Evaluation guidance
What to test in your evaluation
- Run a parallel multi-channel simulation (email + voice + QR) and compare reporting.
- Ask each vendor to demonstrate per-user risk scoring across channels, not just email.
- Request a deepfake scenario for an executive cohort and review the coaching loop.
- Test the LMS by asking for a localized, role-based course generated on demand.
- Validate brand and executive impersonation monitoring inside the same platform.
- Compare audit evidence packs against your most recent SOC 2 / ISO requirements.
