Article 21.2g Is Now Law
SFS 2025:1506 has applied since 15 January 2026. Security awareness training is one of the ten mandatory risk-management measures, not an optional extra.
About 60% of breaches still involve a person, not a machine (Verizon DBIR 2025). Our training and phishing simulations teach your people to recognise an attack and report it, in Swedish, run by the same analysts who staff our SOC.
A security awareness programme run by the same analysts behind our SOC, reflecting current MCF (formerly MSB) guidance.

A new law, a run of recent Swedish incidents and AI-written lures have turned security awareness training into a legal requirement, not a nice-to-have.
SFS 2025:1506 has applied since 15 January 2026. Security awareness training is one of the ten mandatory risk-management measures, not an optional extra.
NIS2 Article 20 makes the management body personally accountable for security measures, and obliges the board itself to be trained.
Sanktionsavgifter reach €10M or 2% of global turnover for essential entities, and €7M or 1.4% for important ones.
One supplier ransomware attack reached around 200 of Sweden's 290 kommuner and regioner; data of more than 1.5 million Swedes was published. IMY opened a granskning.
Ransomware took down payroll, health-record and retail systems across Sweden for days. A single Nordic supplier had become critical infrastructure overnight.
The Akira group threatened to publish almost 200 GB of documents and HR files after exploiting an old VPN.
Roughly 60% of breaches still involve a person. Technology alone does not close that gap.
By early 2025, AI-supported phishing made up more than 80% of observed social engineering. The lures keep getting better.
Security awareness training teaches employees to recognise and resist cyber threats such as phishing, social engineering and unsafe handling of data. Delivered through short lessons and simulated phishing emails, it lowers human risk, supports compliance with NIS2 and GDPR, and turns staff into an active layer of defence.
eBuilder Security delivers this through Complorer, our managed security awareness training and phishing simulation service. Complorer is not just software you log in to and set up yourself. We configure it, run the phishing campaigns, schedule the training and prepare your reporting, so a small IT team or a busy compliance officer does not have to.
Built for EU data-protection rules and Swedish data residency, not retro-fitted from a US platform.

Swedish-firstConfigured and live in days, not months, with no internal IT project to run.
Live in daysSecurity awareness training is a named obligation in several frameworks Swedish organisations answer to. Complorer maps your programme and reporting to each one.
In-scope essential and important entities must provide basic cyber hygiene and security awareness training to staff. It is one of the ten mandatory risk-management measures under Cybersäkerhetslagen.
Complorer delivers: role-based training and audit-ready records, with boards able to evidence their own oversight under Article 20.
Organisations must ensure staff who handle personal data are trained on protecting it and on spotting a breach. In Sweden, IMY supervises this duty.
Complorer delivers: data-handling and phishing modules, with completion logs ready as IMY-facing evidence.
Certification requires documented, ongoing information security awareness, education and training across the workforce.
Complorer delivers: the continuous programme and exportable evidence auditors ask for at surveillance and recertification.
Financial entities must run ICT security awareness programmes and training, supervised by Finansinspektionen.
Complorer delivers: sector-appropriate training and reporting for in-scope financial-sector firms.

eBuilder Security sets up Complorer for you: users, languages, role-based paths and your first campaigns. There is no IT project to run and no platform for your team to learn.
Employees receive their first microlearning modules and safe phishing tests. The managed programme then runs on a schedule, with difficulty tuned over time.
You review progress and receive automated monthly reports mapped to NIS2 Article 21.2g, GDPR and ISO 27001. The audit evidence is ready whenever a supervisor or your board asks.
Completion measures attendance, not behaviour. eBuilder Security tracks the numbers that actually move risk: reporting rate, time to report, click rate over time, and the ratio of reporters to clickers. A steady, progressively harder cadence builds the reporting habit that lets a SOC contain a real attack early.
What happens when a simulated phishing email reaches an employee.
A realistic Swedish phishing lure lands in the inbox: fake HR, payroll, BankID or a delivery notice.
If a staff member clicks, they see a short, no-blame teaching page, not a reprimand.
A trained colleague spots it and reports it through the one-click report button instead.
The reported email flows to the team; who reported, and how fast, is recorded.
Anyone who clicked is auto-assigned a 3-minute micro-module on that exact lure.
Reporting rate, click rate and completion update live; audit-ready exports stay one click away.
A real-style payroll lure. Click anything that looks off, exactly what Complorer trains your people to do. Most people miss at least one.

Complorer is a managed subscription priced per employee, billed predictably, with setup and ongoing management included. You are buying an outcome, fewer successful attacks and clean audit evidence, not another tool for your team to run.
Building the same capability in-house means licensing a platform, learning it, writing content, running campaigns and producing reports. For most Swedish SMBs and mid-market organisations, a managed service is faster and cheaper than the internal time it replaces.

The questions that come up in every evaluation, on the law, on GDPR, on frequency and on procurement, answered plainly.
Yes. Article 21.2g of NIS2, transposed into Sweden's Cybersäkerhetslagen (SFS 2025:1506), lists basic cyber hygiene and security awareness training as one of ten mandatory risk-management measures. Article 20 adds a separate duty to train the management body. Both have applied since the law took force on 15 January 2026.
Yes, when done correctly. Phishing simulation is lawful under legitimate interest (Article 6.1.f GDPR) if you publish a policy, forewarn staff that simulations happen, limit retention of individual results, and never use a single click as grounds for discipline. eBuilder Security builds the programme to meet these conditions from the start.
Run simulations at least quarterly for all staff, and monthly for higher-risk roles such as finance, IT administration, leadership and HR, alongside continuous microlearning. Frequency matters more than volume: a steady, progressively harder cadence builds reporting habits, while one annual test mainly measures a single day.
The global baseline phish-prone rate is 33.1%, falling to 4.1% after twelve months of training, an 86% reduction (KnowBe4 Phishing by Industry Benchmarking Report, 2025). New programmes commonly start in the 20% to 35% range. Use your own baseline as the comparison point, not a single industry average.
Reporting rate is the share of staff who actively report a simulated phishing email, and it is the metric that predicts real-world resilience. Proofpoint customers average around 18.65%, with financial services near 32% and education near 8%. eBuilder Security aims to get your reporting rate above 30% within twelve months.
Yes. NIS2 Article 20, transposed into Cybersäkerhetslagen, makes the management body personally accountable for security measures and obliges it to undergo training. eBuilder Security offers a fixed-scope board session mapped to Article 20, with an utbildningsbevis you can keep as evidence of oversight.
eBuilder Security's MDR is built on CrowdStrike Falcon as the primary platform, with Cybereason available for multi-platform environments, deployed through the device management you already run. CrowdStrike threat intelligence tracks more than 230 named adversary groups globally, and our SOC layers Swedish and Nordic threat trends on top, so detection reflects the threats actually targeting Swedish organisations.
Yes. An existing CrowdStrike or Microsoft Defender deployment speeds onboarding because eBuilder Security connects to your existing telemetry instead of deploying new sensors. Integration with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Sentinel and Entra ID is standard, and go-live is typically under 24 hours rather than the usual three days.
AIDR is eBuilder Security's AI detection-and-response layer that contains fast-moving threats autonomously in milliseconds, blocking lateral movement, credential stuffing and prompt injection before they escalate. A human analyst then validates and runs the response. AIDR handles machine-speed attacks while the named analyst handles judgement, so nothing waits on a queue.
eBuilder Security's MDR directly satisfies the core NIS2 Article 21 obligations: continuous monitoring, incident detection and handling, and the documentation tied to MCF reporting. On its own it does not cover supply-chain security, business continuity or awareness training. Our advisory and Complorer training services complete the remaining Article 21 scope.
Reported emails can flow into eBuilder Security's SOC, where they are triaged alongside real alerts. A staff member who clicks can be auto-isolated by eBuilder Security's AI detection and response, and simulation data enriches the risk scoring your incident response already uses. Training stops being a silo.
Not their logos without permission, which raises trademark issues. eBuilder Security uses generic look-alikes and your own internal senders to build realistic Swedish scenarios, such as fake HR, payroll, BankID and delivery messages. That keeps simulations legally clean while still mimicking the lures Swedish staff actually receive.
Keep the evidence a supervisor will ask for: course material, a dated attendance list, campaign results, your simulation policy, the management body's training record, and your role-based tracks. eBuilder Security produces these as standard output, so reporting to MCF, PTS or Finansinspektionen is a download, not a scramble.
Indirectly. The routes for public-sector buyers are Adda IT-konsulttjänster 2021 and Kammarkollegiet's IT-konsulttjänster för IT-säkerhet. eBuilder Security can be procured via underleverantör clauses, or for values under the direktupphandlingsgräns of 700 000 SEK exkl. moms, through direktupphandling.
Most programmes see meaningful change inside a quarter. KnowBe4 data shows a 40% drop in phish-prone rate after three months and 86% after twelve. The first signal to watch is the reporting rate climbing. That means staff are not just avoiding the bait, they are actively flagging it for your team.
Yes, if scenarios are updated continuously. ENISA's Threat Landscape 2025 reports that AI-supported phishing made up more than 80% of observed social engineering by early 2025. eBuilder Security refreshes Swedish-language lures to match current AI-driven techniques, so staff train against the attacks they will actually face, not last year's templates.
