We like to look at our Completion records and weigh them against employees failing the fake attacks we send out then provide additional training based on the percentage or send out refresher courses for the individuals who failed.

For metrics, the dashboard is pretty awesome to start with. You can see your risk score, user prone percentage, and many other factors. These are great to see over time. We have dropped significantly and are below industry standard in most areas. Reporting is great too; it allows you to dump all that data to files for execs.

The most important metric is who has completed the training, who hasn't started it yet, how many days they have left to complete it and the individual training results along with the overall organisation training results with the areas that they scored high in and the weak areas. The other element is who opened the phishing email, who clicked on it, who opened the qr code and who completed the form.

The reporting section is Knowbe4's biggest strength. It categorizes users based on risk level and how likely they are to click on suspicious links which allows you to mitigate the danger to the organization by providing more training to the user so they can learn from the simulation and hopefully not the real thing.

As explained previously we make use of the comparison with industry peers as well as looking at specific metrics within campaigns such as who opened the emails, who reported the emails, who clicked on the links or opened attachments. Getting all of this telemetry gives us great visibility into our phishing propensity and helps us target future campains

We rely on a few common metrics. Generally, we look at training completion rates, we keep a close eye on new hire time to train, and we monitor risk scores at the individual and team levels. Last, but not least, we keep close watch on the Phish Prone Percentage, again at the individual and team levels.

InfoSec training reports are very important to pass the compliance audit and performing phishing simulation test is also very critical part for passing external audits. We have also gone through ISO certification and multiple external audits happened and with the help of the KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training tool we have passed the certification without any problem.

The most important statistics for our organisation were the percentage of training completion as well as the number of users that had clicked on a synthetic phishing email. Both were reported up to the board for visibility. There was additional reporting capability, however we found it best to keep it simple

The metrics and report are important because it gives us a general idea of who and/or whom is not paying attention and who is actually carefully examining their emails. So far our end users are passing the test and some are almost there.

The most important metrics and reporting are users enrolled in training, users who have completed training, successful report phish button deployments, number of phishing reports (we have plentiful opportunities), and, of course, statistics around the anti-phishing simulations.
