The Market Opportunity
Your Clients Have a Gap They Probably Don’t Know About
Most SMBs have invested in firewalls, endpoint protection, and email filtering. Very few have a structured program to address the attack vector that accounts for the majority of breaches: their own employees.
Phishing and social engineering are not edge cases. They are the primary entry point for ransomware, credential theft, and business email compromise. The SMB market is disproportionately exposed, and the conversation about security awareness is one most of your clients are not having. That is the opportunity.
Security policy tells employees what to do, but it does not change behavior. Without a training program, employees make judgment calls daily with no context for real threats, no phishing simulations, and no visibility into who the highest-risk people on their team are.

Why Partners Are Adding SAT Now
Compliance pressure is real.
Cyber insurance carriers and frameworks including HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 increasingly require documented employee training. Many SMBs are already out of step.
Recurring revenue potential.
Per-seat subscription pricing converts security awareness into a managed service with predictable monthly billing.
Findings open doors.
Phishing simulation results surface compliance and security gaps. That gives your team a clear next step with the client.
Most SMBs have nothing in place.
No phishing simulations, no training program, no visibility into high-risk employees. You are starting the conversation from zero.
The Platform
What Hook Security Does
Hook Security is a cloud-based security awareness and training platform that runs on autopilot. Deploy it for a client once, and the platform handles scheduling, assignments, reminders, and reporting without ongoing management overhead on your end or theirs.
Psychology-Based Training (PsySec)
When an employee clicks a phishing simulation, a short training video launches immediately, at the exact moment they are most receptive to it. The approach uses humor and positive reinforcement instead of fear-based messaging.
Automated Phishing Simulations
Choose from over 1,000 templates, schedule campaigns in advance, and automatically enroll employees who click into targeted remediation training. No manual follow-up required after initial setup.
Hookmail Inbox Add-In
A Microsoft and Google add-in that lets employees flag and report suspicious emails directly from their inbox. Turns staff into an active reporting layer rather than a passive target.
Compliance-Ready Reporting
Pre-built compliance tracks for HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, and ISO 27001 with auto-generated reports for audits, insurance carriers, and regulators. Gives clients actionable documentation.
Partner Fit
Why Hook Security Works for Your Clients and Your Practice
Most SAT platforms assume someone on the other end has time to manage them. Your SMB clients usually do not. Hook Security is built around that reality.
Built for the SMB Market
Channel-first pricing, a multi-tenant partner portal, and a deployment model designed for organizations without a dedicated security team. You manage multiple clients from one place.
Deploys in Under Two Hours
Clients are live and campaigns are running faster than any comparable platform. Low lift at onboarding means lower cost to serve and faster time to value for the client.
Training Employees Actually Finish
Bite-sized, engaging content drives completion rates and measurable behavior change. That is what your clients will point to when their insurer or auditor asks for documentation.
One Platform, Multiple Compliance Frameworks
Covers HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, and ISO 27001. One deployment handles multiple compliance obligations without adding tools or complexity.
