1. A system for evaluating cybersecurity awareness of an organization, comprising:
an evaluation server comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing non-transitory machine-readable code to be executed by the processor;
at least one database storing a plurality of cybersecurity awareness evaluations, the database connected to the evaluation server;
a plurality of client devices connected to the evaluation server, each of said client devices comprising a processor, a memory and a display;
said machine-readable code of said evaluation server configured to implement one of said cybersecurity awareness evaluations from said at least one database comprising causing at least one of said plurality of client devices to display a sequence of cyber-security information to said user of said client device which prompt a user action comprising a response comprising a user selection of at least one of a cybersecurity offensive action and a cybersecurity defensive action in accordance with cybersecurity offensive and defensive actions made available to said user via said client device;
said machine-readable code configured to cause, when executed, said processor of said evaluation server to generate one or more scoring results for said user of the cybersecurity awareness evaluations based upon the user selections;
said machine-readable code configured to cause, when executed, said processor of said evaluation server to store said one or more scoring results for a plurality of users of said organization and generate, relative to a first group of said organization comprising a first two or more of said plurality of users, one or more first group scores based upon said one or more scoring results for said first two or more of said plurality of users, and generate, relative to a second group of said organization comprising a second two or more of said plurality of users, one or more second group scores based upon said one or more scoring results for said second two or more of said plurality of users; and
said machine-readable code configured to cause, when executed, said processor of said evaluation sever to generate an evaluation dashboard comprising at least one graphical user interface displaying a comparison of one or more of said first group scores to one or more of said second group scores.
