Arda

Arda is a Dutch company that provides a cyber security awareness training platform aimed at making employees more conscious of information security and data protection. Founded in 2018, the company develops an online program combining e-learning modules, interactive films, expert interviews and case studies, phishing simulation campaigns, and serious games to teach staff how to recognize and respond to threats such as phishing and ransomware. The platform is designed for organizations across sectors including education, government, healthcare, and business, offering both a general baseline program for all employees and additional learning tracks for roles such as IT staff, managers, and financial specialists. Content is updated on an ongoing basis with current, relevant cases and is delivered at each employee's own pace through automated notifications. Arda positions its offering as a way for organizations to meet legal and regulatory requirements, including GDPR (AVG), NIS2, ISO 27001, and NEN 7510. Customers include educational institutions, municipalities, water authorities, and private companies in the Netherlands. The company also provides training courses specifically on GDPR, ISO 27001, NIS2, NEN 7510, phishing, and social engineering. Arda operates as a product-based training platform with a portal for administration and reporting, rather than offering broader technical security services such as penetration testing or managed detection.
