Municipal employees manage a lot of sensitive resident data. This makes them an attractive target for criminals. With Guardey, municipality employees learn to recognize and report these security risks.
During training, employees learn how to recognize security risks in everyday situations. Guardey supports municipalities with topics ranging from transparency and data protection requirements to incident reporting and broader information security standards. As a government body, municipalities are classified as essential entities under the NIS2 directive, making security awareness training a key compliance requirement.
The weekly Guardey challenges take up to three minutes to complete. With gamification elements like a recognizable storyline and leaderboard, your employees will stay enthralled.
Organizations are expected to regularly evaluate the effectiveness of their security awareness efforts. With Guardey, you can run phishing simulations and receive clear monthly reports that provide insight into behavior and training progress.

Guardey can be adapted to local regulations, languages, and organizational structures as we expand into new regions.

“Since we started using Guardey, I regularly get questions about our own security policies. And that’s exactly what I wanted. Guardey has to start an internal dialogue.”

CISO & Privacy Officer ““I immediately liked the fact that Guardey uses gamification to keep users engaged. Personally, I know it’s always easier to motivate myself when I can score points and compete on a leaderboard. I’m always more driven if I get to compete.””
