Training Completion Tracking

Overview

Training completion is the leading indicator for the human-layer side of security posture: an org whose users are behind on required training is an org whose users are more likely to fall for the next real phishing attempt. This skill covers how to pull training-campaign completion state across whatever security-awareness platform is connected, turn it into a per-org completion rate, and flag clients falling behind their contracted cadence — without assuming a specific vendor's data model.

Anti-triggers

• Running a KnowBe4 campaign — creating campaigns, enrolling users, browsing the content library, or buying store modules is the vendor's API surface; use knowbe4-training.
• KnowBe4's own completion reports and benchmarks — the platform computes those natively per account; use knowbe4-reporting. This skill exists for the portfolio rollup and the cadence judgment across whatever platform is connected.

Step Zero: Confirm What's Connected

Call conduit__search_tools with a query like "training campaign" or "training completion" before assuming a specific vendor is available. KnowBe4 is the primary training/phishing-simulation platform in this marketplace and, where connected, is the strongest source for this skill — it exposes campaign-level enrollment and completion data directly (e.g. knowbe4__list_users, knowbe4__list_campaigns). Proofpoint and Checkpoint Avanan both carry secondary awareness/phishing-simulation features alongside their core email-security function; where connected, treat them as additional or corroborating sources, not a replacement for a dedicated training platform. If no training/awareness connector is found for a client, say so explicitly rather than reporting a completion rate of 0% — "unmeasured" and "0% complete" are very different findings and must not be conflated.

Key Concepts

What "overdue" means

A user or org is overdue when a training assignment has passed its due date without a completion recorded, or when the org has no active/recent campaign covering a training requirement that a defined cadence calls for. Distinguish between:

• Assignment overdue — a specific training module or campaign was assigned to a user with a due date, and that date has passed with no completion recorded. This is the clearest, most defensible overdue signal when the platform exposes due dates.
• Cadence overdue — no assignment exists at all, but the org's contracted or expected cadence (e.g. "quarterly phishing simulation, annual awareness module") implies one should have run by now. This requires knowing the cadence — pull it from documentation (IT Glue/Hudu), the PSA contract, or ask, rather than inventing a default cadence and presenting it as fact. If no cadence is known, report completion status without an overdue judgment and say why.

Per-org completion rate

Completion rate = completed assignments / total assignments for the relevant campaign or requirement, per org. Report this per campaign as well as an org-level rollup across all active campaigns — a single blended percentage can hide the difference between "everyone did the quarterly phishing sim" and "nobody did the annual compliance module."

Flagging clients falling behind cadence

1. Establish the expected cadence per client, where known (contract terms, documentation, or explicit user input). If unknown, do not assume a default — flag cadence as unconfirmed for that client.
2. Compare the most recent completed campaign date (or, for a currently-running campaign, its due date) against the expected cadence interval.
3. Flag any client whose most recent relevant campaign is older than the cadence interval, or who has no campaign of that type at all in the connected platform's history.
4. Rank flagged clients by how far past cadence they are, not just a binary flag — a client 400 days overdue on annual training is a different priority than one 20 days overdue.

Common Workflows

Portfolio-wide overdue sweep

1. Discover the connected training platform(s) via conduit__search_tools.
2. For each client (or org/group, depending on the platform's tenancy model), pull active and recent campaigns and per-user completion status.
3. Compute per-org completion rate per campaign, and flag any user with an assignment past its due date.
4. Where cadence is known, flag clients whose most recent relevant campaign predates the expected interval.
5. Present clients with zero connected training tooling as unmeasured, separate from — not blended into — the ranked overdue list.

Single-client training snapshot

1. Resolve the client against the connected platform's org/group model.
2. Pull all campaigns scoped to that client and completion status per user.
3. Report completion rate per campaign, list of overdue users by name (or ID if names aren't exposed), and cadence status if known.

Error Handling

No training/awareness connector found

State plainly that no training-completion data is available — do not report a 0% completion rate, which implies data was checked and everyone failed. "No security-awareness training platform connected for this client" is the correct output.

Connector present but campaign has no due dates

Report completion rate without an "overdue" classification for that campaign, and note that overdue detection requires due-date data the platform didn't return for this campaign.

Cadence unknown

Report completion status without a cadence-compliance verdict, and note explicitly that cadence wasn't available (documentation, contract, or user input) rather than assuming a default like "quarterly."

Best Practices

• Tool names follow <vendor-slug>__<tool_name> (e.g. knowbe4__list_campaigns) — discover them via conduit__search_tools rather than guessing.
• Where Proofpoint or Avanan phishing-simulation data is available alongside KnowBe4, note it as corroborating context in this skill, but hand off correlation with real-world click data to the phishing-simulation-analysis skill rather than duplicating that logic here.
