Our Difference

Security doesn't end at the desk.

Most trainings only protect office teams at their laptops. Attackers don't stop there. We protect the entire human attack surface around your company.

Blue Collar & Deskless Workers

Production, logistics, retail, field service — employees without a company laptop or email are left out by traditional training. Webguardiola is 100% mobile-ready, works on personal smartphones, and only needs an email code to log in.

Fully responsive No company laptop needed

Supply Chain & Partner SMEs

NIS2 puts supply chain security risks into sharper focus. Your suppliers and distributors — often SMEs without a security budget — can use the free training directly or receive sponsored access.

Supply chain awareness Free for partners

Family & Personal Network

In home offices, company laptops share the same WiFi as personal devices. When family members browse safely, the company network is safer too. Companies can offer free access as an employee benefit — real employer branding with substance.

🎓 Research-based

Built on scientific evidence

Webguardiola is based on ongoing PhD research: why do people click phishing emails — and how can that change? The study investigates cognitive biases (including overconfidence) in employees who believe they can spot phishing but actually cannot. These findings directly shape the training's structure and feedback mechanisms.

📋 NIS2 & ISO 27001

Free training to meet your NIS2 obligations

The NIS2 directive requires EU companies to regularly train employees in cybersecurity. The free training documents each completion with a personal certificate. For central audit records for all employees, the Business package provides an aggregated company report.

Especially relevant for: critical infrastructure companies, suppliers with their own NIS2 obligations, and SMEs preparing for ISO 27001 or TISAX audits.
