CyBehave Heroes applies behavioural science to recruit, train, and measure Security Champions - without requiring you or your Champions to be behavioural scientists. The platform translates the key frameworks and methods into guided workflows, giving you evidence-based precision at every stage of your programme.
A Champions programme is not a project with an end date - it is a continuous behavioural change effort. Heroes guides you through five stages, each with the right tools at the right time, so you can build, embed, mature, sustain, and evolve your programme with confidence.
Establishing foundations: secure executive sponsorship, define your org structure, recruit your first cohort, and run a baseline Champion Check-In.
Bedding the programme in: a regular cadence of pulses and check-ins, first interventions running, Champion onboarding flow tightened.
Scaling impact: COM-B-driven interventions, SNA-mapped influence networks, Team Pulse covering the org, Strategic Outcomes trending up.
Holding gains: consistent engagement cadence, measurable behaviour change in the data, Champions designing their own interventions.
Continuous improvement: retiring what no longer works, A/B testing comms and interventions, exporting evidence to the board.
One platform for the full Champion lifecycle - from onboarding and training through to board-level reporting and programme maturity.
Visualise Champion coverage across divisions, departments, and geographies. The engagement heatmap shows activity across six dimensions with exportable reports so gaps are visible at a glance.
Three times a year, Champions capture short outside-in feedback from their teams on security behaviours and maturity. Combined with monthly Champion check-ins, Behavioural Heartbeat gives you continuous visibility of your security culture - verifiable data to design, execute, and measure interventions.
A guided five-step workflow to design Behaviour Change Wheel-aligned interventions. Diagnose COM-B deficits, select matched techniques, build weekly action plans, and measure impact.
A multi-module tiered curriculum covering behavioural science, communication psychology, critical thinking, and programme leadership. Role-specific paths with certificates and downloadable summaries.
Assign behaviour change tasks from a curated library. Champion development journeys link tasks to progression milestones with XP and badge rewards that maintain engagement over time.
XP, five-tier progression, badges, leaderboard, and Champion of the Month. Evidence-based gamification that motivates without creating unhealthy competitive pressure.
An internal Champion community feed and a behavioural comms builder with psychological safety analysis and specificity checking to help Champions communicate more effectively.
Always-on behavioural coaching built into every page. Nudge helps Champions design interventions, supports Programme Teams in reading data, and guides every new user through the platform grounded in COM-B throughout.
Champions are volunteers with day jobs. Heroes is built around a 20-30 minute weekly rhythm - short tasks, bite-sized learning, and quick check-ins that fit around existing commitments. Sustainable engagement is how Champion programmes survive beyond year one.
Nudge is built into every corner of CyBehave Heroes. Grounded in the COM-B model and CyBehave research, it is a genuine coaching companion available to Champions, Programme Teams, and Programme Leaders around the clock.
Most security culture programmes stop at awareness. Heroes uses the COM-B model and Behaviour Change Wheel to diagnose why people behave the way they do - then designs interventions that last.
Every Heartbeat reading, task, and intervention in the platform maps back to one of three COM-B components, ensuring your programme effort is always directed at the right lever.
Read the science →The physical and psychological ability to perform secure behaviours. Skills, knowledge, and the cognitive function to apply them under pressure.
The environment that makes secure behaviour the easy, default choice. Social norms, tools, processes, and the absence of unnecessary friction.
The reflective intentions and automatic habits that drive secure behaviour. Incentives, beliefs, identity, and emotional responses to risk.
Effective Security Champions programmes are not about finding one heroic individual who gives presentations on password hygiene. They are about building a network of trusted peers across different roles, teams, and functions - each one positioned to influence the people around them in ways that a central security team never can.
Behavioural science tells us that people adopt behaviours because of social proof, trust, and peer modelling - not because of awareness presentations. Your Champions need to be embedded across your organisation, visible to different audiences, and credible in their own context.
Heroes' Social Network Analysis maps the real influence topology of your Champion network - identifying who is connecting teams, who is isolated, and where the programme is fragile before it becomes a problem.
Every Heartbeat reading, task completion, and Champion interaction feeds into the Security Culture Index - a composite score that tracks your organisation's behavioural maturity over time.
A blended 0-100 score drawn from Heartbeat readings, engagement metrics, and 360 feedback. Track ongoing progress and set improvement targets your leadership team can understand at a glance.
A six-dimension behavioural profile with automated risk scoring. See exactly which COM-B components are weakest in each team or department - and where to focus intervention effort first.
Coverage, engagement, Security Culture Index, and SANS maturity tracked over time. Board-ready dashboards generated from live data - no spreadsheets, no manual reporting.
The Training Academy gives your team access to the scientific methods and frameworks that underpin the Heroes platform - without requiring anyone to become a behavioural scientist. Each module is short and focused, bringing the key concepts to life through practical examples relevant to your security programme. Every module ends with a downloadable summary you can print out and refer back to, so learning stays accessible long after the session is complete.
Champions, security teams, and programme leaders each see the modules relevant to their role - building a shared language and evidence-based approach across the programme without overwhelming anyone with theory.
COM-B and Behaviour Change Wheel foundations, dual-process theory (System 1 and 2), communication psychology, and critical thinking. Designed to be accessible to anyone - no prior scientific knowledge required.
Champion skills and team engagement, intervention design, programme management, measurement and evaluation, and social network analysis. Modules match each role's practical day-to-day needs.
Organisational culture and resistance to change, strategic reporting and programme maturity, and choice architecture. Each module includes a downloadable PDF summary to keep and refer back to.
Specialist Quests are available for Champions who want to go deeper - self-enrol in optional pathways like Trusted Advisor or Risk Reporter to earn unique badges and develop specialist skills.
CyBehave Book Library — included for all users. Every member of the programme gets free online access to three essential titles: Building a Cybersecurity Culture, Behavioural Change Playbook for Cybersecurity, and The Rise of the Security Champion. The books ground the programme in the same evidence base that underpins every feature of the platform.
Heroes gives each user exactly what they need - no more, no less. Four distinct roles with tailored access and purpose-built dashboards.
