We’re a two IT professionals who take security seriously in our day-to-day work.

Like many teams, we were tasked with rolling out phishing awareness across our organization. So we did what most do: we started with e-learning. And just like most people, we quickly realized… it’s boring. Most trainings are forgotten the moment the browser tab was closed.

What we really wanted was something hands-on. Something that actually brings the need to think about the possibility that a mail could be a phishing attempt in our daily work. Something simple!

We looked for phishing simulation tools. And we were surprised — everything out there was either overly complicated, way too expensive, or required a self-hosted setup that felt like more work than it should be.

So we decided to build our own.

GovaGuard was born out of that demand — and shaped by the belief that security tools shouldn’t be a burden. We’re here to help teams like ours run phishing simulations that are lightweight, privacy-friendly, and get straight to the point.
