Process

Three steps to a trained workforce

No IT project, no project manager required. From activation to the first certificate typically takes less than 48 hours.

Step 01

Set Up Access

You receive your company account and add employees via CSV import or manually. Roles, departments and deadlines can be configured flexibly.

Step 02

Employees Learn

Each employee receives an email invitation and can start the assigned modules immediately in their browser - no software installation, on any device.

Step 03

Track Progress

The admin dashboard shows you live who has completed which modules, which quiz questions caused difficulty and who still has outstanding mandatory training.

Comparison

E-Learning vs. traditional classroom training

Classroom training has its place - but for annual mandatory instruction of all employees, e-learning is the more cost-effective and sustainable solution.

Criterion	Cyberschutzraum (E-Learning)	Traditional Classroom Training
Time investment per employee	10-20 min per module, self-chosen	4-8 hours block seminar
Scalability	Unlimited - from 5 to 5,000 employees	Limited by room size and trainer availability
Cost structure	Monthly flat rate, no travel costs	Per head + room + trainer + downtime
Evidence management	Automatic: certificates & dashboard	Manual: attendance sheets
Content currency	Continuously updated with new threats	Depends on next scheduled training date
Learning success	Quiz after every module, repetition possible	One-off, no built-in testing

Why AWARE7 Cyberschutzraum

What sets us apart from other providers

Pure awareness platforms don't test systems. Pure consulting firms are too far removed. AWARE7 combines both: we hack your infrastructure and train your employees: tailored to mid-sized companies, personal, without enterprise overhead.

Research and teaching as our foundation

20 %

Around 20% of our revenue comes from research projects for the BSI and the BMBF. Our studies, published at ACM and Springer conferences, analyse millions of websites and tens of thousands of phishing emails. Three of our executives are professors at German universities at the same time.

Digital sovereignty: no compromises

100 %

From first contact to final report, your data is stored on our own servers in Germany - no US cloud providers, no third-country transfers. Our AI also runs on our own hardware in Germany - with locally operated open-source models. Client and project data never reach external AI services. All staff are permanently employed, covered by social insurance and bound by uniform legal obligations.

Fixed price within 24h: predictable project timelines

24 h

Within 24 hours you receive a binding fixed-price quote without hourly rate risk. A well-practised team and standardised processes ensure a clear schedule with a defined start and end date.

Your dedicated contact

1:1

A personal project manager accompanies you from the first meeting to the retest. You book appointments directly with your contact person and keep the same contact throughout the project.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Cyberschutzraum

Everything HR managers and IT managers want to know before getting started.

Who is the Cyberschutzraum platform suitable for?

The Cyberschutzraum is aimed at all employees within a company - regardless of IT background. The courses are designed to be equally understandable and relevant for accountants, sales staff, executives and technical departments. HR teams and IT managers use the platform to roll out security awareness training efficiently across the entire organisation.

How long does a typical training session take?

Most course modules are designed for 10 to 20 minutes - so they can easily be fitted into the working day without blocking entire training days. This enables continuous learning in small units, which is demonstrably more effective for retention than full-day classroom sessions.

Do employees receive certificates upon completion?

Yes. After successfully completing each course module, employees receive a digital certificate they can download. Administrators can see the current training status of all users in the dashboard and export certificates at any time for compliance documentation or audits.

Does the platform meet GDPR requirements?

Yes, the Cyberschutzraum is fully GDPR-compliant. All data is stored and processed exclusively on servers in Germany. There is no transfer to third-party providers in third countries. The platform does not require cookies for tracking and can be operated in accordance with German data protection law.

How does the setup process work for a company?

Setup is completed in a few steps: after your company account is activated, you add employees (via CSV import or manually), assign course modules and set deadlines. A dedicated AWARE7 contact will guide you through the onboarding process and is available for any questions.

Can the platform integrate with existing IT infrastructure?

The Cyberschutzraum works browser-based without additional software installation. For companies with Active Directory or SSO systems, we offer integration via SAML 2.0. Please contact us if you need a specific connection to your existing HR or LMS system.
