Introduction
KnowBe4’s Advanced Reporting feature provides actionable metrics and insight into the effectiveness of your security awareness training program.
Beneath the Reports tab, you can create over 60 different styles of reports to meet the needs of your organization. These reports will help you understand where improvements need to be made to improve the strength of your human firewall.
With artificially-intelligent and voice-powered technology, Advanced Reporting will create reports instantly based on a spoken command. If preferred, you can type relevant keywords into our Find Report search function to create the report you need.
Each report can be downloaded as a PDF or CSV. The presentation of the report (chart, line graph, etc.) will vary depending on the type of data that is included.

Use cases
Below are some examples of reports that you can generate, either by speaking the request or typing it in the Find Report search bar. See a list of all report types as well as more use cases in our Report Types area.
#1 What users are the most vulnerable to a phishing attack?
This request will list the overall Phish-prone Percentages of all of your users and allow you to filter by specific groups. The Phish-prone Percentage indicates how likely they are to fall for a phishing attack.

#2 What users have not been trained yet?
This request will indicate what users have not been enrolled in any training campaigns. This will allow you to target users who are the most vulnerable with security awareness training campaigns.
User Listings: Untrained Users
#3 What types of phishing templates are users prone to clicking?
This report provides insight into the types of phishing templates your users are susceptible to clicking on. With this, you can provide specialized training on the types of attacks they are prone to falling for.
Template Failures: All Campaigns
#4 What are my highest-risk groups?
This report provides a chart indicating the risk score of all groups and can be filtered by specific groups to find those that have the highest risk.
