Getting started

What is Zhivia?

Zhivia (Practical Cybersecurity Awareness Training) is a mobile-first training platform that delivers the standard 9-hour security curriculum in 3–5 minute episodes, includes a Custom Phishing Scenario Quiz Builder, and produces audit-ready compliance records for small businesses, nonprofits, and teams of any size.

How long does the training take?

The core curriculum is chunked into 3–5 minute episodes you complete at your own pace. Most learners finish comfortably over a couple of weeks, and progress syncs across devices so they can start on a phone and finish on a desktop.

Can we add our own content?

Corporate Premium plans include a custom module builder and a Custom Phishing Scenario Quiz Builder, so admins can turn company-specific lessons and real threat examples into scenario-based quizzes blended into the standard curriculum.

Compliance

Are the compliance exports really audit-ready?

Yes. Every completion is timestamped and verifiable, and admins can export CSV and PDF reports showing who completed what and when. The reports are built to satisfy cyber-insurance and compliance audit requests.

How does automated retraining work?

Admins set a retraining interval per organisation or department. Zhivia then sends reminders at 14, 7, and 1 day before each deadline over email (and SMS where enabled), so nobody has to chase completion manually.

Billing

How is PCAT priced?

Corporate plans are billed per seat, with Standard adding the compliance engine and Premium adding custom content tools. Built to fit SMB and nonprofit budgets, not enterprise procurement. Individuals can also buy a one-time $35 seat for lifetime curriculum access. See the pricing page for full details.

Do you offer refunds?

Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable. If something is not working as expected, contact support and we will make it right.

Security

How is our data protected?

Each organisation’s data is isolated at the database layer with row-level security, video is delivered through short-lived presigned URLs, and all traffic is encrypted in transit. Your completion data is yours and can be exported at any time.
