Phishing & Awareness

Phishing and Awareness

The training that turns your employees into your first line of defence

Homepage > Continuous Operations > Phishing & Awareness

Phishing and social engineering increasingly target your staff, not your firewall, and one careless click can lead to a data leak, a fraudulent payment, or a full-scale breach such as CEO fraud. Safeonweb, Belgium’s national reporting centre, received nearly 10 million suspicious-message reports in 2025 (source), and NIS2, DORA and GDPR now expect you to prove your employees are properly trained to spot these threats. Technology alone cannot close that gap.

Your concerns, our answers

Would my employees actually spot a phishing email?

Most people can’t, at least not yet. Regular simulations and training measurably improve click and report rates over time.

Are we meeting our NIS2 or DORA awareness obligations?

Not with a single training session. Our managed programmes combine ongoing simulations with continuous training, built to support both.

What about our senior management and the board?

They’re often targeted directly. We run dedicated spear-phishing simulations and provide specialized training tailored for leadership, ensuring your executives and board members are just as prepared as your frontline staff.

Relying on occasional phishing tests or generic e-learning?

Campaigns designed by active cybersecurity professionals using current European threat intelligence, instead of generic templates.
Delivered from Belgium and Switzerland, with your phishing simulation and training data hosted in the EU.

Any questions?

Consult the frequently asked questions

How do you measure whether awareness training is working?

We track how your organisation improves over time, comparing click and report rates across simulations, and translate the results into reporting suitable for management and board audiences.

Is phishing simulation enough to meet my NIS2 or DORA awareness requirements?

No. Both NIS2 and DORA expect ongoing awareness campaigns, not a single training session. Our managed programmes combine regular simulations with continuous training, built to support both obligations. Not sure where your organisation stands on NIS2 or DORA?

Can this include senior management and the board?

Yes. We run targeted spear-phishing simulations for senior management and the board, alongside frontline staff training.

Where is my phishing simulation and training data stored?

Within the EU. Our KnowBe4 environment runs in EU data centres (Frankfurt or Dublin), contractually set to the EU region for every client; our Phished.io environment is run by a Belgian company.
