NINJIO The Way To Go

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

While our company has a robust information security training program, the once-a-year frequency was not the best way to ensure everyone had the dangers they were protecting the company against in the forefront of their minds as they went about their daily tasks. NINJIO was selected to be an 'extra' to our information security awareness training, helping us to get people talking about information security with their colleagues and to bring in an element of fun and competition into what can be often seen as a 'dry' subject matter.

Pros

  • Engages - People enjoy the videos, they are fun and interesting and they get people talking.
  • Customer Service - NINJIOs customer service is some of the most amazing I have ever experienced in any industry.
  • Simplifies - Information Security and the way breaches happen can be very complicated and technical, NINJIO manages to distill this down to easily understandable situations and ways the issue could have been avoided.
  • Great Value - NINJIO offers additional peace of mind for your information security at a very reasonable cost.

Cons

  • Reporting - I've had a few issues with reporting. Not wanting to pay extra for the API - we needed to download user data including one of the additional fields to upload to our HR system - This could not be done directly through the system and is currently being done for us by NINJIO, it solved the problem, but it would be easier I imagine if we could do it ourselves.
  • It would be great if I could take people already added to the system, put them into a group, and send out a campaign, and the results of that campaign are added to their total in the system if I choose it, instead of having to add multiple records and not having them a link in any way.
  • It would be helpful if, when a person was deleted, it would show on reports that they were now deleted.

Return on Investment

  • NINJIO has brought information awareness up from a once-a-year pain to a monthly excitement.
  • Information Security is now part of the daily narrative in our business, in terms of ROI this is priceless.
  • We are able to create quality metrics that feed into our board pack, helping us to quantify awareness across the company.

Usability

NINJIO brings a fresh and intuitive approach to Security Awareness!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I originally came across NINJIO while researching end-user awareness training options. Their product brings a more user-friendly and relatable approach to very technical topics. Their approach is very engaging without being overwhelming to me (the support end) and to the end-user. The content is short and concise as to not lose the interest of the end-user. Their back-end reporting system gives the admin a very easy-to-read dashboard along with content tracking. Their library is voluminous and updated frequently with new and current "real world" related content. I would highly recommend their product to others looking for a very unique and engaging way to enhance your end-user awareness.

Pros

  • Content
  • Ease of use
  • Excellent back end support channel.
  • Well written
  • Informative

Cons

  • Easier way to upload new users.
  • Easier way to resend content to specific users.
  • Better transition from video content to quiz taking.

Most Important Features

  • Sharing Knowledge
  • Ease of use
  • Making it a more relaxed process

Return on Investment

  • Increased user awareness.
  • Reduced preventable events by 40%.
  • Does add to the ever growing SaaS monthly and annually expenditures.
