PassHRM · Human Risk Management

PassHRM — your people are the attack surface you can actually improve

A Learning Platform and Phishing Simulation module, tied to a measurable human-risk score. Turn security awareness from a compliance checkbox into a metric your security team can manage.

PassHRM is Passeca's human-risk management platform. It combines a Learning Platform — courses, localisation, micro-learning and policy management — with Phishing Simulation, and ties both to a measurable human-risk score. The score turns security awareness from an activity into an outcome a security team can manage and report.

The metric

The human risk score

Baseline measure improve.

1 · Baseline

Establish the starting point

An initial, no-notice phishing simulation measures how many people click, how many report, and how many enter credentials. That is your baseline human-risk score.

2 · Measure

Track behaviour over time

Subsequent simulations and course completion feed the score continuously, so you see whether real behaviour is changing — not just whether training was assigned.

3 · Improve

Show the reduction

Trend the score down over quarters and report it to leadership in the same language used for technical controls — a measurable reduction in human risk, with evidence.

Module 1

The Learning Platform

Course library, localisation, micro-learning, and policy management with sign-off.

The Learning Platform delivers the awareness curriculum. A course library covers the topics that matter — phishing, passwords, data handling, removable media, social engineering, incident reporting — with localisation so content reaches every employee in their working language. Micro-learning modules fit into a few minutes, which is how adult learners actually consume security content.

Policy management closes the evidence gap. You publish a policy, assign it, and track sign-off — so you can prove to an auditor exactly who read and accepted which policy, and when. These records can provide supporting evidence for relevant awareness and training requirements.

Module 2

Phishing Simulation

Templates, a difficulty ramp, and real-time coaching at the moment of click.

The Phishing Simulation module tests whether the learning stuck. A library of templates covers the lures in current circulation — from obvious spam to sophisticated spear-phishing and brand-impersonation. A configurable difficulty ramp lets you start gentle and escalate, so the programme challenges users without overwhelming them on day one.

The decisive feature is real-time coaching. When a user clicks a simulation, they are educated immediately — in the moment the mistake is fresh — rather than receiving a generic reminder weeks later. That immediacy is what changes behaviour.

Compliance

Which regulations require security awareness training?

ISO/IEC 27001:2022

Annex A 6.3

Requires information security awareness, education and training, making a managed awareness programme a direct control requirement for any certified ISMS.

GDPR

Art. 39

Sets out the Data Protection Officer's tasks, including awareness-raising and training of staff involved in processing operations. It does not impose a universal training-programme requirement on every organisation.

HIPAA

§164.308(a)(5)

The Security Rule mandates a security awareness and training program for all workforce members, including management, as an administrative safeguard.

PCI DSS

Req. 12.6

Requires a formal security awareness program to ensure personnel are trained on cardholder-data security upon hire and at least annually.

NIS2

Art. 21(2)(g)

Lists basic cyber hygiene practices and cybersecurity training among the mandatory risk-management measures for EU essential and important entities.

DORA

Art. 13(6)

Requires financial entities to include ICT security awareness programmes and digital operational resilience training in their staff training schemes.

PassHRM is built to produce the evidence each of these clauses requires — completion records, policy sign-off, and simulation results — captured automatically rather than reconstructed at audit time.

Integration

How PassHRM fits the Passeca stack

Reported phishing flows into the same incident workflow as technical detections.

When an employee reports a real phishing email — the behaviour the simulation is designed to build — that report flows into PassIRP alongside technical detections. PassAI-Guard can then triage and enrich it like any other alert, so human-reported threats are not stranded in a separate mailbox.

FAQ

PassHRM, answered

The questions security and compliance leaders ask before launching a human-risk programme.

What is PassHRM?
PassHRM is Passeca's human-risk management platform. It combines a Learning Platform (courses, policy management and sign-off) with Phishing Simulation, and ties both to a measurable human-risk score. The goal is to reduce the people layer of attack surface — the one an organisation can actually improve.
Why 'human risk' and not 'security awareness training'?
Because 'training' measures activity (who completed a course) while 'human risk' measures outcomes (who actually clicks, reports or mishandles data). The human-risk-score framing lets a security team show improvement to leadership in the same language used for technical controls.
How is the human risk score calculated?
The score combines three signals: a baseline established by an initial phishing simulation, ongoing measurement through subsequent simulations and course completion, and improvement as those behaviours change over time. It turns training from a compliance checkbox into a metric a security team can manage.
What does the Learning Platform module include?
A course library with localisation, micro-learning modules, and policy management with sign-off tracking — so you can prove who has read and accepted which policy, and when. It is built to provide supporting evidence for the awareness and training requirements of ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIS2 and DORA.
What does the Phishing Simulation module include?
A library of phishing templates, a configurable difficulty ramp from easy to sophisticated lures, and real-time coaching at the moment of click — so a user who falls for a simulation is educated immediately, when the lesson sticks, rather than weeks later.
Which regulations require security awareness training?
Security awareness and training requirements appear across frameworks including ISO 27001, HIPAA and PCI DSS. GDPR, NIS2 and DORA also address relevant training responsibilities, depending on the organisation and its regulatory scope. PassHRM is built to produce the evidence each of these requires.
How is PassHRM priced?
PassHRM is priced per seat — contact us for a quote. A free baseline phishing test is available to establish your starting human-risk score before any commitment.
Can I start with a phishing test before buying?
Yes. Passeca offers a free baseline phishing test that establishes your organisation's starting human-risk score. Request it through the CTA below — you receive a report of click and report rates with no obligation.
