The CMOOR Group

What The CMOOR Group does

The CMOOR Group (CMOOR, Inc.) is a privately held ed-tech company founded in 2000 in Louisville, Kentucky, by Connie Moorhead (CEO) and Chris Moorhead (COO). The company provides training, compliance, and credentialing software and services exclusively to the security, fire, and life safety industry in the United States, serving security integrators, dealers, monitoring companies, equipment manufacturers, and end-user organizations. Its portfolio includes SecurityCEU.com, a continuing education portal offering 165+ hours of industry-specific CEU content delivered via a Library Subscription model; SUTRA, a proprietary Learning Management System for enterprise deployments; Obsequio Compliance Manager, a system for automating licensing and certification renewals; ShowMYBadge.com for digital credential display; and custom eLearning content development plus license consulting services.

CMOOR's technical backbone is its proprietary SUTRA LMS, which delivers SCORM and AICC-compliant content, supports multimedia, synchronous/asynchronous communication, and centralized administration, auditing, testing, scoring, and reporting. The company also operates FieldResolve, an AI-powered technical support service featuring end-to-end encryption, and uses AI-enhanced narration in course content. Its core defensibility rests on regulatory approval of its CEU programs at national and state levels, a state-by-state licensing matrix maintained as Version 9.0, and a 1,200+ term industry glossary developed with the Western Burglar and Fire Alarm Association (WBFAA). Distribution leverages cooperative relationships with leading industry associations and channel partners, including The Monitoring Association (TMA), WBFAA, PSA Security Network, and ADI Global Distribution.

The business model combines recurring subscription revenue (SecurityCEU.com Library Subscriptions, SUTRA LMS licensing, Obsequio Compliance Manager) with professional services (custom content development and licensing/certification consulting). GTM is sales-led with direct phone and email outreach to enterprise and mid-market buyers, complemented by self-serve portals for individual learners and SMB subscribers. Marketing spans the company website, gated resources, LinkedIn/Twitter/Facebook, email newsletters, and direct sales demos. The CMOOR Group serves enterprise customers including Johnson Controls/Tyco, Allied Universal, Siemens, Comcast, ADI Global Distribution, DMP, Brivo, and Security 101, alongside long-tail SMB subscription users, and operates with a team of 11–50 employees under founder leadership.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Docebo: Public enterprise LMS platform with compliance and certification capabilities. Comparable as an LMS competitor serving mid-market and enterprise buyers, though Docebo operates across many verticals rather than specializing in security/fire/life-safety.
• Cornerstone OnDemand: Large enterprise learning and talent management platform with compliance tracking functionality. Comparable as a competitor for enterprise LMS and compliance mandates, though Cornerstone addresses broad HR/L&D rather than security industry verticals.

Direct peers

• TalentLMS: Cloud LMS targeting SMB and mid-market with subscription pricing and course library model. Comparable in business model (subscription LMS with content marketplace) and feature parity (testing, SCORM/AICC, compliance), though TalentLMS is vertical-agnostic.
• Trainual: SMB-focused training and onboarding platform with subscription pricing. Comparable in targeting mid-market buyers with subscription recurring revenue and LMS-adjacent functionality, though Trainual focuses on employee onboarding rather than licensed-professional CEUs.

Emerging players

• Lessonly (by Seismic): Training platform acquired by Seismic for sales/customer enablement. Comparable as a SaaS training platform serving enterprise sales and channel teams — overlapping with CMOOR's manufacturing channel-training use case.
• ISC2: Global cybersecurity certification body (CISSP, etc.) with continuing education requirements. Comparable as a vertical-specific certification and CE provider with similar recurring compliance mandates, though focused on cybersecurity rather than physical security/fire.

Others

• Electronic Security Association (ESA): Industry trade association offering National Training School courses and certifications to security professionals. Comparable as a provider of CEU-eligible training to the same customer base (security integrators and dealers) — making ESA both a partner channel and an indirect content competitor.
• Security Industry Association (SIA): Industry trade association offering education, certification, and training programs for security technology providers. Comparable as an association-driven training provider in the same vertical; CMOOR lists SIA as a partner, indicating overlapping content and audience.
• ASIS International: Professional organization for security management practitioners offering CPP, PSP, and PCI certifications with associated training. Comparable as a certification-driven training body serving security practitioners, with overlapping learner base in enterprise security teams.
• NFPA (National Fire Protection Association): Standards and training body for fire and life safety, offering certifications and CEU-eligible courses. Comparable as a fire/life-safety training authority whose content overlaps with CMOOR's Fire and Life Safety segment, and which represents both a content source and indirect competitor.
