Increase the awareness of civil servants on digital security by playing a serious game!

Given the fact that the Municipality has access to all vital databases in our city, civil servants have to be aware of the possible impact of a data breach on the daily life of our citizens. A data breach affects people’s privacy and may even facilitate criminal activities like identity theft.

To raise awareness on data security among civil servants, the Municipality of The Hague launched a game through which all staff test their knowledge and increase their awareness on digital security in a more immersive way. The game can be played together in person or remotely from multiple computers. The game was first played in 2017 and will be repeated in 2019. RTH will contribute to raise a wide audience in city hall to play this game and can also share experiences with other organisations that also want to use this game to raise awareness about data security.
