Hook Security vs Breach Secure Now: An Honest Comparison for MSPs (2026)

Short answer: choose Breach Secure Now if you want one channel-only vendor that bundles security awareness with Microsoft 365 productivity lessons, AI-adoption programs, healthcare compliance courses and dark web monitoring, sold to clients as an employee training package. Choose Hook if security awareness is the service you sell and you want it to change behavior: monthly practice, coaching at the exact moment of the click, and a no-blame method that Autopilot runs for you.

Breach Secure Now (BSN) has worked with MSPs for more than 15 years and is a serious option. This page says where it wins, where it and Hook differ, and what a switch actually takes, with every outside claim linked in the Sources section.

The short version

• Who it sells to: BSN is channel-only, built exclusively for MSPs, and says it has a 3,000+ MSP partner network. Hook also sells through MSPs, with hundreds of partners, and trains 250,000+ employees every month.
• Breadth: BSN runs four product lines: cybersecurity training with phishing simulations and dark web monitoring, an AI Adoption Suite, Microsoft 365 productivity training, and HIPAA, OSHA and FWA compliance training. Hook is a dedicated security awareness platform with its own HIPAA, PCI, GDPR and AI courses.
• Training style: BSN pairs 2 to 3 minute micro-trainings with a live-action, docu-style 2026 core course that takes under an hour, plus weekly reinforcement. Hook produces its own short, humor- and psychology-first videos built on its PsySec approach.
• Measurement: BSN rolls results into an Employee Secure Score with a gamified leaderboard in Microsoft Teams. Hook does not rank individual employees. It measures each client's resilience per manipulation tactic and coaches with the Training Moment the second someone clicks a phishing simulation.
• Reviews: there is little public review data on BSN. TrustRadius shows 7.7 out of 10 on 2 reviews, and BSN's G2 seller page lists only its dark web monitoring product, with one review. Hook holds 4.7/5 across 87 G2 reviews.
• Pricing: BSN does not publish prices; it runs on a month-to-month model with a 30-day trial that needs no credit card. Hook includes every feature per seat with no multi-year term, and MSP partner pricing is available on request.

Where Breach Secure Now is strong

Fairness first. The breadth is real. If your MSP wants to sell a wider employee training story, BSN gives you Microsoft 365 productivity lessons, a Generative AI Certification and an AI Risk to Adoption program that surfaces shadow AI and governance gaps, next to the security content. Its dark web monitoring pairs exposed-credential alerts with remediation training, and its Catch Phish plugin brings phishing practice into Outlook.

For healthcare clients, BSN bundles HIPAA, OSHA and Fraud, Waste and Abuse training with policy templates and risk assessments. It is channel-only, so it never competes with you for the client, and the month-to-month model with a no-credit-card trial keeps the commitment low. If one partner for every kind of employee training is the goal, BSN deserves a serious look.

Where the two differ

The first difference is focus. BSN is a broad catalog across security, productivity, AI and compliance. For Hook, security behavior change is the whole job, so the content, the coaching and the monthly cadence that Autopilot runs for you are built around one idea: people change when they understand the manipulation tactic being used on them and feel good about spotting it, not when they are scolded.

The second is how people are measured. BSN's Employee Secure Score and Teams leaderboard turn training into a friendly competition, and some teams enjoy that. Hook avoids ranking individuals on purpose: a leaderboard also shows who is at the bottom, and Hook's view is that employees who worry about looking bad are slower to report a click. Hook tracks how resilient each client is against each tactic and rewards reporting. Run both approaches with a pilot client and compare how many suspicious emails get reported.

The third is review evidence. BSN has very few public reviews on the major sites, so ask for MSP references who run it at clients your size, and ask to see the report you would hand a client at renewal. Hook's reviews are public on G2, and the Hook for MSPs page shows the multi-tenant dashboard, directory sync and white-label client reports.

What switching actually involves

• Decide what stays: if a client relies on BSN's Microsoft 365, OSHA or AI-adoption lessons, decide whether to keep that piece before you move security awareness. Healthcare clients can use Hook's HIPAA security awareness training and role-based HIPAA courses.
• Export your history: pull completion and simulation records for each client before you sunset the old platform, so audit and insurance evidence stays intact.
• Safe-listing: allow Hook's sending infrastructure in each client tenant. It takes minutes per tenant with copy-paste rules.
• Onboarding: multi-tenant setup imports your client list, each client takes under five minutes to connect, and Autopilot takes over the monthly cadence from there.
• Timing: BSN runs month to month, so you are not waiting on a long term. Move one pilot client first, then the rest in stages.

The bottom line

Stay on BSN if the bundle is what you sell: productivity, AI adoption and healthcare compliance training under one partner program, and your clients finish the training. Switch to Hook if security awareness is where the program breaks down: if employees tune out, if completion slips, or if you want a program that runs itself and coaches at the click instead of ranking people.
