VS
PROOFPOINT
CAPABILITIES COMPARISON
Adaptive, fair simulations that build confidence with instant coaching tied to real behavior. Designed to help people improve, not feel punished. Every action drives each user’s Personal Risk Score.
Strong for attack realism, but focused on identifying VAPs and high-risk clickers over guiding improvement. Employees learn what they failed, not how their behavior strengthens security.
Modern, concise, scenario-based content that connects learning to behavior. Easy to customize for teams, roles, and culture goals. Built to teach people how to think, vs memorizing.
A lot of content, often generic and compliance-oriented. Customers reported feeling overwhelmed by amount of courses, with limited depth in driving behavior change.
Simple, seamless integrations with M365, Google, Slack, Okta and more, built to automate behavior reinforcement and save admin time. One consistent platform, no juggling consoles.
Powerful SOC-grade automation but complex to integrate, often requiring multiple dashboards and careful configuration. Great for threat cleanup, not as strong for user learning or ease of use.
PROOFPOINT
Phishing Simulations
Variety of Content
Metrics on Simulations & Real Emails Reported
Clear dashboards show reporting accuracy, repeat behavior, remediation rates, and cultural improvement. Real reported emails update scores instantly. Leaders see progress, not just activity.
Can show who attackers target and how messages move through defenses. Less visibility into how user behavior is actually improving over time based on efforts.
Personal Risk Score
Employee-visible, behavior-based score that reveals what drives risk and motivates safer actions.
Employees see a training/test-based score, while deeper risk scoring is admin-only and labels users like VAPs.
Cybersecurity Culture Score
Shows how behaviors impact risk and a roadmap of what to do next to strengthen security culture.
Culture assessments capture user beliefs and perceptions but are one-off snapshots that don’t show continuous behavioral measurement.
Feedback on Real Phish
Beauceron analyzes real emails, gives clear guidance, and turns every report into progress with updated risk and culture scores.
While CLEAR does provide an automated response to employees, it does not have the ability to send customized responses.
Integrations & Automated Remediation
Why people are choosing Beauceron over Proofpoint.
FAIR, ADAPTABLE, AND SUSTAINABLE
Proofpoint focuses on attack exposure, vulnerability, and who’s targeted most. Beauceron focuses on how the whole workforce is changing. The Security Culture Score shows leaders measurable improvement in behavior, attitudes, and resilience, not just how many threats were blocked.
INSTANT FEEDBACK THAT BUILDS TRUST
Proofpoint automates threat response with TRAP, CLEAR, and PhishAlarm, great for SOC efficiency, but employees rarely get meaningful coaching after reporting something. Beauceron replies to reported phishing emails instantly in plain language, confirming what the user did right, explaining the threat, and reinforcing the behavior you want more of.
ENGAGEMENT OVER OBSCURITY
Proofpoint gives employees a training-driven risk score, but their true people-risk models (VAPs, attack exposure, privilege risk) stay admin-only. Beauceron goes further by giving every employee a Personal Risk Score based on real behavior like reporting accuracy, actions on real emails or learning moments.
Company Overview & Positioning
BEAUCERON OVERVIEW
Beauceron isn’t “just another awareness tool.” It’s built to measure, change, and prove human risk reduction.
What makes it different: The Beauceron Security platform uniquely measures Security Culture with the Security Culture Score and Personal Risk Score, providing real-time insight into both organizational maturity and individual behavior. Every employee can see their own progress, making security personal and motivating.
If you want measurable culture change instead of recycled content and static dashboards, Beauceron is the only platform that turns human risk into something you can track, improve, and prove.
PROOFPOINT OVERVIEW
Proofpoint is a large enterprise security company that describes its approach as human-centered; however, its Awareness Training focuses heavily on labeling and ranking individuals instead of helping everyone understand how they influence risk.
What makes it different: Their program teaches users what happened after the fact, but doesn’t guide them on how to change their behavior or see their own progress.
If you want people to improve, not just be classified, Beauceron is the better choice.
