Uncovering Hidden Vulnerabilities Traditional Tools Overlook
Transforming the human element of security through evidence-based behavioural interventions
Privci is a research‑driven platform — the Human Vulnerability Scanner — that addresses the human element of cybersecurity at a deeper, more scientific level. Rather than relying on static awareness training, Privci focuses on sustainable behavioural change through targeted, evidence‑based interventions.
Our approach is grounded in computational methods, combining advanced AI techniques with established behaviour‑change models from psychology to understand, predict, and influence real‑world security behaviour.
Our method is operationalised through a structured, cyclical framework called APIR (Assess, Personalise, Intervene, Reassess), creating a continuous feedback loop that strengthens security behaviour over time.
Continuous data synthesis from user behaviour, policies, and threat intelligence to build dynamic behavioural profiles
Advanced behavioural modelling across individual and archetype layers for context-aware risk assessment
Targeted interventions from 10 specialised Direct Interventions powered by AI-driven reasoning layer
Continuous evaluation using reinforcement learning to refine intervention strategies for each behavioural profile
The central component of Privci operates continuously in the background, using lightweight browser‑based agents to observe and measure how employees respond to real, contemporary cyber threats.
The assessment uses a comprehensive scanning methodology that monitors user interactions across multiple security domains over 15–90 days, providing a realistic, real‑world view of how employees behave under normal working conditions.
Measures individual susceptibility to security threats
Quantitative organisational exposure to specific threats
Holistic measure of overall human‑centric risk
User classifications based on psychological patterns
Our interventions are grounded in the COM‑B model of behaviour change, enabling us to understand a user's Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation—the three essential components for sustainable behavioural change.
Do users have the knowledge and skills required?
Does their environment make it easy (or even possible) to do it?
Do they want to do it, and do they see the value in doing it?
Users consistently adopt secure cybersecurity practices.
The psychological and physical ability to engage in secure behaviour. Includes knowledge, skills, and understanding of security protocols.
External factors that make secure behaviour possible. Includes organisational policies, tools, and environmental cues that support security practices.
Brain processes that energise and direct behaviour. Includes both reflective (planned) and automatic (habitual) motivation for security practices.
Our comprehensive platform combines five specialised engines to address the full spectrum of human cybersecurity risk.
Transforms internal security policies into actionable guidance and training resources
Multi-layered training across three streams with real-time correction and gamified learning
Transforms behavioural data into targeted interventions using COM‑B model
Dedicated phishing‑resilience module with 800+ templates and gamified challenges
Digital footprint analysis with real‑time enforcement and dark web monitoring
Transforms internal security policies into actionable guidance with 120+ customisable templates. Centralised Policy Hub with real-time tracking and audit‑ready evidence.
ROI: Automates manual processes, reduces administrative overhead by 60%, ensures complete accountability.
Multi-layered training across Baseline, CyberSkills, and Policy Training streams with real-time correction and gamified learning.
ROI: Reduces repeat violations by 67%, cuts training costs by 45%, meets mandatory compliance requirements.
Transforms behavioural data into targeted interventions using COM‑B model. Includes Behaviour Engine with 10 Direct Interventions.
ROI: Moves from "training delivered" to "risk reduced," prevents incidents before escalation.
Dedicated phishing‑resilience module with 800+ templates, Live Template Suggestions, and gamified Phish Challenge.
ROI: Reduces successful phishing attacks by 85%, meets PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001 requirements.
Digital footprint analysis with Exposure Scan, Data Guard (real‑time enforcement), and Dark Web Search for leaked credentials.
ROI: Identifies Shadow IT risks, prevents browser‑based data leakage, provides early credential breach detection.
Privci delivers measurable financial returns through reduced incidents, lower training costs, and improved operational efficiency.

Privci aligns with established cybersecurity frameworks and regulations, ensuring comprehensive coverage of human‑factor security considerations.
Privci supports the human‑centric elements of the NIST CSF across the core functions:
Privci supports the human‑factor requirements within Annex A, particularly:
Privci directly supports the human‑centric controls within CIS:
Because real security starts with people. Privci blends behavioural science with intelligent automation to create a workforce that makes safer decisions every day — reducing incidents, strengthening compliance, and building a culture where secure behaviour becomes second nature.
