Awareways

Awareways B.V. is at Euclideslaan 141 in Utrecht and registered with the Chamber of Commerce under number 56432267, according to its general terms.

It sells programmes rather than licences: the Wave learning platform with more than 85 microlearnings, phishing simulations by email, vishing and smishing, a mystery guest visit, a culture scan, campaigns and games such as an escape room. The company is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 and states WCAG 2.2 accessibility. Customers quoted on the site include the Dutch public body CIBG, whose information security officer calls the programme the clear frontrunner in a tender five years ago.

Programme plans are called Shift, Plus, Pro and Next, and are tied to a resilience level from Unaware to Resilient.

Shift is the quick start with four phishing rounds and twelve templates, Plus adds a configured Wave programme and SAML single sign-on, and the higher plans add behaviour strategy, a programme manager and an advisory board seat. The pages describe Shift for organisations of more than 25 employees and Plus for more than 150. The Pro plan lists 12 customised microlearnings, and the higher plans add priority care support and early beta access to new content.

The strength is the human side: culture scans, communication kits and a programme manager. The limitation is scale and price transparency: no amount is shown, the website is strongest in Dutch and English, and the pages read name no hosting location. Compared with SoSafe it is closer to a consultancy with software, and compared with Fallax it is a long way from a self-service tool. The vendor states that all plans meet GDPR, NIS2, ISO27001, DORA and the AI Act.

What Awareways does well

• Awareways B.V. is registered in the Netherlands under Chamber of Commerce number 56432267
• ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified
• Culture scan, campaigns and games beside the training and simulations
• Phishing, vishing, smishing and a mystery guest visit
• A programme manager and advisory seat on the higher plans

Where Awareways falls short

• No amount shown; programme plans are quoted
• Plans are tied to organisation size and a service model, not self-service
• No hosting location named on the pages read
• Focused on Dutch and English, with extra languages as an add-on

Standout feature. Awareways is the only platform here that measures an organisation on a resilience scale from Level 0 to Level 5 and sells programmes to match each level.
