Escape the Breach · security awareness training game

Security awareness training as a game your employees finish

Ready the same day.

Escape the Breach is a 30-minute security awareness escape game in your company’s brand. Each employee plays four rooms of your office on a Monday morning: phishing, strong passwords and MFA, securing devices and reporting an incident. It is based on guidance published by CISA, NIST and the FTC. Everyone who passes the quiz (9 of 11) gets a record of completion. Setup is $500 once, then $19 per person, from $199 per run.

How it works

Four rooms of your own branded office on a Monday morning. Every employee plays on their own device, learns by doing and gets a record of completion.

  1. Send us your details

    Your logo and colors (we read them from your website; you check them), where people report a suspicious message and your IT contact. You can add your CEO’s name for the phishing room and your policy line. You type every name; we never take people’s names from the web.

  2. Ready the same day

    We set up your branded game and send you the links, the same day. A criminal group we made up, never your company, is the attacker; your people are the defenders.

  3. Everyone plays

    Each person opens the link on a laptop or a phone, nothing to install, and plays for about 30 minutes, alone or with a few colleagues. You get the report and the records of completion.

What employees do in the game

Four rooms, about 30 minutes. A wrong move shows why it was wrong and never locks anyone out. Each room ends with a short learn card.

Defending against phishing

The Inbox

Find the fake message in a real-looking inbox, tag the tells that gave it away, and decide what to do after someone has already clicked.

Strong passwords

The Vault

Pick the strong password, see why one key for two doors is a problem, and set up the second lock: multi-factor authentication.

Securing devices

The Desk

A laptop left open, an update waiting, a USB stick found in the lot, an app that asks for too much and the free Wi-Fi at an airport café.

Reporting incidents

The Phone

What to do first, who to call and why staying quiet is the trap. The end screen shows where your people report a suspicious message.

Based on guidance published by CISA (Secure Our World), NIST (SP 800-50) and the FTC (Cybersecurity for Small Business).

What you provide

Your brand

Logo, colors and company name, read from your website and checked by you.

Where to report

The address or channel for a suspicious message, and your IT contact.

Optional

Your CEO’s name for the phishing room and your policy line. Without them, the game says “your CEO” and “the IT helpdesk”.

Nothing else

No logins, no user lists, no installs: you send people the link.

Records of completion and reports

Record of completion

Everyone who passes the quiz at the end (9 of 11 right) gets “Security Awareness Training — Record of Completion” as a PDF, with their name, the date and the score. Retakes are unlimited; the best score counts.

The report

Per person, as CSV and PDF: completed, score, time, the weakest room and what was missed most, with a summary for your company.

For your auditor

Supports your training requirement under:

  • HIPAA Security Rule, 45 CFR 164.308(a)(5): security awareness and training (covered entities and business associates)
  • GLBA Safeguards Rule, 16 CFR 314.4(e): security awareness training
  • PCI DSS v4, requirement 12.6: security awareness program
  • NIST SP 800-53 AT-2 and NIST CSF PR.AT; CMMC Level 2 awareness and training (AT) practices
  • SOC 2 (CC1 and CC2 training controls); NY DFS 23 NYCRR 500.14

This training and its records are evidence toward these requirements; your auditor decides what each one needs.

Thirty days after someone finishes, a five-question refresher checks what stuck: its links are in the report.

Questions

What does Escape the Breach teach?

The four topics most security awareness programs start with: spotting phishing, strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, securing laptops and phones (updates, USB sticks, apps, public Wi-Fi) and reporting an incident quickly. It is based on guidance published by CISA (Secure Our World), NIST and the FTC.

Does it count toward our security awareness training requirement?

It supports your training requirement under rules such as the HIPAA Security Rule, the GLBA Safeguards Rule, PCI DSS 12.6, NIST SP 800-53 AT-2 and SOC 2 training controls. The training and its records are evidence toward these requirements; your auditor decides what each one needs.

Who gets a record of completion?

Everyone who passes the short quiz at the end: 9 of 11 questions right. Retakes are unlimited and the best score counts. The record, “Security Awareness Training — Record of Completion”, carries the person’s name, the date and the score as a PDF, and you get every record in the report.

What does it cost?

Setup, branded: $500 once. Then $19 per person, from $199 per run. Running it again costs the per-person price only, with no annual fee. Prices in US dollars; we send a quote and an invoice.

How fast can we have it?

Ready the same day. Send your logo, where people report a suspicious message and your IT contact, and we send you the links.

Do you need our employee list?

No. You send people the link; each person types their own name (and, if you like, a work email) at the start, so the record and the report carry it. Names in the game itself, like a CEO, a warden or a team lead, are typed by you, never taken from the web.

Can we try it first?

Yes: the free Harborview demo opens a fresh game straight away, with no form and no sign-up. Harborview Software is a company we made up to show the game; your game uses your brand and your details.

Can we run it live with a game master?

Yes, on request: our game master runs a live team session, with teams playing together. Ask for a quote.
