Inside Infosec IQ: Why clients choose Infosec for their security awareness training

In today's threat environment, your organization's strongest security opportunity lies not just in technology, but in empowering your people. According to Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report, 60% of breaches involve human error, and the average data breach now costs a record $4.88 million, according to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report.  

Effective security awareness training has never been more critical for organizations of all sizes. Yet for resource-constrained teams already stretched thin by staffing shortages, implementing a successful program can seem more than challenging.  

That's where Infosec IQ delivers impact — turning your team into security champions while freeing your staff to focus on strategic priorities. 

When every minute counts, you need security awareness training that works without creating burdens on your already stretched staff. Yet many organizations struggle with low engagement, lackluster results and uncertainty about whether their training is actually reducing risk. 

In this guide, you'll discover how Infosec IQ helps organizations of all sizes: 

• Strengthen their cybersecurity posture through engaging, personalized learning
• Drive measurable behavior change with features designed for maximum impact
• Simplify program administration with time-saving automation

The Infosec difference 

Security awareness training only works when employees engage with it — yet many programs fail to capture attention or drive meaningful behavior change. 

Infosec solves this problem, providing organizations with an easy-to-administer, customizable and results-driven platform with award-winning content that employees want to complete. 

"Infosec IQ is easy to use and administer, and they are constantly adding to the content library to keep it topical and meet the needs of different learners, said Gary Scott, a security analyst for the State of Kansas. “The State has seen a reduction in phishing success every year we have used the product. We are well below the national average now."

Success story: Content that creates culture change 

Milwaukee County transformed its security culture with Infosec IQ, turning low engagement into active participation. Employees now regularly report suspicious emails and share security best practices with friends and family, extending the program's impact beyond the workplace. 

"What started off as an idea is now running full force,” said Jason Scherer of Milwaukee County. “It went from nothing to full acceptance and appreciation for what we are trying to do."

Hospital Central Services, Inc. & Affiliates (HCSC) is a healthcare services provider that faced serious phishing vulnerability. Its susceptibility rate was 54%. After implementing Infosec IQ, it reduced this to just 10% within a year. 

Key to their success was the platform's automation capabilities, which delivered immediate education to employees who made mistakes without requiring manual intervention from the security team.

Infosec IQ reporting and risk scoring provide clear visibility into human risk across your organization, helping you identify vulnerable areas, target interventions and demonstrate improvement over time. 

Favorite features 

• Automated campaigns: Create automatic training campaigns that run on schedule without ongoing maintenance. 
• Comprehensive dashboards: Track program effectiveness with reporting dashboards that monitor training completion, phishing susceptibility, and security scores. 
• Targeted interventions: Use learner analytics to assign personalized training to employees who need it most, whether they've failed to complete courses, scored poorly on assessments, or fallen below your risk tolerance threshold. 
• Simplified identity management: Automate identity management and user provisioning to keep your learner list current with minimal effort. 
• Single sign-on: Enable SSO integration so employees can access training directly from their workspace without remembering additional logins. 
• LMS compatibility: Deliver training from your LMS to integrate security awareness with your existing learning infrastructure. 
• Adaptive campaigns: Adjust individual enrollment and due dates per learner based on when they join your organization, ensuring everyone receives timely training regardless of start date. 

Success story: Automation that delivers results 

After suffering four ransomware attacks in previous years, the Metropolitan School District (MSD) of Wayne Township implemented Infosec IQ and has experienced zero incidents since. The district leverages custom training campaigns and automated reporting to proactively educate employees about cybersecurity risks. 

"Before Infosec, we relied on emails and posters to teach security awareness,” said MSD’s Chief Technology Officer. “With Infosec, we now have real-time, adaptive training tailored to each employee's risk level."

"Infosec has made a world of difference, really across the board,” said Nick Just, VP of Commercial Strategic Development at TechGuard Security. “The partner support, the platform itself, the capabilities, the content — it was leaps and bounds better from what we were seeing with our [previous] partner. It's very user-friendly. The number of templates is almost endless."  

"Before we signed with Infosec, I spent about eight months evaluating 20 different platforms," said Damian Stalls, vCIO Director at Fluid Networks. "Each vendor had different advantages, but we selected Infosec IQ because of the overall feature set and how it's continually enhanced."
