Guardey in a nutshell
Guardey is a Dutch cybersecurity company with a refreshing and human-centered approach. Instead of long, dry technical training sessions that people tend to avoid, they believe in putting people first. Their philosophy? People make the difference when it comes to digital safety, but only if you engage them in the right way: with something that’s easy to understand, fun to do and memorable.
So they came up with something smart: a platform that offers weekly cyber awareness training in a short, powerful and playful format. No boring modules or endless text, but microlearning sessions of just three minutes that are instantly applicable. Whether it’s spotting phishing emails or understanding how social engineering works, Guardey helps your team recognize and respond to risks faster.
Making awareness a core part of your organization
Cybersecurity shouldn’t be a one-off project, it should be part of your company’s culture. And that’s not a luxury anymore. With cybercrime becoming more prevalent, your colleagues are often both the first and last line of defense. Whether you’re working towards ISO27001 compliance or meeting NIS2 requirements, Guardey offers not just the right knowledge, but also the structure to make it stick.
How does the training work?
At the heart of Guardey’s approach is continuity. Every week, employees receive a short challenge tailored to current threats. Topics include data leaks, weak passwords, CEO fraud, and suspicious links. The training adapts to each user’s pace and knowledge level. Even better: companies can customize the content by role. That means someone in finance gets different scenarios than someone in IT. Far more effective than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Gamification: Learning should be fun
What really sets Guardey apart is how they use gamification. You earn points, collect badges, and climb the leaderboard. This adds a layer of healthy competition, colleagues want to beat each other or improve their own score. But more importantly, it keeps people engaged. Because they’re learning through play, the knowledge sticks better and becomes easier to apply. Cybersecurity turns into something active, not just something you’re “supposed to know.”
Realistic phishing simulations & social engineering training
Phishing simulation is a key part of Guardey’s method and for good reason. Phishing is still one of the most common tactics used by cybercriminals. Guardey confronts this head-on with highly realistic simulations. Employees receive emails that look just like the real thing, whether it’s from a ‘colleague’ or a ‘delivery service’, so they can safely practice their response.
But Guardey goes further. Their training also covers the psychological side of cyber threats: social engineering. This involves manipulating people to gain access to sensitive information. In today’s world, cybersecurity isn’t just technical, it’s human. People can be the weakest link, but also your strongest defense.
Who is Guardey for?
In a world where digital threats are part of daily life, no one can afford to fall behind. Whether you work in healthcare, education, government, or the tech sector, you’re handling data and privacy concerns. If you’re asking yourself “what is data security” or looking for accessible cyber security courses online, Guardey is a great place to start. Their approach is simple, effective, and available to everyone.
The perfect match with Spy-Fy
Guardey’s people-focused cybersecurity perfectly complements Spy-Fy’s mission. While Spy-Fy offers physical privacy tools that protect you from prying eyes and data thieves, Guardey focuses on the mental side: awareness, alertness, and knowledge. Together, they create a powerful combination: physical and digital protection for your personal and professional data. Within the Fendix network, where Spy-Fy has already been featured, Guardey fits right in.
