About SecGuard

Building a safer digital workplace, one organization at a time

🛡 Why We Built This

Our mission is to prevent data breaches through continuous security awareness

In 2023, 90% of successful data breaches started with a phishing email. Despite billions spent on technical security solutions, the human element remains the weakest link in cybersecurity.

We founded SecGuard because traditional security awareness training wasn't working. Annual compliance videos and quarterly workshops were being forgotten within days. Employees needed real-world practice in a safe environment.

Our AI-powered platform transforms your employees from your biggest vulnerability into your strongest defense. By continuously training them with realistic simulations and instant feedback, we help organizations build a true security culture.

Security isn't just about technology — it's about people. And we're here to empower them.

🤖 How AI Generates Attacks

Sophisticated simulation technology based on real threat intelligence

🌐

Public Threat Intelligence

Our AI analyzes millions of real phishing campaigns from public threat feeds, security forums, and breach databases to understand current attack patterns.

Zero-Day Patterns

Machine learning models detect emerging tactics before they become widespread, keeping your simulations ahead of actual attackers.

🎯

Behavioral Targeting

Personalization engine adapts emails based on job roles, departments, tools your company uses, and individual user behavior patterns.

🔬

Linguistic Analysis

NLP models replicate authentic communication styles, urgency patterns, and psychological manipulation techniques used by real attackers.

📊

Continuous Learning

System learns from your employees' responses to create increasingly realistic and challenging simulations over time.

🛡️

Ethical Boundaries

All simulations are designed to educate, not traumatize. No real malware, no actual data theft, and clear educational context after each test.

🔄 Frequently Asked Questions

How often are phishing simulation emails sent?
The frequency depends on your plan and settings. Starter plans receive monthly simulations, Growth plans get weekly simulations, and Enterprise customers can customize the schedule. You have full control over frequency, timing (avoid sending during critical business periods), and which departments receive simulations.
Can we upload our employee list or does it integrate automatically?
Both! You can manually upload employee lists via CSV, or integrate automatically with popular HR systems (BambooHR, Workday, ADP), identity providers (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace), or via our REST API. Enterprise plans include custom integration support.
Can we customize the phishing email templates?
Yes! Growth and Enterprise plans include custom template creation. You can design emails specific to your industry, use your company branding, or create scenarios relevant to your business context. Our AI can also generate custom templates based on your requirements. Starter plans have access to 50+ pre-built templates.
Do users know it's a test, or is it a complete surprise?
Simulations are surprise tests by default — this creates authentic learning moments. However, you can enable an optional notification banner at the top of your email system letting users know simulations may be sent (without revealing which emails are tests). After clicking a simulation, users immediately see it was a test and receive training. We recommend surprise testing for maximum effectiveness.
What happens if an employee fails multiple simulations?
Failing a simulation isn't punitive — it's a learning opportunity. Users who click receive immediate training tailored to their mistake. Repeat offenders are automatically enrolled in additional training modules and may receive more frequent, easier simulations to build their skills. Managers receive reports showing high-risk users who may need extra attention, but the focus is always on education, not punishment.
Can employees opt out of simulations?
Administrators control who receives simulations. While individual employees can't opt out (as this would defeat the security purpose), admins can exempt specific users or roles. Common exemptions include executives during board meetings, security teams who already know the tricks, or individuals on extended leave.
How long does it take to set up SecGuard?
Most organizations are up and running in under 30 minutes. Setup involves: (1) Connecting your email system (5-10 min), (2) Uploading or syncing employee list (2-5 min), (3) Configuring campaign settings (10-15 min). Enterprise deployments with custom integrations may take 1-2 weeks with our onboarding team.
What if a simulation causes panic or disruption?
Our simulations are designed to be realistic but not disruptive. They never threaten job loss, legal action, or create genuine fear. All simulations include immediate clarification upon interaction. We also provide communication templates you can send organization-wide explaining the program. In the rare case of concern, you can pause all simulations instantly from your dashboard.
Does SecGuard work with mobile devices?
Yes! Simulations are delivered via email and work on all devices. Training modules are fully mobile-responsive, so employees can complete lessons on smartphones, tablets, or desktops. We also include SMS phishing (smishing) simulations in Enterprise plans.
Can we test our security team or IT department?
Absolutely! Many customers run harder, more sophisticated simulations against their security teams to keep them sharp. You can create separate campaigns with advanced difficulty levels specifically for technical staff. Some organizations make it a game to see who can identify the most obscure phishing indicators.
What languages are supported?
Our platform interface supports English, Spanish, French, German, and Hindi. AI-generated simulations can be created in 25+ languages. Enterprise plans include professional translation services for training content and custom support for additional languages.
How do you prevent your simulations from being blocked by spam filters?
We use sophisticated delivery infrastructure with excellent sender reputation. We also integrate with your email security gateway (Mimecast, Proofpoint, etc.) to whitelist simulation emails. This ensures simulations reach inboxes while still testing user behavior. Detailed setup guides are provided for all major email security platforms.
