Security Awareness & Culture Benchmarking Module

From awareness to action – how it works in practice

NorthGRC is not just an awareness tool — it’s a campaign engine embedded in your GRC setup.

1. Start from a template
Choose from quizzes, surveys or policy flows — and customise content in minutes.

2. Target campaigns to teams
Send awareness activities directly to relevant departments or teams.

3. Track participation in real time
See who engages, who falls behind, and where follow-up is needed.

4. Nudge and follow up automatically
Send reminders to those who haven’t completed — without manual effort.

5. Document compliance
Everything is logged and consolidated in dashboards ready for audit.

Result: An awareness programme that is actually executed — not just planned.

Validate Knowledge with Targeted Quizzes

Move beyond passive consumption. Our quiz engine ensures that key security concepts are understood, not just seen.

Actionable Testing: Deploy expert-led quizzes to test knowledge and decision-making.
Continuous Feedback: Use results to refine your training focus in real-time.
Outcome: A measurable increase in employee competence and insights into how to reduce "Friction Factors."

Automated Policy Sign-offs & Compliance

Ensure your documentation is complete and audit-ready — without manual administration. Keep track of exactly who has read and acknowledged your critical internal documents.

Sign for reading: Ask employees to sign for reading policies, such as AI usage Policy, Business Continuity Plans, or Privacy Policies.
Audit-Ready Logs: Maintain a central, timestamped register of all document acknowledgements.

Outcome: No more chasing signatures in spreadsheets — and always ready for audits and regulatory reviews.

Target awareness across your organisation and external parties

Awareness doesn’t stop with employees. NorthGRC enables you to include your entire ecosystem.

Segment by teams: Send targeted campaigns to IT, HR, leadership and more.
Include external parties: Run awareness activities for suppliers, consultants and partners — without granting full system access.
Repeat and scale: Schedule campaigns to run continuously — annually, quarterly or as needed.

Result: Awareness becomes a continuous process — not a one-off exercise.

Built-in governance and control

Awareness is not just training — it’s a controlled process.

Clear roles and responsibilities: Define Awareness Managers, Creators and Auditors with precise permissions.
Consistent with your GRC platform: The same governance model as the rest of your compliance work.
Full traceability: All actions, responses and acknowledgements are logged.

Result: You can document not just what was done — but who did what and when.

Measure Your Culture Against Your Peers

Stop wondering if your results are "good." Our integrated surveys allow you to benchmark your organisation's security knowledge and perceptions against 2,000+ peers across the Nordic region.

Market Benchmarking: Compare your performance with 2025 Nordic survey data.
Identify Gaps: Pinpoint specific departments or personas that require targeted intervention.

Outcome: Objective context for your security maturity that resonates with leadership.

Everything in the module—surveys, quizzes, and sign-offs—is aggregated into your central NorthGRC dashboard.

Real-time visualisations: Clearly see how the gap between knowledge and behaviour closes over time.
Campaign insights: Track participation rates, pass rates and engagement across teams.
Board-level reporting: Access professionally structured dashboards that clearly demonstrate the value and impact of your security culture efforts.
