AI features shipped
AI Governance gives a live feed of risky prompts across AI tools in use, showing which employee sent what, from which account, and why it was flagged, including credentials, secrets and personal data leaving via personal or unmanaged accounts. Compliance content can be generated from policy documents, and AI avatars for training are opt-in per the privacy policy.

Compliance attestations
* IAPP AIGP certifies individuals, not products. It means named staff hold the credential — not that the platform does.

Frequently asked questions
How is Adaptive Security priced?
Per seat, per year. Adaptive does not publish list prices; you request a custom quote based on employee count and which of the three products you take. Security Awareness Training, Agentic Email Security and AI Governance can be bought individually or bundled, and the vendor contrasts this with multi-year enterprise negotiations.
What is included in the platform?
Three products: Security Awareness Training (multi-channel phishing simulations, compliance library, automated assignments, completion tracking), Agentic Email Security (re-analysis of inbound mail after native filtering, attachment scanning, impersonation protection, automatic remediation), and AI Governance (shadow-AI detection, acceptable-use enforcement, data-leakage visibility across AI tools).
How long does implementation take?
No standard timeline is published. Setup centres on connecting identity and HRIS systems — Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, Workday, BambooHR and similar — so users and groups are synced and enrolled automatically, after which campaigns, reminders and escalations run themselves.
Does it work with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?
Yes. Listed integrations include Microsoft Entra ID and SCIM, Microsoft GCC High, Microsoft Teams training delivery, Outlook direct message injection and Microsoft Triage, plus Google Workspace user import, Gmail DMI simulations and Google Triage for reporting suspicious mail.
Can it cover HIPAA and GDPR compliance training?
Yes. Pre-built modules cover HIPAA, GDPR, UK GDPR, PCI-DSS, CCPA/CPRA, ISO 27001, SOX, FedRAMP, NIS2 and more, localized in 39+ languages with jurisdiction-specific tracks. Note these are training frameworks the platform teaches, not certifications Adaptive itself holds.
Is Adaptive Security SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified?
No vendor security or trust page is among the available sources, so no certification claim can be verified. The compliance page describes training content for frameworks such as HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS and SOC 2, which is different from the vendor holding those attestations. Ask Adaptive directly for its SOC 2 report.
