Human Factor SecuritySocial Engineering& Phishing Assessment
We run targeted phishing, vishing, smishing, and physical pretexting campaigns against your organisation to find out how your people respond when someone tries to manipulate them, and what gets through your email filters, phone screening, and physical access controls.
Phishing Campaigns
Spear phishing, credential harvesting, and payload delivery
Vishing & Smishing
Phone and text-based pretexting against your staff
Physical Testing
Tailgating, badge cloning, and impersonation
The Human Element
You can spend heavily on firewalls, endpoint protection, and SIEM, and one well-crafted phishing email can bypass all of it. The Verizon DBIR consistently shows that the majority of breaches involve a human element. It's still the easiest way in.
Modern phishing doesn't look like the Nigerian prince emails people joke about. It looks like a legitimate password reset from your SSO provider, a Teams message from a 'new hire' in IT, or a phone call from someone who already knows your employee's name, manager, and last support ticket. We design our campaigns to match what real attackers are sending right now, not what worked five years ago.
The outcome is hard data: who clicked, who submitted credentials, who opened the attachment, who reported it, and which departments are most vulnerable. You get the numbers your CISO needs to justify training budgets and the specifics your security team needs to build targeted awareness programs.
Attack Types We Simulate
Phishing & Spear Phishing
Targeted email campaigns designed to trick recipients into clicking malicious links, downloading simulated payloads, or revealing credentials through convincing impersonation and pretexting.
Vishing (Voice Phishing)
Phone-based social engineering targeting help desk, receptionists, and employees to extract sensitive information or convince them to perform unauthorised actions.
Smishing (SMS Phishing)
Text message campaigns targeting employees with credential harvesting links, fake MFA prompts, and urgent action requests designed to bypass the skepticism people apply to email.
Physical Social Engineering
On-site testing where our team attempts to gain physical access to your facilities through tailgating, badge cloning, vendor impersonation, and pretexting to assess how well your physical security controls and employees prevent unauthorised entry.
Campaign Deliverables
Click & Compromise Rates
Detailed metrics showing who clicked, who submitted credentials, who opened attachments, who reported the email, and time-to-click for each recipient
Department Analysis
Breakdown of susceptibility by team, role, and seniority level
Training Recommendations
Targeted awareness recommendations for the departments and roles with the highest susceptibility, including specific pretexts and attack types to focus training on
Remediation Guidance
Technical control recommendations including email filtering rule improvements, MFA enforcement gaps, and policy changes to prevent successful pretexting
One Click Can Compromise Everything
In our social engineering campaigns, even security-conscious organisations see credential submission rates that surprise them. The employees who click aren't careless. They're busy, the pretext was convincing, and the email arrived at the right moment. BEC attacks alone cost organisations over $50 billion between 2013 and 2023 according to the FBI, and those numbers only account for reported losses. The real question isn't whether your employees will encounter social engineering. It's whether they'll recognise it in time and know what to do.
Find out your organisation's real click rate, credential submission rate, and reporting rate before an attacker tests them for you.
