Cybersecurity

Quantify your workforce’s actual security competency.

Phishing simulation completion rates tell you who clicked. They don’t tell you who understands why they shouldn’t have, who can identify a novel attack, or who will make the right call under pressure. QLM measures what simulations can’t.

The problem

KnowBe4 tells you click rates. It doesn’t tell you competency.

A 5% phishing click rate doesn’t mean your workforce is secure. It means they didn’t click this simulation. It tells you nothing about whether your SOC analyst can triage an actual incident, whether your developers understand secure coding, or whether your executives can recognize social engineering beyond email.

The security awareness industry has spent a decade optimizing for the wrong metric. Click rates are behavioral compliance. They are not competency measurement.

QLM measures what your people actually understand about security — across seven dimensions, with calibrated confidence intervals, continuously.

Click rates ≠ competency

A low phishing click rate creates a false sense of security.

Your workforce may have learned to hover over links. That doesn’t mean they understand network segmentation, recognize credential harvesting across channels, or can respond to a supply chain compromise.

Annual awareness training

30 minutes of video once per year is not a security program.

Compliance-driven awareness training checks a box. It does not produce measurable improvement in security competency. The threat landscape changes quarterly; annual training is a snapshot of yesterday’s risks.

No skill-level measurement

Your security team has no competency baseline.

You know which certifications your analysts hold. You don’t know whether they can actually triage a P1 incident, investigate lateral movement, or write detection logic. Certifications expire; competency drifts silently.

Cybersecurity measurement

Seven dimensions of security competency.

Not phishing awareness with a dashboard. A measurement engine that tells you whether your workforce — from executives to SOC analysts — actually understands security at the level their role demands.

THREAT IDENTIFICATION INCIDENT RESPONSE SECURITY ARCHITECTURE COMPLIANCE SOC OPS CLOUD IAM LEADERSHIP JUDGMENT
Threat identification
Beyond phishing — the full attack surface
Social engineering, supply chain compromise, insider threats, credential harvesting, business email compromise. Measures whether your people can identify threats they haven’t been specifically trained on.
Incident response judgment
Triage, investigation, escalation
Can this analyst correctly prioritize a P1 at 2am? Can they distinguish a false positive from lateral movement? Measures the decisions that determine whether an incident is contained or catastrophic.
Security architecture
Understanding attack surfaces and defense-in-depth
Network segmentation, zero trust principles, encryption at rest and in transit, least privilege access. Measures whether your team understands the architecture they’re defending.
Compliance knowledge
NIST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS
Regulatory frameworks are only as strong as the people implementing them. QLM verifies that compliance understanding is real — not just awareness of framework names.
SOC analyst proficiency
Triage, investigation, detection engineering
Alert triage, log analysis, threat hunting, detection rule writing. Measures the skills that determine whether your SOC is a cost center or a competitive advantage.
Security leadership
Executive decision-making under uncertainty
Risk quantification, vendor evaluation, board communication, incident response authority. For CISOs and VP Security Ops — measures the judgment that guides strategy, not just technical depth.

For MSSPs

Prove analyst quality. Resell to clients.

Your clients trust you with their security. QLM gives you the data to prove your team is qualified — and the platform to resell competency monitoring to your customer base.

Per-analyst competency tracking
Every analyst in your SOC has a dimensional competency profile. Know who is strongest in triage, who excels at investigation, and where targeted training will have the highest impact on client outcomes.
Client-facing competency reports
When clients ask “how qualified is your team?” — hand them a calibrated competency report, not a list of certifications. Differentiate your MSSP with evidence-backed analyst quality.
Continuous monitoring with client dashboards
Client-accessible dashboards showing the competency status of the analysts assigned to their account. Real-time. Drift alerts included. Transparency that builds trust and retention.
White-label for client portals
Embed QLM measurement into your client-facing portal. Offer workforce competency monitoring as a premium add-on to your existing security services. Your branding, our engine.
The comparison

Click rates vs. actual competency.

The cost is comparable. The output is incomparable. One tells you who clicked. The other tells you what your workforce actually knows.
