Alternatives to KnowBe4
Other Email security vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that KnowBe4 does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 27 that differ from KnowBe4 on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
KnowBe4 has 5 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change. The column “publishes and KnowBe4 does not” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
