## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-27 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them for a small business (under ~200 employees, no dedicated security staff):
> 
> **1. Huntress Managed SAT (formerly Curricula)** - My default pick for most small businesses. Priced around $1/user/month billed annually, one-click onboarding from Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace with automatic user sync, and the training is animated story-based episodes that people actually finish. It's built for the "no one here owns security" reality. Extra good if you already use or plan to use Huntress MDR, since it's the same console.

> 
> **2. KnowBe4** - The incumbent, and the safe answer if you need auditors, cyber-insurance underwriters, or a big customer to recognize the name. Biggest library of content and phishing templates, publishes per-seat list pricing (roughly $20-30/user/year). The real caveat: it is not set-and-forget - getting value out of it assumes someone is planning campaigns and reading reports regularly, which is exactly the person small businesses don't hav
