Why small businesses are prime targets

Hackers don’t just go after big names. Small businesses are often easier to breach:

  • Less formal security training.
  • Fewer IT safeguards.
  • More reliance on email, apps, and fast decisions.

Cyber Crime Game prepares your team to spot manipulation, avoid social engineering, and report risks before it’s too late — all without technical jargon.

What your team will experience

This awareness training flips the perspective. Employees become the attacker in a fictional simulation of their own organization.

They use phishing tactics, manipulate colleagues, impersonate leaders, and explore vulnerabilities. The result? Deeper understanding and better habits.

Key training elements:

  • Recognizing phishing and fake urgency.
  • Password hygiene and MFA misuse.
  • Spotting social engineering tricks.
  • Avoiding deepfake and voice fraud.
  • Decision-making under pressure.

The game is browser-based, multilingual, and fully NIS2-aligned. It can be rolled out in teams of 5 or 500.

Made for growing businesses

Whether you have 10 employees or 200, Cyber Crime Game makes awareness training scalable, relevant, and measurable. Perfect for:

  • Startups and growing SMEs.
  • Customer support and sales teams.
  • Finance, HR and operations.
  • Hybrid and remote teams.

No installation. No learning curve. Just instant impact.

It transforms passive instruction into active participation, which leads to better retention, higher engagement, and deeper understanding.

Plus, the emotional impact of a well-crafted game—feeling tricked by a fake CEO email, or catching a colleague’s weak password—sticks far longer than a slide or policy ever will. That’s why gamification doesn’t just inform—it changes behavior.

Yes. NIS2 explicitly requires organizations to train employees in identifying, preventing, and responding to cyber threats.

Our game fulfills this requirement in a way that’s measurable, memorable, and practical—far beyond a checkbox training.
