SoSafe Awareness Platform

SoSafe is a behavioral science-driven security awareness and human risk management platform founded in 2018 by Niklas Hellemann (former BCG consultant with psychology expertise), Lukas Schaefer, and Felix Schürholz in Cologne, Germany. The platform applies behavioral science principles including gamification, microlearning, spaced repetition, and immersive character-based storytelling to create habit-forming security behaviors. Sofie, the AI-powered conversational chatbot, delivers bite-sized learning, instant interventions, and answers security questions directly in Microsoft Teams and Slack. Unlike checkbox training, SoSafe focuses on measurable behavior change through personalized, engaging experiences that employees actually enjoy. Implementation takes just 2 days with only 20 minutes of management time required.

The Human Risk OS platform continuously monitors and measures human risk in real-time, providing behavioral insights through technical and psychological KPIs. The personalization engine automatically tailors content to each employee's role, behavior, and risk level, delivering targeted interventions based on highest-risk areas. SCORM streaming technology enables seamless integration with existing LMS systems without painful content migration, while the branding engine allows complete customization to organizational policies and guidelines. Phishing simulations include deep spear phishing customization with interactive walkthroughs and multi-channel deployment (email, SMS, QR codes). Analytics provide board-friendly dashboards showing compliance with ISO/IEC 27001, NIST, CIS, and PDCA cycles. The platform supports 32+ languages with cultural customization for global deployment.

Serving 250+ customers across 37 countries with strong presence in the DACH region, SoSafe raised $73M in Series B funding (January 2022, led by Highland Europe) and achieved $53.7M revenue in 2024. The company earned 13 G2 badges in Summer 2024 including Category Leader and Momentum Leader, and was recognized as a Strong Performer in Forrester Wave Human Risk Management Solutions (Q3 2024). SoSafe is ISO 27001:2013 certified, TISAX certified, and GDPR compliant with all data processing within the EU. The platform is compliance-ready for emerging regulations including NIS2, DORA, and supply chain mandates.
