The SEAT Practitioner Program
The SEAT assessment gives you a clear picture of where your security awareness program stands today. The cohort helps you build a strategy to move it forward. And when you're ready to evaluate tools, you'll know exactly what you need before you open a single analyst report.
What You Walk Away With
The SEAT assessment maps your maturity across four pillars: Strategy, Engagement, Assessment, and Training. You get a real read on where your program is strong and where the gaps are, not a vendor's version of what you should be doing.
Inside the cohort, you work with peers and a practitioner-guide to turn your assessment results into a maturity roadmap. Prioritized. Sequenced. Grounded in what actually moves programs forward, not what looks good in a slide deck.
When your strategy calls for a tool, you should know what's actually out there. We map your gaps to vendor capabilities so you're evaluating from a position of clarity, not sitting through 12 demos hoping something sticks.
Most practitioners start with a vendor report. That's step three. Step one is understanding where your program actually stands. Step two is building a strategy around it.
How It Works
Each monthly cohort is a small group of practitioners working through the same process together. You get assessment, coaching, and a strategy roadmap in four weeks.
Up to 10 practitioners per group. You'll walk through the SEAT assessment together and get your maturity score across all four pillars.
Individual sessions to dig into your results, prioritize your gaps, and start building a strategy roadmap tailored to your program.
You walk away with a prioritized plan for your program. What to fix first, what to build next, and how to make the case internally.

A Different Sequence
Read a Forrester Wave or Gartner MQ. Sit through demos from the "leaders" quadrant. Build a spreadsheet. Pick a vendor. Six months later, realize the tool doesn't match the program you actually have. The report told you who to buy from, but never asked whether you were ready to buy at all.
Understand your program. Build a strategy. Then, when you're ready to evaluate tools, you'll know exactly what to look for. That's the work analyst reports skip. And when you do need vendor guidance, it comes from someone who's sat on both sides of the table, with no sponsorship revenue and no pay-to-play rankings.
Why This Works
The SEAT framework was built from years of running and evaluating security awareness programs. The vendor guidance layer comes from sitting on both sides of the table. No six-figure subscription required.
SEAT is used by practitioners to assess their own program maturity across Strategy, Engagement, Assessment, and Training. It's the starting point for everything.
Years running awareness programs at scale. Evaluated and deployed KnowBe4, Proofpoint, Cofense, and others. Knows what the procurement process actually looks like.
Currently embedded with multiple HRM vendors seeing how products work from the inside. Understands roadmaps, limitations, and where marketing gets ahead of the product.
