Increase Your Skills GmbH (IYS) was a German-based company specializing in cybersecurity awareness training. It was founded in Leipzig, Germany, by Carolin Andree and Hannes Hartung. The company focused on providing a range of solutions, particularly for the public sector, and developed AI-driven phishing simulation technology.
In November 2023, IYS was acquired by MetaCompliance, a European cybersecurity and compliance firm. This acquisition was a strategic move for MetaCompliance to strengthen its presence in the German, Austrian, and Swiss (DACH) markets. Following the acquisition, the founders, Carolin Andree and Hannes Hartung, joined the MetaCompliance team to lead growth plans in the DACH region. Increase Your Skills GmbH was officially renamed MetaCompliance GmbH.
