Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my organization, we use Infosec IQ for annual HIPAA certification/recertification, which is a required component. New users must undergo the required training, and our existing users must retake the training to stay compliant every year.
Along with that, we use Infosec IQ to provide additional training on various security topics, such as working from home, for example. It helps to keep our staff educated and aware of modern security threats.
Last but not least, is a phishing email simulator, that sends training phishing emails to our users. This feature allows us to train our users how to deal with phishing attacks.

Likelihood to Recommend

Infosec IQ is a great tool for an organization, like ours, that requires everyone to participate in certain training sessions. Scheduling such training sessions is a very convenient feature, that Infosec IQ provides. Built-in reporting allows the IT department to stay up-to-date on the participation levels and act accordingly.
It's hard to tell where it's less appropriate to be applied. With all the security threats evolving every day, security awarness is no longer an option. It's something that needs to be done at any organization to keep the staff educated and prevent possible damages. Infosec IQ is a great tool for that.
