Phishing & IT Awareness

Most cyberattacks start with an email. Train your employees to recognize them.

Why IT awareness matters so much

Over 90% of successful cyberattacks begin with a phishing email. Technical safeguards alone are not enough — people are the weakest link in the security chain, but also the most effective line of defense when properly trained.

IT awareness means: employees understand the threats, recognize attacks, and know how to respond — before any damage occurs.

Our services

Phishing simulations

We send realistic, simulated phishing emails to your employees. The result: a measurable click rate that shows how well-prepared your team really is. Anyone who clicks is immediately shown a learning page — not a punishment, but a teaching moment.

  • Predefined or custom-designed templates
  • Industry-specific scenarios (invoices, HR notifications, IT support)
  • Analysis by department, location, or role
  • Before/after comparison following awareness training

Awareness training

In addition to the simulation, we train your employees specifically on:

  • Email security: verifying senders, recognizing links and attachments, what to do if in doubt
  • Passwords and credentials: strong passwords, password managers, multi-factor authentication
  • Social engineering: manipulation over the phone, fake identities, pretexting
  • Mobile work: secure Wi-Fi, screen locks, lost devices
  • Reporting obligations: when and how to report an incident

Follow-up training

Employees who stand out during the simulation receive targeted follow-up training — discreet, effective, without singling anyone out.

What you receive afterward

After a phishing simulation and an awareness training, you receive:

  • Analysis report with click rates, common error sources, and recommendations
  • Proof of the training measure for your ISMS or supervisory authority
  • Improved security awareness — measurable and lasting
  • Recommendations for action for further technical or organizational measures

Who is this suitable for?

Phishing simulations and IT awareness training are useful for any company — regardless of size or industry. They are especially relevant for organizations that:

  • are pursuing or already certified to ISO/IEC 27001
  • work according to BSI IT-Grundschutz
  • operate in healthcare or social services
  • have repeatedly been targeted by phishing attempts
  • want to meet or optimize their cyber insurance requirements
