Security for schools starts with people. From leaked student data to phishing and ransomware, most incidents begin with one human mistake. Guardey offers gamified security awareness training that teaches staff in every form of education how to recognize and report cyber threats.
Our attention spans are shorter than ever. Guardey challenges take no more than three minutes to complete. This makes it easy to play in between classes or during a lunch break — before you get the chance to be distracted.
Learning about cyber security shouldn’t be boring. Guardey increases engagement with a fun and relevant storyline and a leaderboard to encourage friendly competition among employees.
Guardey is built to support the security awareness needs of modern education. From reminding teachers to log out of shared devices after class to helping schools build safer digital habits, training connects directly to everyday situations in the learning environment.
Short, practical challenges help turn awareness into routine behavior, without adding extra pressure to busy school days.
Students face different online risks than staff. Guardey offers dedicated security awareness training for students aged 12 to 18, covering real-world topics such as cyberbullying, sextortion, AI, and social media.
Through recognizable scenarios, students learn how to spot manipulation, protect their privacy, and make safer digital choices. Stronger digital habits start early.
Education security standards differ per country. Across the EU, NIS2 sets requirements for higher education, in the UK schools work with the DfE Cyber Standards, and Dutch primary and secondary schools follow the IBP normenkader.
A large share of those requirements is about people and behavior. With Guardey you build that evidence continuously: weekly reports and in-depth analytics show participation and progress per team, ready for your audit file.
“Our employees suddenly discuss things like locking their screens or not leaving papers lying around. Security awareness has become a conversation.”
Ingrid Spijkerboer
ICT Coordinator and Privacy Officer
“As an admin, switching to Guardey has saved me a lot of time. The weekly challenges are all automatically planned and our employees get an email when it’s ready. I don’t have to spend hours at a time preparing the content anymore.”
Martin Sirotnak
IT manager
“Guardey doesn’t require a lot of time investment from users. We strictly looked at that because many of the teachers already have full calendars. One Guardey challenge takes no more than 5 minutes.”
Frieda uit het Broek
IT Policy Officer
“The team has been sharing screenshots of Guardey's leaderboard in our WhatsApp group. Everybody is keen on getting the top spot, which is a great boost for everybody to keep playing and learning about cyber security.”
That depends on your country and education type. In the UK schools follow the DfE Cyber Standards, in the Netherlands school boards work toward the IBP normenkader with milestones in 2027 and 2030, and higher education may fall under NIS2, depending on the country (see: NIS2 requirements for education). Guardey’s reports work as evidence for each of these frameworks.
For everyone who works in or around education: teachers, lecturers, supporting staff and administration. From a single primary school to a board with dozens of locations, and from vocational schools to universities. For pupils aged 12 to 18 there is a dedicated training with topics such as cyberbullying and sextortion.
From baseline measurement to audit-ready reports: see in 45 minutes what Guardey looks like for your school.
