VS
PROOFPOINT
CAPABILITIES COMPARISON
Personalized simulations adapt automatically to skill level and confidence using the NIST Phish Scale. Instant feedback and coaching help prevent repeat mistakes and build real resilience.
Gamified phishing challenges sent weekly. Adjusts slightly by user, but mainly focused on earning points and badges, not true dissemination and application of knowledge. Repetition and fatigue are common.
All-inclusive, continuously updated learning built around real threats, microlearnings, and accessibility. Designed to teach critical thinking, not just compliance.
Focused almost entirely on phishing and gamification. Limited variety of training materials. Reviewers report repetitive content and lack of depth in other awareness topics.
Integrates with major platforms (M365, Google, Slack, Okta, PSA/RMM). Automates training triggers, feedback loops, and reporting for increased efficiency.
Connects to M365 and SIEM tools, but real threat response still depends on security teams. Hoxhunt gathers information automatically, but still needs people to finish the job.

Phishing Simulations
Variety of Content
Metrics on Simulations & Real Emails Reported
Dashboards highlight post-click reporting, repeat clickers, reporter accuracy, and remediation rates. Employees have a Personal Risk Score, giving them a clear path forward.
Their dashboard provides admin-only views. Employees base their risk on badges and points. Culture isn’t something users experience; it’s something admins read about.
Personal Risk Score
Employee-visible, behavior-based score that reveals what drives risk and motivates safer actions.
Uses points and badges instead of a true risk score, offering no real view of personal risk.
Cybersecurity Culture Score
Demonstrates how behaviors influence risk and outlines next steps to enhance security culture.
Admin-only “Security Score” that measures engagement, not actual risk reduction.
Feedback on Real Phish
Beauceron analyzes real emails, gives clear guidance, and turns every report into progress with updated risk and culture scores.
Hoxhunt’s “Instant Feedback” shows users what they saw in the email but stops there. It informs without changing behavior and does not connect to personal scores or metrics.
Integrations & Automated Remediation
Why people are choosing Beauceron over Proofpoint.
FAIR, ADAPTABLE, AND SUSTAINABLE
Beauceron builds skill with adaptive, fair phishing and training at the right pace to keep people vigilant without burnout. Our out-of-the-box defaults are research-backed recommendations built to deliver the best results. Hoxhunt’s weekly game-style drills are repetitive, time-consuming, and wear employees down over time.
FEEDBACK THAT IMPROVES, NOT JUST INFORMS
When users report real emails, Hoxhunt tells them what they saw. Beauceron explains what it means, coaches them in the moment, and updates their Personal Risk Score and the Security Culture Score. Every report drives improvement, not just acknowledgment.
RISK REDUCTION PROOF, NOT POINTS!
Beauceron gives every employee a Personal Risk Score and leaders a Security Culture Score, so progress is visible and owned across the org; Hoxhunt keeps metrics on admin dashboards and leans on gamified points and badges. If security feels like ‘just a game,’ how will it change behavior?
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.
