Your KnowBe4 Partner for Phishing Tests, Training, and Audit Records Your Auditor Will Accept
Most KnowBe4 buyers never get past the first campaign. The console goes quiet. The Phish-prone Percentage flatlines.
As your KnowBe4 partner, BEMO takes the program off your IT team and operates it the way KnowBe4 was designed to be used. Cybersecurity partner on one side of the engagement, compliance partner on the other.
Why Add BEMO Behind Your KnowBe4 Subscription
The KnowBe4 platform does what it says on the tin. The training library is the largest in the industry, the AI-driven phishing templates ship weekly, and the Phish-prone Percentage gives you a real number to manage to. None of that matters if no one in your organization owns the program.
Running KnowBe4 properly is a stack of small, recurring jobs. You launch campaigns on a consistent cadence, send follow-up training the moment someone clicks, and filter through the noise in PhishER. You export reports for the auditor before they ask, then adjust difficulty so the same users do not pass the same templates four quarters in a row.
BEMO is the KnowBe4 partner that does it for you. We tie the console to your Microsoft 365 tenant, build a campaign plan against the threats your industry sees, run it month over month, and turn the results into evidence your GRC platform can use.
Here is what shows up in your engagement:
- Campaigns Built Around Your Actual Risk: We pick templates that mirror the phishing your industry sees: BEC targeting finance teams, MFA fatigue targeting engineers, executive impersonation targeting the C-suite.
- Follow-up Coaching That Lands Within Hours: Click a simulated phish, get the remedial module the same day. Repeat clickers get manager visibility, not another reminder email.
- PhishER Triage Handled by Humans: User-reported emails are reviewed, false positives are cleared, and real threats are routed to BEMO's SOC for investigation.
- A Training Plan Mapped to Your Frameworks: Each module is tied to the AT family of CMMC, SOC 2 CC2.3, ISO 27001 A.7.2, NIST 800-171 3.2.x, and HIPAA workforce training.
- Numbers That Move Quarter Over Quarter: Your Customer Success Manager walks you through Phish-prone Percentage, completion rate, and top-five at-risk users every 90 days, then retunes the next quarter based on those results.
- One Vendor for the Stack Around It: Email security, identity, devices, and the SOC are part of the same engagement, so your phishing tests reach the right inboxes and your training records stay accurate as people join and leave.
Most KnowBe4 partners end the relationship at the license sale. BEMO starts there.
What BEMO Managed KnowBe4 Service Covers
You bring the people. We run the program. Below are the nine workstreams that come with every BEMO-managed KnowBe4 engagement, whether you are buying a fresh license through us or layering management on top of a subscription you already own.
KnowBe4 Tenant Setup
Console configured, users synced from Entra ID, groups built around your org chart, learning paths mapped to whichever frameworks you are pursuing.
Monthly Phishing Campaigns
New tests every month, templates matched to your industry threat profile, difficulty stepped up as users learn to spot them.
Training Enrollment That Sticks
Annual and role-based training assigned, reminder emails sent on schedule, manager escalation when deadlines slip.
PhishER Triage
User-reported emails are reviewed by humans, noise is cleared, and confirmed phishing is handed off to BEMO's SOC for response.
Compliance Module Mapping
Each KnowBe4 module is tied to the specific control it satisfies under CMMC, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-171, or HIPAA.
Phish-prone Percentage Review
Monthly look at click trends, name a list of at-risk users, and book follow-up coaching where the data points.
Auditor-Ready Reports
Training and phishing data are exported into Drata or Vanta on the schedule your auditor expects.
Role-Targeted Training Paths
Finance learns wire-fraud scenarios, engineers learn credential-harvesting attacks, executives get whaling - each group trains for the threats aimed at them.
Joiner-Mover-Leaver Sync
New hires are enrolled the day they start, off-boarded users are removed the day they leave, and group membership is tracked alongside HR and device management.

Our Compliance & Technology Partners
BEMO sits within an ecosystem of vendors and auditors who communicate with one another. We are a KnowBe4 security awareness partner and a certified partner with Drata and Vanta for GRC automation.
We are also a known quantity to the audit firms our clients use, including Sensiba, A-LIGN, and Johanson Group. The practical effect: training records flow into the GRC platform we already manage, and the audit firm already recognizes the evidence format we send.
Referring a Customer to BEMO?
Working in KnowBe4 sales or channel? Send us the accounts that bought the platform but do not have someone to run it.
We will get the program live and keep your customers renewing.
BEMO operates the console end-to-end: user sync from Entra ID, monthly campaign cadence, PhishER triage, training enrollment, and audit reporting. The platform handles the heavy work of training delivery and threat simulation. We make sure it gets used.
Good fit signals:
-
The Console Has Been Quiet Since Onboarding: They bought seats, ran one campaign, and the renewal conversation is awkward because utilization is low.
-
An Audit Is on the Horizon: They are heading into CMMC, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA assessment and need documented, recurring training with clean records.
-
Phish-Prone Percentage Stopped Moving: Click rates dropped through the first three quarters and then plateaued. The program needs a new hand on the wheel.
-
IT Is Running It at 9PM: A help desk lead is launching after-hours campaigns, and the auditor expects evidence next week. BEMO takes the program off its plate.
Frequently Asked Questions:
-
How does BEMO work with KnowBe4?
KnowBe4 is the platform. BEMO is the team operating it. We connect the console to your Microsoft 365 and Entra ID environment, design and launch phishing campaigns, deliver security awareness training, chase down people who click links or miss deadlines, triage user reports through PhishER, and stage the records your auditor will request.
A subscription without that operational layer gathers dust. With the layer in place, KnowBe4 becomes a working human-risk program.
-
My company already has KnowBe4. Do we still need BEMO?
The KnowBe4 license includes the library, templates, and simulation engine. What it does not get you is someone launching campaigns every month, following up with non-completers, sorting PhishER reports, or handing the auditor a clean export.
That is the operational gap BEMO fills. If your console has been quiet between annual training cycles, the program is not actually running.
-
What makes BEMO different from other KnowBe4 partners?
Most KnowBe4 partners are pure resellers or training consultants - they sell the license, take the commission, and walk away. BEMO is an MSP, so the rest of the stack KnowBe4 plugs into is also under our scope: Entra ID, Microsoft 365, Intune, Defender, and email security.
That matters because phishing tests fail when the user list is stale, and training records become useless when off-boarded employees still appear as enrolled. We keep both clean as a byproduct of running everything else.
-
Is BEMO a certified KnowBe4 partner?
Yes. KnowBe4 is part of BEMO's managed security and compliance stack. We procure the license, configure the console, run phishing campaigns and training, triage PhishER, and produce the reports. Because BEMO is also your cybersecurity partner across Microsoft 365 and identity, the training platform and its environment stay in sync rather than drifting apart over time.
-
How often should we be running phishing simulations?
For most organizations pursuing a compliance framework, monthly simulations with quarterly program reviews is the cadence that works.
Monthly tests give you steady behavior data without burning users out on phishing fatigue. The quarterly review answers the bigger question: is the Phish-prone Percentage actually trending down?
BEMO sets the cadence, chooses the templates, and increases difficulty as your users get better at spotting them.
-
Does KnowBe4 satisfy compliance training requirements for CMMC, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA?
For the training delivery piece, yes. CMMC Level 2's Awareness and Training family pulls in AT.L2-3.2.1, AT.L2-3.2.2, and AT.L2-3.2.3 - basic awareness, role-based instruction, and insider threat training. SOC 2 CC2.3, ISO 27001 A.7.2, HIPAA, and NIST 800-171 all carry their own training mandates.
BEMO maps each KnowBe4 module to the specific control it satisfies, so the audit evidence is ready before the assessor asks.
-
What if our click-rates do not improve?
That is the question most KnowBe4 customers do not ask until they are 12 months in and the numbers have not moved. Three patterns usually explain it: templates are too predictable, cadence is too thin, or the same user groups keep getting tested with the same scenarios.
BEMO reviews the data each quarter and adjusts template variety, difficulty, role targeting, and follow-up coaching. The metric we manage is reducing Phish-prone Percentage - not training completion.
-
Can BEMO integrate KnowBe4 with our GRC platform?
Yes. KnowBe4 training records and phishing simulation results flow into Drata or Vanta as evidence on your compliance dashboard. When an assessor asks for proof of annual security awareness training, the answer is a single export.
-
Are you also our cybersecurity partner and compliance partner under the same contract?
Yes. As your cybersecurity partner, BEMO runs training, email security, endpoints, identity, and the SOC.
As your compliance partner, BEMO manages the GRC platform, auditor relationships, and the evidence package. KnowBe4 sits inside that program rather than next to it, so the human-risk numbers and the compliance posture share the same source of truth.
You can choose which services and plans to contract with us.
