GoTutor mitigates phishing risk and strengthens GDPR compliance

About GoTutor

GoTutor is one of Denmark's leading providers of private homework and exam help for elementary and high school students. With a network of 5,000 freelance tutors and 25 office employees who match students and tutors, GoTutor handles large amounts of sensitive data. Data security and GDPR compliance are therefore crucial to protect students, parents and tutors from cyber threats. That's why GoTutor chose to implement Moxso's cybersecurity training for their 25 employees in the office to strengthen their awareness of threats and reduce the risk of data breaches.


Key takeaways:

  • Reduced risk of data breaches: Phishing click-through rates have more than halved in just a few months.
  • GDPR compliance assured: All employees receive basic GDPR training as part of the cybersecurity program.
  • Automated and targeted training: The solution is effective without disrupting employees' daily work tasks.

"Moxso fulfills our needs by delivering dynamic phishing simulations and cybersecurity training that truly engages our employees without taking focus away from their daily tasks."

- Ruben Samuel Sørensen, CEO of GoTutor (part of Egmont)


Challenge

Increased risk and low cybersecurity awareness

Prior to teaming up with Moxso, GoTutor faced challenges with employee cybersecurity awareness and lacked a structured approach to effective training. Previous attempts to implement cybersecurity training consisted of sporadic emails and manual reminders that did not create the desired impact.

GoTutor needed a scalable and effective cybersecurity solution that wouldn't disrupt daily operations while minimizing the risk of sensitive data falling into the wrong hands.


Solution

Automated phishing training and GDPR awareness

GoTutor chose Moxso to adopt a more proactive approach to cybersecurity. The implementation of automated phishing simulations and ongoing cybersecurity training provided employees with a hands-on and interactive learning experience.

Through targeted remediate training, employees who fall for phishing simulations receive immediate instruction on how to improve their security behavior. Moxso's solution requires minimal setup and maintenance, which has significantly reduced the workload for the IT department.

A major benefit for GoTutor was the integration of GDPR training into the cybersecurity program. This solution provides employees with the necessary knowledge about data protection, making it easier to comply without the need for separate training tools.


Result

Stronger security culture and increased data protection

Since implementing Moxso, GoTutor has seen a significant improvement in employee security behavior. The click-through rate on phishing simulations has been more than halved, showing an increased awareness of cyber threats in the organization.

Employees are now reporting suspicious emails at a much higher rate than before, making it easier for IT to identify and deal with potential attacks. Moxso's automated approach has also freed up valuable resources as the training runs without the need for manual administration.

At the same time, GDPR training has become an integral part of employee onboarding and ongoing development, ensuring that GoTutor meets regulatory requirements without additional burden. The new security culture has created a greater understanding of the threats among employees, making the organization more resilient to cyberattacks.
