Why certification should reflect reality

Most certifications focus on recall. But cybersecurity failures are rarely about forgotten facts. They’re about decisions made under pressure.

That’s why Cyber Crime Game includes a behavioral awareness exam based on what participants experience in the game. They don’t just answer questions — they relive scenarios. Benefits include:

  • Measurable outcomes that support audits and compliance.
  • Certification based on real simulations.
  • Insight into both knowledge and behavior.

What certification includes

After completing all 8 levels of Cyber Crime Game, employees take an awareness exam that reflects:

  • Phishing and spear phishing recognition.
  • MFA and password security.
  • Deepfake CEO fraud and social engineering.
  • Incident escalation and response.

Each exam question ties directly to a scenario they’ve played, ensuring that knowledge is grounded in experience. Participants aren’t just recalling terms — they’re recalling choices, pressures, and consequences they’ve just lived through. Certification is:

  • Fully NIS2-aligned.
  • Customizable to roles or regions.
  • Delivered digitally, with reporting.

For individuals and organizations

Whether you’re training one team or your entire company, awareness certification provides:

  • Clear benchmarks for learning and progress.
  • Motivation and recognition for participants.
  • Documentation for regulators and stakeholders.

It’s more than a formality — it’s a foundation.
