Arcus uses Guardey to keep its lawyers aware of cyber threats

The Arcus team has been engaging with Guardey’s security awareness game for a few months. Each week, they tackle three-minute challenges on topics like phishing, CEO fraud, ransomware, and more.

About Arcus

Arcus Letselschade is a Dutch law firm specializing in personal injury cases, dedicated to representing the interests of victims and their families. The firm is known for its expertise and commitment to transparent and swift resolution of claims.

The Challenge

 

Every law firm must prioritize a robust cybersecurity strategy. Lawyers routinely handle sensitive information, including professional secrets, personal data, and intellectual property, making it essential to protect this data.

Arcus recognizes the importance of preventing cybercrime and adhering to GDPR requirements. While they consistently update their security technology, they realized their team’s security awareness needed enhancement. To assess this, they conducted a phishing test, revealing that even their digitally savvy team had vulnerabilities—some employees clicked on the link and disclosed personal data. This experience solidified their commitment to regular security awareness training to safeguard both their own and their clients’ data.

Solution

The Arcus team has been utilizing Guardey’s security awareness game for a few months now, engaging in weekly challenges on topics like phishing, CEO fraud, and ransomware, all of which take just three minutes to complete.

Claudia van Meel, office manager at Arcus, has already noticed the positive impact of the training. “Guardey incorporates gaming elements, making it enjoyable for everyone. The team often checks the leaderboard to see who’s in the lead, adding a fun, competitive aspect that keeps everyone engaged,” she says.

Given the demanding schedules of lawyers, finding a suitable security awareness solution was a challenge for Arcus. “Guardey has succeeded in keeping everyone intrinsically motivated to participate in the weekly challenges. Since each challenge only takes about three minutes, it’s easy to fit it into the day,” Claudia adds.

Value

After just a few months of using Guardey, Arcus has seen significant benefits in three key areas:

Enhanced Phishing Awareness
Claudia van Meel shares, “Several employees have already reached out to me to verify the legitimacy of certain emails, demonstrating a growing awareness within the team—exactly what we aimed for.”

Engaging Training Method
Unlike many outdated security awareness programs, Guardey’s gamified approach makes training enjoyable. The fun challenges and competitive elements keep users consistently engaged.

Cybersecurity Insurance Compliance
Arcus’s cyber insurance policy, which covers damages in the event of an attack, requires regular security awareness training. With Guardey’s reporting feature, Arcus can easily demonstrate that all team members receive weekly training.
