The best antivirus sits at the desk.

A large share of security incidents starts with human error. With NICA you train your team in short learning videos, test them with realistic phishing simulations — and document all of it fully and traceably.

Why awareness

Technology alone won't protect you

Firewalls and virus scanners stop a lot — but the most sophisticated attacks target people. That's exactly where awareness training comes in.

One click is enough

A single careless login on a fake page can open the door to attackers — regardless of the technology in place.

Phishing keeps improving

AI-generated emails are often flawless and personal. The old tell-tale signs like spelling mistakes no longer apply.

Awareness is mandatory

Regular awareness training is a core NIS2 requirement; the GDPR also presupposes trained employees.

People become a strength

Trained teams report suspicious emails more often instead of clicking them — becoming an active early-warning system.

One programme, three building blocks

Train. Test. Prove.

NICA Awareness combines learning content, attack simulation and fully traceable documentation in one platform — for a lasting security culture rather than a one-off mandatory course.

Videos

Short, clear micro-learning units — on phishing, passwords, mobile work and more.

Phishing simulation

Realistic test emails measure your team's click resistance — with an instant learning effect instead of a penalty.

Videos

A ready-made library – videos that raise employee awareness

Not a dry e-learning click-path: short, clearly produced videos. Content is assigned to teams and roles automatically — deadlines and reminders run in the background.

  • Micro-learning of 3–6 minutes — learnable between two meetings.
  • Topics from phishing & passwords to social engineering and remote work.
  • Automatic assignment via distribution lists, including deadlines and reminders.
  • Ready to use – no need to create your own content.

Awareness isn't optional — it's required

The NIS2 directive explicitly obliges companies to train their employees regularly in cybersecurity. The GDPR also presupposes trained employees. NICA delivers both: the training and the verifiable proof.

NIS2, Art. 21

Regular cyber-hygiene training is a mandatory part of risk management.

In line with the GDPR

Staff awareness as a technical and organisational measure — documented.

Audit-ready

Traceably documented proof per person and course

Ready in four steps

From sign-up to the first simulation usually takes just one afternoon.

1

Create your team

Add employees manually or import them from your directory.

2

Assign content

Distribute learning videos and policies to teams and roles — with deadlines.

3

Launch a simulation

Pick a phishing campaign from the template library and send it automatically.

4

Prove it

Track progress in the dashboard

Frequently asked questions

The content is built as micro-learning: short 3–6 minute units. Employees learn at their own pace without interrupting their workday.
The simulated emails are modelled on real attack patterns — from CEO fraud to fake parcel notifications and Microsoft 365 warnings. Anyone who falls for a simulation immediately gets a short learning unit instead of a penalty.
Regular awareness training is a core NIS2 requirement; the GDPR also presupposes trained employees. NICA documents every completed course fully and traceably — exportable as evidence at the push of a button.
No. You start with a ready-made library of awareness videos and phishing templates. Your own policies, logos and content can be added optionally (white-label).
Through distribution lists you assign content to whole teams, locations or roles — manually or via directory import. Deadlines and reminders run automatically.
No. Individual results are visible only to authorised administrators. The goal is learning, not exposing people — analyses can also be viewed fully anonymised.
All data is hosted in line with the GDPR in data centres in Germany. We provide a data processing agreement (DPA).
Yes. Awareness training, policy management and emergency management share one platform. Employees see all their tasks — courses and policies — in one place.
