Detailed Review
CybSafe is operated by CybSafe Limited, registered in England and Wales under company number 09642350 with its registered office at 5 New Street Square in London, and a main trading address at One Canada Square.
Companies House shows it as incorporated on 16 June 2015 and held 75 percent or more by CybSafe Holdings Limited, itself a UK company. The platform has four products: GUIDE for personalised guidance, PHISH for simulations, RESPOND for no-code automation and SIGNAL, an AI layer for programme owners.
The approach is behavioural. CybSafe says it maps more than 100 behaviours to NIST CSF and MITRE ATT&CK and delivers nudges in Teams, Slack and email at the moment a risky action happens.
Its own results come from randomised controlled trials across 22,000 people, a claim that comes from the vendor and has not been independently checked here. The trust centre lists ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus, and production data is in the London AWS region. The trust centre also states AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2 or higher in transit, with keys held in the AWS Key Management Service and rotated annually.
The service suits a security team that wants evidence of behaviour change and has the tooling to feed it, since signals come from the stack around the platform.
A company that wants a lesson catalogue and a monthly campaign will find it unusual. No amount was found on the pages read, and the /pricing address on its site returned a not-found page. As a British company it sits outside the EU and EEA, which matters only if your buyer requires a contracting party inside them.
What CybSafe does well
- Registered in England and Wales as company 09642350, with a UK parent holding company
- Production data stored in the London AWS region, with backups and retention stated
- ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus listed in the trust centre
- Nudges delivered in Teams, Slack and email where people already work
- Maps more than 100 behaviours to NIST CSF and MITRE ATT&CK
Where CybSafe falls short
- United Kingdom, outside the EU and EEA
- No amount found on the pages read; a demo is the route in
- Runs on AWS, a US cloud provider, although in the London region
- Trial results are the vendor's own and were not independently checked
Standout feature. CybSafe is the platform here most explicitly built around measuring behaviour change instead of completion and click rates.
