Consulting & FIDES Academy

Compliance consulting and e-learning for cybersecurity, AML and GDPR

FIDES Rating helps organizations assess and strengthen their regulatory compliance posture across cybersecurity, data protection and anti-money laundering (AML) obligations through an AI-powered SaaS platform. Software, however, is only part of the answer. Frameworks such as DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001, GDPR, MiCA and the CRA require judgment, sector expertise and a workforce that applies the right behaviors day to day. That is why the platform comes with two dedicated service lines.

Compliance Consulting

Senior cybersecurity, AML and GDPR expertise when you need it

Regulatory compliance is rarely a pure technology problem. Interpreting a new obligation, scoping a gap analysis, preparing for a supervisory audit or building a remediation roadmap all require experienced judgment, not just software output.

FIDES Rating gives you access to a pool of highly experienced consulting experts, drawn from backgrounds in financial services, cybersecurity, risk management and regulatory practice. Our consultants work alongside your teams to interpret findings from the FIDES Rating platform, prioritize remediation actions and prepare the evidence your auditors and regulators expect to see.

FIDES Academy

E-learning on cybersecurity, regulation and financial crime prevention

Sustainable compliance depends on day-to-day human behavior. Policies, controls and reporting matter, but operational resilience is ultimately built through consistent practices across the whole workforce.

FIDES Academy is FIDES Rating's e-learning platform for employees in critical and regulated sectors. Its content is designed and delivered with our trusted training partner MAET. The approach is pragmatic: short, engaging modules, clear takeaways and content that helps teams do the right thing under pressure, whether they work on the front line, in operations or in support functions.

Cybersecurity standards & regulation

From security hygiene to the expectations of DORA, NIS2 and ISO/IEC 27001: the reflexes that prevent incidents and the practices that auditors and supervisors look for.

Prevention of financial crime

Practical detection cues, verification routines and escalation processes for organizations exposed to payment fraud, identity abuse, document fraud or supplier fraud.

The FIDES Academy catalog is built for organizations that need to scale awareness quickly, demonstrate measurable progress and sustain a strong security culture over time. It is continuously updated and can be aligned with your internal policies, sector constraints and regulatory priorities.

Training tracks

Cybersecurity awareness

All employees

A structured foundation covering key threats and the reflexes that prevent incidents: phishing and social engineering, password and access hygiene, safe use of email and collaboration tools, device security, secure remote work, data handling and incident reporting. The objective is to reduce exposure through simple, repeatable habits.

Operational resilience & incident readiness

Resilience

Training that reinforces crisis reflexes and escalation practices. Employees learn to detect weak signals, report incidents properly, preserve evidence and follow operational procedures during disruptions, which is particularly relevant for organizations strengthening resilience requirements and audit readiness.

Fraud & financial crime awareness

Financial crime

For organizations exposed to payment fraud, identity abuse, document fraud or supplier fraud, this track equips employees with practical detection cues, verification routines and escalation processes, supporting stronger controls and fewer losses.

Regulatory compliance & cybersecurity standards

DORA · NIS2 · ISO/IEC 27001

In regulated environments, awareness must translate into demonstrable compliance. This track bridges operational behaviors with regulatory expectations: digital operational resilience, incident reporting culture, third-party risk awareness, security governance principles and "security by design" fundamentals, showing how everyday actions contribute to meeting DORA, NIS2 and ISO/IEC 27001 requirements.

Format

100% e-learning, deployable at scale across sites and remote workers

Audience

Non-specialists: corporate functions, operational teams and managers

Evidence
