OneStep Group and Phriendly Phishing Announce Strategic Partnership
February 4, 2026
OneStep Group, a leading Australian people-focused cyber security and technology business, and Phriendly Phishing, A/NZ’s leading human-centred cyber security awareness and human risk management platform, today announced a strategic managed services partnership designed to help organisations transform human risk into cyber-resilient cultures.
Through this partnership, OneStep Group will partner with and resell Phriendly Phishing’s award-winning cyber security awareness training and human risk management platform to its extensive customer base. Together, the organisations will support businesses in strengthening their security posture by enabling employees to become a confident, capable first line of defence against cyber threats.
At the core of the collaboration is a shared belief that effective cyber security is driven by people, not fear. Phriendly Phishing’s ‘train, not trick’ approach delivers empathetic, engaging, and behaviour-driven training that focuses on building real-world skills, not catching people out. This model helps organisations move beyond checkbox compliance and embed security awareness into everyday behaviour.
As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, social engineering attacks remain one of the most common causes of data breaches. This partnership comes at a pivotal time for organisations seeking practical, scalable ways to reduce human cyber risk while empowering their workforce rather than overwhelming it.
“Cyber security isn’t just a technology problem — it’s a people problem, and it requires a human-centric, multi-layered approach,” said Karina Mansfield, Managing Director at Phriendly Phishing.
“Through our partnership with OneStep Group, cyber security shifts from compliance to culture, and from risk to resilience. Employees are empowered with the knowledge and confidence they need to become every organisation’s strongest line of defence. We’re delighted to be working with a like-minded organisation that truly understands the power of human-centred security.”
OneStep Group will leverage its strong enterprise presence and deep cyber security expertise to introduce Phriendly Phishing’s innovative platform to organisations looking to drive meaningful behavioural change across their teams.
“Phriendly Phishing offers a unique value proposition in the market, delivering a localised and customised approach to cyber security awareness that genuinely supports behavioural change and the development of a cyber-resilient culture,” said Kingsley McGarrigle, Executive General Manager at OneStep Group.
“We’re proud to offer this solution as part of our broader managed cyber services portfolio, helping organisations strengthen their security posture by investing in their most valuable security asset — their people.” Find out how our partnership can foster your cyber resilient cultures here.
