The Journey

Three acts. One transformation.

Every Champion programme follows three stages. Heroes guides you through each one with the right tools at the right time.

Act I
Build Champions

Onboard, train, and develop your people. Baseline their maturity, personalise their development path, and give them early wins that build confidence and momentum.

  • Training Academy with quizzes and certificates
  • XP, badges, and five-tier progression system
  • Guided onboarding with setup wizard
  • Task Library with behaviour change activities
Act II
Build Culture

Champions shift from learners to influencers. Surface who they are reaching, which teams are shifting behaviour, and where your security culture is building or thin.

  • Social network analysis and influence mapping
  • COM-B Intervention Designer
  • 360 feedback and peer recognition
  • Coverage Map and engagement heatmap
Act III
Build Resilience

Connect Champion activity to outcomes the CISO and board care about. Measure security culture maturity, track behavioural trends, and prove the programme's value.

  • Programme health score and recovery plans
  • Security Culture Index trending
  • Board-ready evidence and reporting
  • COM-B Radar and Risk Matrix
Platform Features

Everything your programme needs.

One platform for the full Champion lifecycle - from onboarding and training through to board-level reporting and programme maturity.

🗼

Coverage Map & Heatmap

Visualise Champion coverage across divisions, departments, and geographies. The engagement heatmap shows activity across six dimensions with exportable reports so gaps are visible at a glance.

📊

COM-B Pulse Surveys

Monthly automated surveys mapped to COM-B dimensions. Track your Security Culture Index over time and pinpoint exactly where intervention is needed - Capability, Opportunity, or Motivation.

🧪

Intervention Designer

A guided five-step workflow to design Behaviour Change Wheel-aligned interventions. Diagnose COM-B deficits, select matched techniques, build weekly action plans, and measure impact.

🎓

Training Academy

A multi-module tiered curriculum covering behavioural science, communication psychology, critical thinking, and programme leadership. Role-specific paths with certificates and downloadable summaries.

Task Library & Journeys

Assign behaviour change tasks from a curated library. Champion development journeys link tasks to progression milestones with XP and badge rewards that maintain engagement over time.

🏆

Gamification & Recognition

XP, five-tier progression, badges, leaderboard, and Champion of the Month. Evidence-based gamification that motivates without creating unhealthy competitive pressure.

Threat Intelligence Centre

Live threat feeds with AI-generated summaries for easy consumption. Champion briefing panels translate technical threats into team-relevant context that Champions can share with confidence.

💬

Community & Comms Builder

An internal Champion community feed, noticeboard, and a behavioural comms builder with psychological safety analysis and specificity checking to help Champions communicate more effectively.

🤖

Nudge AI Coaching Assistant

Always-on behavioural coaching built into every page. Nudge helps Champions design interventions, supports Programme Teams in reading data, and guides every new user through the platform grounded in COM-B throughout.

Nudge AI

Your always-on behavioural coach.

Nudge is built into every corner of CyBehave Heroes. Grounded in the COM-B model and CyBehave research, it is a genuine coaching companion available to Champions, Programme Teams, and Programme Leaders around the clock.

Intervention coachingNudge helps Champions identify COM-B gaps in their team, suggests relevant techniques from the library, and guides them through building a practical intervention plan.
Programme intelligenceProgramme Teams can ask Nudge to interpret pulse score drops, check champion coverage gaps, and recommend targeted actions grounded in real programme data.
Platform guidance and toursNew users are greeted with a guided tour. Every context help icon across the platform opens Nudge with a plain-language explanation of that feature.
Anonymous programme insightsProgramme Teams see aggregated, anonymised themes from champion coaching conversations, with no individual attribution.
Daily limits and controlsProgramme Leaders can configure daily message limits per role, enabling or disabling AI chat for Champions and Programme Team independently. Guided tours and context help are always available regardless of AI chat settings.
Nudge is AI-powered and may occasionally need adapting to your context. Always apply your own professional judgement. Conversations are used anonymously in aggregate form to improve the Nudge experience.

The Science

Behaviour change, not just awareness.

Most security culture programmes stop at awareness. Heroes uses the COM-B model and Behaviour Change Wheel to diagnose why people behave the way they do - then designs interventions that last.

Every pulse survey, task, and intervention in the platform maps back to one of three COM-B components, ensuring your programme effort is always directed at the right lever.

Read the science →
Capability

The physical and psychological ability to perform secure behaviours. Skills, knowledge, and the cognitive function to apply them under pressure.

Opportunity

The environment that makes secure behaviour the easy, default choice. Social norms, tools, processes, and the absence of unnecessary friction.

Motivation

The reflective intentions and automatic habits that drive secure behaviour. Incentives, beliefs, identity, and emotional responses to risk.

Social Network Analysis

Champion Networks that actually work

Effective Security Champions programmes are not about finding one heroic individual who gives presentations on password hygiene. They are about building a network of trusted peers across different roles, teams, and functions - each one positioned to influence the people around them in ways that a central security team never can.

Behavioural science tells us that people adopt behaviours because of social proof, trust, and peer modelling - not because of awareness presentations. Your Champions need to be embedded across your organisation, visible to different audiences, and credible in their own context.

Heroes' Social Network Analysis maps the real influence topology of your Champion network - identifying who is connecting teams, who is isolated, and where the programme is fragile before it becomes a problem.

Key Bridge Nodes
Champions who connect otherwise isolated teams. Losing them fragments the network - Heroes identifies them before engagement drops.
Influence Reach
Who is each Champion actually influencing? Mapped by connections, not assumed by job title.
At-Risk Detection
Champions showing declining engagement surface automatically, so programme leaders can intervene early - not after they have already disengaged.
Cluster Health
Understand whether your Champion coverage is concentrated in one area or genuinely distributed across the organisation.

Measurement

From data to board-level insight.

Every pulse survey, task completion, and Champion interaction feeds into the Security Culture Index - a composite score that tracks your organisation's behavioural maturity over time.

Security Culture Index

A blended 0-100 score drawn from pulse data, engagement metrics, and 360 feedback. Track monthly progress and set improvement targets your leadership team can understand at a glance.

COM-B Radar & Risk Matrix

A six-dimension behavioural profile with automated risk scoring. See exactly which COM-B components are weakest in each team or department - and where to focus intervention effort first.

Programme Trends

Coverage, engagement, Security Culture Index, and SANS maturity tracked over time. Board-ready dashboards generated from live data - no spreadsheets, no manual reporting.

Training Academy

A modular curriculum built in.

The Training Academy gives your team access to the scientific methods and frameworks that underpin the Heroes platform - without requiring anyone to become a behavioural scientist. Each module is short and focused, bringing the key concepts to life through practical examples relevant to your security programme. Every module ends with a downloadable summary you can print out and refer back to, so learning stays accessible long after the session is complete.

Champions, security teams, and programme leaders each see the modules relevant to their role - building a shared language and evidence-based approach across the programme without overwhelming anyone with theory.

Foundation

Core frameworks

COM-B and Behaviour Change Wheel foundations, dual-process theory (System 1 and 2), communication psychology, and critical thinking. Designed to be accessible to anyone - no prior scientific knowledge required.

Intermediate

Role-specific paths

Champion skills and team engagement, intervention design, programme management, measurement and evaluation, threat intelligence, and social network analysis. Modules match each role's practical day-to-day needs.

Advanced

Strategic capability

Organisational culture and resistance to change, strategic reporting and programme maturity, and choice architecture. Each module includes a downloadable PDF summary to keep and refer back to.

Specialist Quests are available for Champions who want to go deeper - self-enrol in optional pathways like Trusted Advisor, Threat Hunter, or Risk Reporter to earn unique badges and develop specialist skills.

CyBehave Book Library — included for all users. Every member of the programme gets free online access to three essential titles: Building a Cybersecurity Culture, Behavioural Change Playbook for Cybersecurity, and The Rise of the Security Champion. The books ground the programme in the same evidence base that underpins every feature of the platform.
