Most cyber breaches don’t begin with sophisticated hacking tools — they start with a person. Someone clicks a bad link, reuses an old password, or overshares on social media. It’s no surprise that 90% of attacks begin with human error (often accidental).
Too often, cybersecurity training is a once-a-year slideshow or compliance tick-box. It’s forgettable, uninspiring, and worst of all, ineffective. Businesses may be able to show a certificate, sure. But they’re still exposed.
What if training actually worked — not just as a policy requirement, but as a way to change how people think and act online?
That’s where Psybersafe Cybersecurity Training comes in.
What is Psybersafe?
Psybersafe is a behaviour-changing cybersecurity training programme built around one big idea: people don’t just need to know better — they need to act better.
That’s why it’s based on real behavioural science, not just information dumps or scare tactics. The training is designed to shift attitudes and habits over time, not overwhelm users in one sitting.
Here’s how it works:
- Bite-sized episodes: Delivered monthly, each episode takes just 5–10 minutes to complete.
- Interactive and story-driven: Lessons feel more like an engaging app than a corporate module.
- Subtle reinforcement: Follow-up emails and repeat exposure help make lessons stick.
- No setup headaches: You can get started with a 15-minute onboarding call or a simple 5-step self-setup process/
The programme covers all seven domains of cyber awareness — from phishing and passwords to data handling and mobile risks — but delivers them in a way that fits into the workday without getting in the way.
It’s cybersecurity training, reimagined for how people actually learn.
Why people love it
Most cybersecurity training gets ignored — and with good reason. It’s long, forgettable, and often feels like a compliance chore. Psybersafe is deliberately different.
- Short, practical, and well-paced
Episodes take 5–10 minutes and land in your inbox monthly. No logins to chase, no full-day workshops to schedule — just regular reminders that keep cybersecurity front of mind. - Not what people expect (in a good way)
The format is colourful, interactive, and genuinely engaging. It’s designed to hold attention, not test patience. Feedback from users is consistently positive, even from those who usually dread training. - Private by design
Everyone sees their own scores, and no one else’s. That anonymity encourages honest engagement and lowers resistance. Admins only see aggregated results, which keeps the pressure off. - Works on any device
Training can be completed on a phone, laptop, or tablet — whenever it suits.
It fits into the day without becoming yet another task — which is exactly why teams keep coming back to it.

Key features that set Psybersafe apart
Plenty of platforms offer cybersecurity training. Psybersafe is built for something more specific — lasting behaviour change that’s easy to track and easy to manage.
Here’s what makes it stand out:
- Dynamic Behavioural Insight Reports
Track how your team’s cyber habits evolve over time. These reports show overall behavioural trends, so you can see real progress — not just course completions. - Privacy-first scoring
Individual results stay private. Learners see their own progress; admins see the big picture. This approach aligns with GDPR and helps teams stay honest and engaged. - Real-time admin dashboard
Monitor uptake, reschedule episodes, preview upcoming content, and target support where it’s needed. It’s visibility without micromanagement. - Simple setup
You can get going in 15 minutes. Either self-serve in five quick steps or book a short onboarding call — no complex configuration required. - Covers seven core domains
From phishing and passwords to GDPR and mobile working, Psybersafe addresses the real risks teams face every day — and helps them build safer habits.
In short: Psybersafe stands out by combining behavioural science, ease of use, and meaningful progress tracking — all designed to make secure behaviour stick.
Putting Psybersafe to work: Who’s using it and why it works
Psybersafe isn’t theory — it’s designed for real teams, facing real risks, with limited time to spare. That’s why it’s already being used by organisations across finance, insurance, professional services, and more.
One example: Triquesta, a financial risk modelling firm, rolled Psybersafe out across its team. The impact was immediate.
“The team loves the fact that it’s short, fun and actually useful! We can see the change in attitude and behaviour already.”
— Anton van Etten, CEO, TriquestaPsybersafe brochure 2024
Where it fits best
- SMEs who need something easy to roll out and easy to stick with
- Remote or hybrid teams where flexibility and digital delivery matter
- Regulated industries that need to show evidence of real training and behavioural change
What an episode looks like
The first episode — “Size Matters! — Passwords” — tackles password strength through simple behavioural nudges. It doesn’t just explain the risks; it shows how poor habits form and how to replace them with better ones.
Other early topics include:
- Multi-Factor Authentication
- Phishing detection and creation
- Social media oversharing
- Password managers
- Data handling and GDPR risks
Each episode ties to real-world scenarios — no abstract hypotheticals — and builds toward long-term improvement.
Benefits beyond compliance
Most companies invest in cybersecurity training because they have to. But the real value of Psybersafe goes well beyond ticking a regulatory box.
Reduces real-world risk
With episodes covering phishing, ransomware, credential handling, and more, Psybersafe builds habits that protect against the most common and costly threats. When people know what to look for — and act on it — the likelihood of successful attacks drops significantly.
Boosts insurer trust (and may cut premiums)
Insurance providers increasingly ask for evidence of staff training and cybersecurity practices. Psybersafe gives you tangible behavioural data and regular engagement metrics — not just a one-off certificate. That can mean better terms and lower premiums.
Builds customer and stakeholder confidence
Showing that your team takes cybersecurity seriously can be a differentiator. Clients, partners, and regulators all want to see that you’re not just talking about security — you’re embedding it into daily operations.
Supports long-term cultural change
Because it runs all year — not just once — Psybersafe keeps cybersecurity top of mind. Over time, that helps build a culture where safe behaviour becomes the default, not the exception.
In short: it’s not just compliance — it’s an investment in resilience.
Who Psybersafe is best for
Psybersafe isn’t built for everyone — and that’s part of its strength. It’s best suited to organisations that want cybersecurity training that actually works, without creating more admin or burnout.
You’ll get the most value if you’re:
- A time-pressed SME
You need a solution that fits into your team’s day, not one that demands hours of scheduling and oversight. - Focused on lasting behaviour change
You want to reduce cyber risk in practice, not just pass an audit once a year. - Operating without a full-time security lead
You don’t have a dedicated cyber team, so you need tools that give visibility and control without the heavy lift.
If that sounds like your setup, Psybersafe is likely to fit better than most.
How to get started
Rolling out Psybersafe is intentionally simple. Whether you want to trial the experience or set your whole team up from day one, the process is fast and flexible.
1. Try a demo episode
Want to see what the training actually looks like? You can request access to a live demo episode — no commitment needed.
2. Choose your setup path
You’ve got two onboarding options:
- Self-setup in 5 steps: Get started via a unique link. Add your company and team, schedule emails, and you’re live.
- Guided onboarding (15 mins): Book a quick call with the Psybersafe team and let them walk you through setup.
3. Optional: Run a vulnerability scan
As an add-on, you can launch a Cyber Security Vulnerability Scan — a team-wide questionnaire that benchmarks your current risk level. It’s a useful way to show progress over time and spot early gaps.
Once live, episodes are delivered monthly by email, and progress tracking happens automatically through your admin dashboard.
No technical setup. No training portal to maintain. Just training that starts working. Fast.
Final thoughts
Too much cybersecurity training is reactive, box-ticking, and forgotten by Monday. Psybersafe takes a different approach — one that treats behaviour change as a process, not a PowerPoint.
It doesn’t demand hours of your team’s time or extra resource to manage. It just works in the background — nudging, reinforcing, and helping people make better decisions online.
For time-poor teams, stretched IT leads, or any SME looking to reduce risk without adding admin, Psybersafe Cybersecurity Training offers a practical step toward long-term resilience.
