Security awareness training is designed to teach employees to recognize and respond to cyber threats like phishing, social engineering, and data breaches. But here's the problem: most programs measure the wrong things.

Traditional training tracks completion rates and quiz scores—activity metrics that don't predict actual risk. At Savion, we focus on behavior change, not awareness. We measure what matters: reporting rate (how many employees flag suspicious emails), click rate reduction (fewer employees falling for phishing), and incident reduction (measurable decrease in security events).

The difference? Organizations with 40%+ reporting rates experience 60-70% fewer security incidents. That's the outcome we deliver—not just training checkmarks.

Want to see where your organization stands? Get a free phishing snapshot assessment to measure your baseline vulnerability in 1-4 weeks.

Short answer: You'll see early signals in 30-60 days. Sustainable behavior change takes 6-12 months.

Here's the timeline:

Week 1-4: Baseline measurement (phishing snapshot, human risk assessment) to understand current vulnerability. You'll get a detailed report showing click rates, reporting rates, and high-risk individuals.

Month 2-3: Immediate interventions—reporting culture campaign, high-risk coaching, BEC verification processes. You'll see reporting rate increase by 15-25% in the first 60 days.

Month 4-6: Continuous simulation program with just-in-time training. Click rates typically drop 30-50% as employees build pattern recognition and safer habits.

Month 6-12: Maturity phase—security champions network, department-specific training, technical controls. 60-70% reduction in security incidents by month 12.

The key insight: Behavior change is gradual, not instant. Organizations that commit to 12-month programs see 2-4x better results than those running annual training campaigns.

Yes—we're platform-agnostic by design.

Most organizations already have a security awareness platform but aren't getting the results they need. The problem isn't the tool—it's how it's used. We optimize your existing platform by:

• Redesigning simulation campaigns to target real-world attack vectors (BEC, invoice fraud, credential harvesting)

• Implementing behavior-first metrics (reporting rate, repeat offenders, incident correlation)

• Building just-in-time training that provides immediate feedback when employees click

• Creating department-specific content (Sales gets BEC training, Finance gets invoice fraud training)

Don't have a platform yet? We'll run a vendor-neutral selection process based on your organization size, budget, and integration requirements—then handle implementation and optimization.

The bottom line: We work with your tools, not against them. Our focus is outcomes, not vendor preference.

Curious how we'd optimize your current setup? Request a platform audit to see what's working and what's not.

Compliance is a byproduct of effective security awareness—not the goal.

But we understand that auditors, regulators, and insurance providers require evidence. Here's how we support NIS2 compliance, DORA requirements, ISO 27001 audits, and cyber insurance assessments:

NIS2 Compliance (Essential & Important Entities):

• Article 21 requires "regular training" and "human risk management." We provide quarterly training documentation, phishing simulation reports, and board-ready metrics that satisfy auditors.

• Expected outcome: Pass NIS2 audits with documented evidence of continuous security awareness programs.

DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act):

• Article 13 requires "ICT risk awareness training." We deliver role-based training for financial services (privilege-based training for IT, BEC training for Finance, social engineering training for Customer Success).

• Expected outcome: Demonstrate operational resilience through measurable behavior change and incident reduction.

ISO 27001 (Annex A.7.2.2 - Information Security Awareness):

• Requires "awareness, education, and training program." We provide training records, simulation results, and continuous improvement documentation.

• Expected outcome: Pass ISO 27001 audits with evidence of ongoing security awareness activities.

Cyber Insurance:

• Insurers increasingly require phishing simulation programs and MFA deployment to qualify for coverage or reduce premiums. We provide the documentation insurers need—and the behavior change that reduces claims.

• Expected outcome: 10-20% premium reduction for organizations with mature security awareness programs.

The Savion difference: We don't just help you pass audits—we reduce the actual risk that auditors and insurers care about.

Most vendors sell training. We deliver behavior change.

Here's the difference:

The Savion difference in three words: Behavioral science. Measurable outcomes. Vendor-agnostic.

We use the proven frameworks to diagnose why risky behavior happens in your organization—then apply targeted interventions across communications, culture, leadership, and tools so that safer behavior becomes the easy default.
