Understand security awareness training before you buy it
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
What is security awareness training?
Courses that teach staff to spot and report attacks, tested with safe simulated phishing.
An annual compliance video vs Fortra Security Awareness Training — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | An annual compliance video | Fortra Security Awareness Training |
|---|---|---|
| Training rhythm | One annual compliance video | Ongoing courses, games and quizzes |
| Phishing tests | An occasional homemade test email | 300+ templates and custom landing pages |
| After a click | A warning email nobody reads | A just-in-time nanovideo, straight away |
| Languages | English only, or costly translation | 40 languages, chosen per user |
| Reporting | Completion lists in spreadsheets | Dashboards by department, plus Power BI |
| What it is NOT | — | A mail filter, or SMS and voice simulation |
The cheapest test is one baseline simulation on a single department: it shows your real click rate before you buy a year of training.
The four pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
Learning platform
A hosted learning platform runs courses as SCORM 1.2 packages, assigns them by attribute or filter, and sends automated invitations, reminders and completion notices.
Simulator
Customised phishing emails and landing pages, from the 300-plus template library or built from scratch in HTML and CSS, test staff with lures that look real.
Identity
Users sync from Azure, Okta, OneLogin or Active Directory and sign in with SSO; admins can use MFA, and outside partners can keep a password login beside SSO.
Reporting
Dashboards filter by department or location, Outlook and Gmail buttons let staff report suspect mail, and results can flow on to Power BI for board-level reporting.
Users sync in from your directory, simulations leave from Fortra’s IPs, courses run in its SCORM LMS, and results flow to dashboards — the hosting region is unpublished.
Nine capabilities. Train, simulate, measure.
Fortra Security Awareness Training tests staff with safe phishing, teaches at the moment they click and tracks every team — in 40 languages.
Courses by drag and drop
Assemble courses from a large library of awareness, privacy and compliance topics, or from your own material, by select and drag.
From passwords to AI risk
Topics run from cyber-threat basics, email safety and MFA to data privacy, remote work, travel and the risks of AI tools.
Games and quizzes
Cyber Games and point-scoring modules reinforce the basics, and pre- or post-course quizzes draw on a large question bank.
300+ phishing templates
Over 300 standard templates as of October 2023, more each quarter, from mailbox-full warnings to gift-card and referral lures.
Scenarios you write
Edit message text, landing pages and other scenario elements, or build a template from scratch with basic HTML and CSS skills.
A lesson at the moment of failure
Anyone who clicks a simulated phish gets a just-in-time nanovideo on what they missed and how to spot the next one.
Progress by team and place
Pre-built widgets track completion, scores and time spent, filtered by department, country or location as results come in.
Results against peers
Fortra’s Phishing Simulation Benchmark Report supplies outside data to set your own campaign results against.
Results in your BI stack
A Power BI integration carries training and simulation results into the dashboards your leadership already reads each month.

Here’s what genuinely sets it apart — and exactly where it stops.
Forty languages without forty separate courses
Indian workforces rarely train in a single language. Fortra offers its phishing templates and awareness courses in 40 languages and routes each person to their own automatically, so one campaign covers a multilingual staff. Fortra does not publish which Indian languages are among the 40, so test Hindi and your regional languages in the pilot.
A lesson at the moment someone clicks
Annual training is forgotten by the time a real lure arrives. Fortra’s simulator sends realistic emails from a library of 300-plus templates, and anyone who clicks gets a just-in-time nanovideo straight away. Dashboards then show who has completed, failed or skipped training by department and location, and reminders chase them automatically.
SCORM, SSO and a managed option
The platform is a SCORM-compliant LMS, and Fortra can hand over SCORM 1.2 or 2004 files if your HR system must host the courses. Users sync from Azure, Okta, OneLogin or Active Directory, SAP SuccessFactors is supported, and Managed SAT Services lets a dedicated Fortra team run the whole programme for you.
Where it stops
Pricing is quoted per deal and no meter is published. Simulations are email-based: SMS, voice and QR-code tests are not documented. Fortra gives no hosting region and supports administrators rather than end users, and the Gartner placements often quoted for this product come from 2016 and 2018 reports that no longer exist.
The numbers behind the platform
What your Fortra Security Awareness Training rollout looks like
Map users and languages
Export staff by department, location and preferred language, and decide whether training lives in Fortra’s LMS or your own.
Connect identity and mail
Sync users from Azure, Okta, OneLogin or Active Directory, allowlist the simulation mail in your filter, and add the report button.
Run a baseline test
Send an unannounced simulation from the template library to everyone, then switch on nanovideo training for those who click.
Launch the course path
Assign courses by role and location, set automated reminders, and review completion dashboards with each department head.
Retest and decide
Rerun a comparable simulation, compare click and report rates with the baseline, then settle the quote in INR with GST.
The review scoreboard
Modelled on Gartner Peer Insights structure. *Counts and breakdowns are illustrative pending verified review collection.
Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“Our plants and offices speak different languages, and one campaign now reaches each person in theirs without cloning courses.”
“The nanovideo after a click is short enough that people watch it. Repeat clickers fell noticeably over two quarters.”
“HR wanted the courses inside its own LMS. Fortra supplied SCORM files, so completions sit where the auditors look for them.”
“Okta sync enrols joiners on day one, and reports by location let our regional managers chase their own stores.”
“Simulations are email-only for us, and no hosting region was published. Our privacy officer made the region a contract clause.”
“We let Fortra’s managed team run year one. Good campaigns, but the quote took a while because the price depends on services.”
Where everyone sits — the grids
Analyst firms bury this view behind paywalls, and review-site grids score satisfaction, not fit for your estate. So here’s TechBag’s synthesis of the security awareness training market — tap any vendor to see why it sits where it does.
TechBag Security Awareness Grid
Execution strength vs product vision — the classic market map, minus the paywall.
Quote-only; 40 languages; alone or in email bundles.
Delivery Flexibility × Simulation Range
The grid nobody publishes — how flexibly a programme can be delivered (managed service, SCORM, SSO and sync) vs how wide its simulations reach: channels, template depth and real-threat lures.
Managed option, SCORM out, wide SSO; email-only simulation.
Positions are TechBag’s illustrative synthesis of public review-platform data and vendor documentation — not a reproduction of any analyst graphic. Verify before relying on it.

- ✓Training data must stay in India — Sophos runs a Phish Threat data centre in its India region
Do not expect…
- ✓Detection: training changes behaviour, but it blocks no mail
- ✓A price list, a published hosting region or direct help for your end users
- ✓A current Gartner Magic Quadrant placement — that report was discontinued
Fortra Security Awareness Training is one of 36 email security products TechBag carries. The Email Security guide narrows them to a shortlist and shows the reasoning. →
What does running awareness by hand cost you?
Drag the sliders (employees in scope; IT-hour cost). The estimate assumes security staff spend 0.5 hours per employee a year building tests, chasing completions and compiling reports by hand, and that templates, automated reminders and dashboards remove 70% of it. Both numbers are assumptions. Illustrative.
Loaded cost = salary + overheads per productive hour. Illustrative only — your TechBag quote models your actual environment and modules.
Three ways to consume it
Quote only. Fortra’s FAQ says the cost of its training platform varies with the services chosen and asks for a tailored quote; it publishes no list price, no INR list and no licence meter. The product is also sold as Human Risk Management inside the Core email bundle and the Training & Response bundle.

The 8 questions to ask every vendor
Take this into your next vendor call — including ours.
Which Indian languages are among Fortra’s 40, for courses and for phishing templates, and are any machine-translated?
Is the licence counted per user, per active learner or per service bundle, and do contractors and interns count?
Where are employee names, scores and click results stored? They are personal data under the DPDP Act.
Simulations are documented for email only; do you offer SMS, voice or QR-code tests, and at what extra cost?
If our HR LMS hosts the courses, which titles come as SCORM 1.2 or 2004 files, and how are updates delivered?
What does Managed SAT Services include each month: campaign design, reporting, content changes, review calls?
Is it cheaper inside the Core or Training & Response bundle than alone, and what if we later drop the email filter?
Fortra supports administrators, not end users; who answers staff questions about courses and simulated emails?
