Information security is not just about technology and rules, but primarily about human behavior. Awareways supports organizations to structurally strengthen secure behavior, in the way that suits them.
Our approach makes employees resilient against cyber threats, human errors, privacy risks and the challenges of new technologies such as AI. And the results are measurable!

"The guidance to launch our first campaign was very good; a clear presentation on the possibilities with plenty of practical examples. Together with Awareways we are keeping everyone on their toes!"
CISO Municipality of Hof van Twente
The basics: phishing, secure hybrid working, strong passwords and clean desk.
Safe handling of mobile devices and physical security on site.
Privacy at the front desk, handling BRP data and social engineering.
Extra care with sensitive personal data and records.
Strategic risks, administrative duty of care and incident management.
Deep-dives into technical security and the latest threat images.
Together with Sopra Steria, we offer a comprehensive approach. They train management and other teams with realistic crisis simulations. Awareways directly translates the resulting lessons into smart (blended) learning modules for all employees. In this way, the simulation fits perfectly with the ongoing program.
Implementation support: Our program managers guide you from start to finish, so you're up and running quickly.
Software made in Utrecht: Digitally accessible and inclusive software, with data hosted in the EU.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our approach is specifically designed to secure the human factor within the BIO2 and Cybersecurity Act/NIS2. By measurably changing behavior, you not only meet audit requirements, you actually reduce the likelihood of incidents. Within two weeks, your basic program will be live.
This is an official quality mark: Awareways has been selected by the VNG as the specialist for the Security Awareness plot. This means that our approach has been tested for effectiveness within local government. The big advantage: every Dutch municipality (VNG member or not) can therefore purchase directly from us at predetermined conditions, without a time-consuming European tender.
We offer a "blended" total approach: Sopra Steria provides strategic boardroom training and crisis simulations, while Awareways secures behavioral change in the workplace. We translate the insights from a simulated incident from Sopra Steria directly into actual learning modules for all employees.
Sure. We offer a unique and modular learning path per target group, because the risks are different for an official in the field service than for colleagues in the social domain, at the public counter or the ICT department. The Wave platform contains 90+ micro learning modules. These modules are between 3 and 10 minutes and can be chosen separately. Our learning experts then adapt the content so that it is immediately recognizable and applicable for each target group.
Yes, inclusivity is the standard with us. Our platform is fully WCAG 2.2 compliant. This guarantees that all your colleagues have unhindered access to our training courses, regardless of their digital proficiency or any limitations.
Absolutely. Our library of 90+ modules includes depth on the AI Act, the Archives Act and the Open Government Act (WOO). In doing so, we promote the "digital dexterity" necessary for secure information-driven work, where employees learn how to handle citizen and colleague information with integrity.
