# Herd Security > Herd Security is an AI platform security teams use to generate their own security awareness training and phishing simulations from their company's policies and real threats, delivered in Slack and Microsoft Teams. Herd is built for the security, GRC, IT, and compliance teams that run awareness programs without dedicated training staff. Point it at a policy, a threat advisory, or one sentence describing what your team needs to know, and it writes the lesson, delivers it where people already work, and tracks completion against frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. Employees never log in to anything, and nothing publishes without a person approving it. ## Blog - [Buying a New Human Risk Management Platform?
