## About

Herd Security provides an AI-driven platform designed for continuous security awareness training targeted primarily at security and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) teams. The core functionality involves ingesting an organization's specific security policies, threat data, and employee structures to create customized training content in various formats, including text, video, and conversational AI. This content is delivered directly to users via platforms such as Slack and Teams, facilitating easy access and integration into existing workflows. The company's services aim to enhance employee engagement with security training, shifting away from traditional annual training models to ongoing education that adapts to the evolving threat landscape. Herd primarily serves clients across various sectors, including technology, finance, and healthcare, with a customer base focused on organizations looking to strengthen their security posture and compliance capabilities in North America and Europe.

Herd Security operates on a subscription-based revenue model, where clients pay for tailored training solutions that can be deployed on-demand. The company offers a 30-day trial period for potential users, allowing them to explore the platform's features before committing to a subscription. Revenue transactions typically involve B2B agreements where organizations subscribe to Herd's services, gaining access to the platform's extensive training resources and capabilities. The pricing structure is designed to cater to different organizational needs, allowing clients to select plans that best fit their scale and security training requirements. Key products include their AI-generated training modules, which can be customized for compliance with standards such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA.

In May 2026, Herd Security, Inc. raised USD 3 mn in seed funding which they plan to use to expand product development, add new training features, improve video generation, and build partnerships.
