Phishing Assessments & Social Engineering

Why Social Engineering Testing Matters

Firewalls don't block a convincing email that tricks your CFO into wiring money, or a phone call that gets your help desk to reset credentials for an attacker. Phishing and social engineering are how most breaches actually start — at every level, from opportunistic scammers to nation-state actors.

A social engineering assessment shows you exactly where your people are vulnerable and what needs to change.

Our Services

• Phishing Simulations — We send realistic, tailored phishing emails to your employees and measure click rates, credential submission rates, and reporting behavior. Campaigns range from generic pretexts to highly targeted spear-phishing against executives (BEC simulation).
• Vishing (Voice Phishing) — Controlled phone calls to your help desk or employees using pretexts like IT support, vendor inquiries, or HR requests to see if sensitive information or access can be obtained verbally.
• Smishing (SMS Phishing) — Text-based phishing campaigns targeting mobile users.
• Physical Social Engineering — Tailgating attempts, pretexting for building access, or USB drop campaigns — available as an add-on to broader engagements.
• Pretext Development — For red team engagements, we build custom pretexts and lure infrastructure (spoofed domains, clone login pages) designed to bypass user suspicion.

What We Measure

Every phishing assessment produces clear, actionable metrics:

• Open rate — how many employees opened the phishing email
• Click rate — how many clicked the malicious link
• Credential submission rate — how many entered their username and password
• Reporting rate — how many flagged the email to your security team
• Time to click — how quickly employees engaged with the lure
• Department and role breakdown — where the vulnerability is concentrated

These metrics give you a before/after baseline so you can measure the impact of security awareness training over time.

Responsible Testing

All social engineering assessments run under a signed rules of engagement covering scope, targets, and limits. We never run phishing or vishing campaigns without explicit written authorization. Everything is documented.

We also offer a post-assessment debrief so employees understand what happened and why. The test should leave your team better prepared, not embarrassed.
