Ragnar experienced first hand the challenges organizations faced when training employees on proper security measures. He saw employees doze off and completely lose interest during security awareness training lectures. This lead to Ragnar and Helga joining forces to find a better way to bring the security awareness message to the masses, knowing that there had to be a better way to make workplaces safer. In 2018 **[Eyrir Ventures](https://evm.is/)** decided to come on board and is to this day AwareGO’s largest single investor. - [Getting Started](https://help.awarego.com/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [Training Programs](https://help.awarego.com/training-programs?hsLang=en) - [Employees](https://help.awarego.com/employees?hsLang=en) - [Reporting](https://help.awarego.com/reporting?hsLang=en) - [Integrations](https://help.awarego.com/integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Slack](https://help.awarego.com/integrations?hsLang=en#slack) - [Active Directory](https://help.awarego.com/integrations?hsLang=en#active-directory) - [Google Suites](https://help.awarego.com/integrations?hsLang=en#google-suites) - [SSO](https://help.awarego.com/integrations?hsLang=en#sso) - [Account Management](https://help.awarego.com/account-management?hsLang=en) - [Embedded Player](https://help.awarego.com/embedded-player?hsLang=en) - [Copyright and Legal](https://help.awarego.com/copyright-and-legal?hsLang=en) - [Partners](https://help.awarego.com/partners?hsLang=en) - [Security](https://help.awarego.com/security?hsLang=en) - [Content](https://help.awarego.com/content?hsLang=en) - [Webhooks](https://help.awarego.com/webhooks?hsLang=en) - [Other](https://help.awarego.com/other?hsLang=en) - [Human Risk Assessment](https://help.awarego.com/human-risk-assessment?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.awarego.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo.png?width=113&height=22&name=Logo.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.awarego.com/) support@awarego.com Copyright © 2026, AwareGO
