Case Study: Limmattal Hospital achieves improved staff cyber awareness and reduced phishing risk with IronCircle

Hospital deploys awareness training to protect employees from cyberattacks

Limmattal Hospital, a major Swiss regional hospital serving about 80,000 patients annually with roughly 1,480 staff, faced rising cyber threats and the need to protect patient data while avoiding additional strain on staff already stressed by COVID-19. To raise phishing awareness in a privacy-conscious, customizable way, the hospital selected IronCircle’s Security Awareness Training solution to deliver targeted training and simulated attack campaigns.

IronCircle provided a data-protection–compliant platform and a service bundle that enabled rapid deployment of customized phishing simulations, training templates, and built-in reporting. The solution quickly identified employee vigilance gaps, accelerated staff adoption and learning, and led to measurably improved awareness and a significantly lower risk of an actual security incident—all at low cost and with minimal internal effort.
