’s why structural security awareness is not a nice-to-have, but a necessity in modern business operations.

People first: beyond compliance, towards real behavioural change

Of course, compliance with regulations such as GDPR, ISO 27001 or NIS2 is essential. But security awareness goes far beyond ticking a box. At Awaretrain, behavioural change is at the heart of everything we do.

By focusing on behaviour, you create alertness, encourage reporting and embed secure practices into everyday work.

A proven approach based on behavioural science

But how do you achieve real behavioural change? We use proven behavioural science models such as COM-B, which shows that behaviour is influenced by three factors: capability (can), motivation (want) and opportunity (allowed).

  • Does someone have the right capability (knowledge, skills and mental capacity) to act securely?
  • Is there sufficient motivation, both conscious and unconscious, to do the right thing?
  • Does the physical and social environment provide the right opportunity for secure behaviour?

By identifying barriers, we configure the Awaretrain platform to match your organisation’s needs. Through targeted interventions, such as additional training, social engineering assessments or internal communication, we actively encourage and embed secure behaviour across the workplace.

From project to process: security culture as a continuous journey

Behavioural change cannot be achieved through a one-off project. It requires an ongoing process with smart nudges, recognisable situations and committed leadership. We drive lasting behavioural change through:

A human-centred approach

Relevant, recognisable content without technical jargon that activates employees.

A combination of simulations, interactive learning and nudging

Practice-based learning experiences that subtly guide behaviour towards safer choices.

Ownership at every level of the organisation

From senior leadership to day-to-day operations. Secure behaviour starts with leading by example and managers who actively discuss security.

Our security awareness tools

Our tools and services don’t just provide insight into behaviour, they give you the means to make secure working part of daily practice.

We combine training, simulation and nudging in an approach that fits your organisation’s size and maturity level, always with lasting behavioural change as the goal.

You are also supported by our dedicated customer success team, who actively contribute during onboarding, adoption and the strategic embedding of security awareness within your organisation.

The impact of a successful security awareness programme

Safer behaviour, fewer incidents

Employees make more conscious choices, recognise risks sooner and report suspicious situations faster. This helps prevent data breaches and ransomware attacks, reducing financial damage, downtime and reputational risk.

Secure behaviour inside and outside the organisation

Whether working from home or using personal devices, employees continue to apply secure behaviour, strengthening the digital resilience of your entire ecosystem.

Trust from customers and partners

A well-trained organisation demonstrates control and reliability, reinforcing trust among customers, partners and other stakeholders.

Demonstrable compliance

Clear reporting on training and awareness helps you demonstrate compliance with legislation (GDPR, NIS2) and standards (ISO 27001).
