About Arcus Letselschade
Arcus Letselschade is a Dutch law firm specializing in personal injury. The organization exclusively represents the interests of victims and survivors. Arcus prides itself on its expertise and transparent, expeditious handling of damages.
Challenge
Every law firm needs a good cyber security strategy. Whether it’s about professional secrecy, personal data, or intellectual property, lawyers always have access to sensitive data. With that comes a responsibility to secure that data.
Arcus takes responsibility for preventing cyber crime and complying to GDPR. They regularly update their security technology, but felt like the security awareness of their team could be improved. To test this, they performed a phishing test to see how their employees would react. And even though their team consists of digitally savvy people, a couple of employees clicked the link and left personal data. This reinforced their belief that regular security awareness training was necessary to keep both their own and customer data safe and secure.
Solution
The Arcus team has been using Guardey’s security awareness game for a couple of months now. They all take on weekly challenges about topics such as phishing, CEO fraud, ransomware, and more that take about three minutes to complete.
Claudia van Meel, office manager at Arcus, already noticed the effect of the weekly training. “Guardey uses gaming principles, which makes it fun to play. The team regularly checks who is on top of the leaderboard. This is a fun competitive element that keeps the team engaged. “
Lawyers are often busy, every minute counts. Because of this, the team at Arcus had trouble finding a security awareness solution that would fit their schedule. “Guardey has proven to keep everybody intrinsically motivated to play the weekly challenges. Since these challenges only take about 3 minutes to complete, it’s always possible to find a bit of time to play,” says Claudia.
Value
After a few months of usage, Guardey has already made a significant impact on Arcus. Three main values were defined.
Improved phishing awareness
Van Meel: “I’ve already had multiple employees reach out to me about specific emails, to make sure they weren’t phishing emails. This shows that there’s a growing awareness within the team, which is exactly what we were looking for.”
The training method is engaging
While many security awareness training solutions are old-fashioned, Guardey is built on gamification. The fun challenges and competitive elements keep users engaged week after week.
Cyber security insurance
Arcus’ cyber insurance, which covers damage in the case of a cyber attack, requires them to offer security awareness training to their employees. With Guardey’s reporting feature, they can prove that every team member receives weekly training.
