FAQ

Common Questions

Don't see your question? Our team responds within 2 business hours.


Talk to an Expert →
How long does implementation take?
+
Most enterprise deployments are live within 5–10 business days. Our implementation team handles SSO/SAML configuration, Active Directory or HR system sync, LMS integration, and initial phishing simulation setup. Larger global deployments (10,000+ seats, multi-region) typically take 3–4 weeks with dedicated project management.
Does ShieldMind integrate with our existing LMS?
+
Yes. ShieldMind supports SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI (Tin Can), and AICC standards, ensuring compatibility with Workday Learning, Cornerstone, SAP SuccessFactors, Docebo, and virtually any enterprise LMS. We also offer standalone deployment with our native learner portal.
How do phishing simulations handle employee privacy?
+
Simulation results are used exclusively for training purposes and are never shared with individual managers without CISO-level approval. Aggregate reporting does not identify individuals. We are GDPR-compliant and provide a Data Processing Agreement (DPA). Individual employee scores are protected and access-controlled by role.
What languages are the training modules available in?
+
Standard plans include 15 languages. Global tier includes 40+ languages with culturally localized content (not just translated). Languages include: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Mandarin, Korean, Arabic, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, and more. Custom language packs are available for additional dialects.
Can we create custom training content?
+
Enterprise and Global tiers include access to our Custom Module Builder, which allows security teams to create branded training content using our drag-and-drop authoring tool. We also offer managed content creation services where our instructional design team builds custom modules based on your policies, incidents, or specific threat scenarios.
What is your uptime and data security posture?
+
ShieldMind maintains 99.9% uptime (99.99% on Global tier) with multi-region redundancy across AWS. We are SOC 2 Type II certified, ISO 27001 certified, and undergo annual third-party penetration testing. All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). We support data residency requirements for EU, UK, and APAC regions.
How is success measured and reported?
+
Our Human Risk Score (HRS) provides a single metric updated in real time. You receive weekly executive digests, monthly compliance reports, and quarterly Business Reviews with your CSM. All metrics are benchmarkable against our anonymized industry dataset of 3M+ users, so you can see how your organization compares to industry peers.
