Cybersecurity Awareness Assessment

Firewalls don't keep people out. People let people in. A phishing email with the right tone, a deepfake video of the CEO, a link that looks exactly like it should: the last barrier is human alertness. And it's easily trained, but rarely measured. The Cybersecurity Awareness Assessment measures in 20 multiple-choice questions whether a candidate knows the digital pitfalls of 2026. Phishing, social engineering, deepfakes, passwords, mobile security, and the daily habits that determine whether your organisation is an easy or a hard target.

3 Reasons we love this assessment

01
The human is the weakest link
Almost every major data breach starts with one click from one employee. The test measures whether your new hires recognise that click before making it, instead of learning afterwards why they shouldn't have.
02
Deepfakes and AI fraud
A spoken voice sounding like the CEO, a video call with a manipulated face: the fraud is one generation older than the classic version. The test checks knowledge of the new tactics, not just the classics from five years ago.
03
Practical, not theoretical
No jargon, no ISO terms. The test shows scenarios from daily work and asks what you would do. Understandable for everyone, from receptionist to senior partner.

Information

Phishing and social engineering

The classic, but with modern variants: WhatsApp scams, LinkedIn connections, spoofed CEO emails. The test shows examples and measures which are recognised.

Deepfakes and synthetic media

Video, audio and images manipulated with AI. Which signals point to a deepfake, when should you interrupt a video call, how do you verify a request that fits too well.

Passwords and access

Password managers, MFA, biometrics. What is a good practice, what is fake security, and how do you combine ease of use with real protection.

Data hygiene

What belongs in a prompt, what doesn't belong in an email, what do you do with a lost USB stick. The daily habits that separate a safe office from a ticking time bomb.
