Your employees are the target. Make them your strongest defense.
Cyber threats don't break in — they log in.
And more often than not, they come through your employees.
SAFE is a structured, ongoing security awareness and phishing defense program built specifically for banks and credit unions. It doesn't just check a compliance box — it builds awareness, reinforces behavior, and reduces real-world risk.
Financial institutions are prime targets.
The weakest link is rarely technology — it's people.
SAFE changes that. It gives your team the knowledge, awareness, and ongoing reinforcement they need to recognize threats and respond with confidence — whether it's a phishing email, a social engineering call, or a suspicious link. Security awareness isn't a training event. It's an ongoing practice.
Quarterly training that actually sticks
SAFE delivers a fully built, quarterly cybersecurity curriculum combined with the ability to generate custom phishing campaigns for real-world reinforcement.
When an employee fails a phishing simulation, SAFE automatically assigns targeted training to close that specific knowledge gap — turning a vulnerability into a learning moment.
No extra platform. No additional logins. Full tracking, reporting, and documentation built into Monarch — the LMS your institution already knows.

What makes SAFE different
Generic cybersecurity training wasn't built for your institution, your examiners, or your employees. SAFE was.
Built for financial institutions
Every course addresses threats specific to banks and credit unions — not generic corporate content repurposed for your team.
Quarterly reinforcement model
Security awareness isn't annual. SAFE is continuous — delivering reinforcement every quarter so knowledge stays current and sharp.
Phishing-responsive assignments
Failed a phishing test? SAFE automatically assigns targeted training to close that specific knowledge gap before it becomes a real incident.
Dynamic course design
Short, focused modules minimize disruption while maximizing retention — with many SnapShot versions available for experienced employees.
Integrated in Monarch LMS
No extra platform. No additional logins. Full tracking and reporting built into the LMS your institution already uses.
For your team and your institution
SAFE delivers measurable value at every level — from the employee who now recognizes a spear phishing attempt to the examiner reviewing your security documentation. The three core components of BVS Individualized Learning — each designed to work together.
Documented, demonstrable protection
Clear understanding of current cyber threats
Practical, real-world prevention techniques
Short, manageable training sessions
Increased confidence handling suspicious activity
Documented, demonstrable protection
Reduced phishing vulnerability across all staff
Documented cybersecurity recurrency for examiners
Ongoing reinforcement — not once-a-year training
Demonstrable, exam-ready security practices
Stronger organization-wide security culture
Most cybersecurity training is a once-a-year checkbox. SAFE is built differently.
It combines three things that most training programs treat as separate — reinforcement, simulation, and remediation — into a single continuous system.
So your employees don't just complete training — they actually change behavior.
A smarter approach to
cybersecurity training
SAFE becomes even more powerful when combined with BVS's broader learning ecosystem. Each component strengthens what the others deliver.
Together, they deliver cybersecurity training that is continuous, targeted, and measurably effective — not just compliant.
