Welcome to BongoShield¶
BongoShield is an Identity-Aware Security Awareness Platform built for East African organizations — banks, telecoms, government institutions, and growing businesses. It turns security awareness from a once-a-year training event into a quick daily habit that fits into how people already work.
The big idea: awareness as a daily habit¶
Most security training happens once a year, everyone forgets it by lunchtime, and attackers keep winning. BongoShield takes a different approach.
Each work day, every employee answers one short security question before they start. It takes seconds. A correct answer earns points. A wrong answer still shows you the right answer and an explanation — then lets you through. It is learning, never punishment.
Because it happens a little bit every day, awareness actually sticks. People learn to spot phishing, weak passwords, and social-engineering tricks through steady, bite-sized practice instead of a marathon slideshow once a year.
What BongoShield does¶
-
:material-shield-lock-outline: The daily security question
One short question at the start of each work day. Points, streaks, a leaderboard, and a personal risk score keep it engaging.
-
:material-email-alert-outline: Phishing awareness campaigns
Admins can run safe, simulated-phishing exercises so employees get real practice spotting suspicious emails — in a friendly, no-blame way.
-
:material-school-outline: Training that fits real life
A library of short videos, documents, policies to acknowledge, quizzes, and full courses. Employees can enrol themselves; admins can assign what matters.
-
:material-chart-box-outline: Dashboards for admins
See engagement, training progress, and risk trends across departments — and export polished PDF reports for leadership.
Who it's for¶
- Banks and financial institutions that need continuous, auditable staff awareness.
- Telecoms and large enterprises with thousands of employees to keep sharp.
- Government institutions and ministries, including teams that run their own email systems.
- Growing businesses (SMEs) that want serious security awareness without a serious training department.
Cloud or on-premise¶
BongoShield runs the way your organization needs it to:
- Cloud (SaaS): sign up and go — BongoShield hosts everything for you.
- On-premise / dedicated: installed inside your own infrastructure, which is a common fit for banks, telecoms, and government.
The experience for employees and admins is the same either way.
