How GDL Logística turned human risk into a measurable indicator
A logistics company with more than 1,000 employees found in Whalemate a way to measure human risk, train its users, and back security investment decisions with data.
No data, no visibility into human risk
Before Whalemate, there was no way to measure human risk. Awareness was limited to monthly emails with no visibility into who read them.
Cyber risk kept growing even with security tools properly configured. The missing piece was action on the human factor.
Awareness that can be measured
The security team identified human behavior as the main risk factor and went looking for a tool to measure and address it.
Whalemate stood out by turning awareness into something measurable: every campaign generates behavioral indicators to classify risk and track each user’s progress.
Monthly simulations as a team habit
GDL uses Whalemate for monthly phishing tests and to train users against real-world risk situations.
Recurring simulations made security a habit: every test is a concrete learning opportunity for the employee.
Growing maturity, decisions backed by data
Since implementing Whalemate, user maturity has grown month over month with clear indicators of progress.
Those indicators changed the conversation with leadership: today the security team can justify to the Board, with data, the need to invest in Information Security.
Whalemate is helping us make our corporate environment much safer through its awareness platform, and because of that I can justify to the Board, through indicators, the need to invest in Information Security.
