Considering the consequences of not complying with GDPR, one would think that every employee would be a team player and take every training when it comes out but sadly there are two ways in guaranteeing that awareness campaigns are a success: - Using threats of consequences for not complying - Using short, easy to use messages We believe in the latter, that's why we started AwareGO. We know that getting started as a DPO can be a difficult task.  We really want to help you get started.  Here is a link to a demo video where you can see an example of how we at AwareGO help DPO's to educate employees.   [![Watch Our Spear Phishing Video](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3950430/2b95ff59-f76d-46fd-9b94-c21e053f80a2.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3950430/2b95ff59-f76d-46fd-9b94-c21e053f80a2)   - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Topics: [security awareness](https://blog.awarego.com/tag/security-awareness), [dpo](https://blog.awarego.com/tag/dpo), [data protection officer](https://blog.awarego.com/tag/data-protection-officer), [tasks](https://blog.awarego.com/tag/tasks), [GDPR](https://blog.awarego.com/tag/gdpr), [cyber security](https://blog.awarego.com/tag/cyber-security) ## About AwareGO ### Our weapon At AwareGO, comedy is our weapon and we use it as an incentive to urge employees to become more aware and compliant.
