❓ Common Questions

FAQ.

Do phishing simulations really work?

Yes. Companies that run monthly phishing sims typically drop click-through rates from 25-30% (untrained baseline) to 3-8% within 12 months. Real phishing attacks become measurably less effective.

Won't people get annoyed by fake phishing emails?

Only if framed as "gotcha." Media Express positions phishing sims as friendly training. Users who fail get instant micro-training, not public shaming. Culture matters more than technology.

Is this required for HIPAA / SOC 2 / CMMC?

Yes to varying degrees. HIPAA requires periodic security training. SOC 2 requires documented awareness program. CMMC L2 requires annual awareness. GLBA Safeguards Rule requires employee training. Our reports satisfy all.

KnowBe4 vs Curricula — which is better?

KnowBe4: largest library, most polished platform, industry standard, best for regulated businesses. Curricula: storytelling approach, better engagement metrics, best for teams that hate traditional training. Ninjio: cinema-style short episodes, best for retention. Media Express matches to team preferences.

How long does training take?

Annual: 45-90 minutes broken into modules. Users complete in 2-3 sessions. Just-in-time: 2-5 minutes per micro-lesson. Live workshops: 60-90 minutes each.
