Simulated Employee Phishing Operations

Phishing Simulations

Controlled phishing campaigns designed to measure user susceptibility and strengthen awareness.

Overview

What you get with Phishing Simulations.

Generic phishing simulations train employees to spot generic phishing — which is no longer what attackers send. Our campaigns are bespoke: lures match real threat-actor pretexts targeting your sector, infrastructure mimics realistic adversary tradecraft, and metrics give you something more useful than a click rate.

We run campaigns at three levels: broad commodity phishing, targeted spear-phishing against high-value roles, and full red-team-grade Business Email Compromise simulations. Each tier is calibrated to a specific business outcome and learning goal.

Outputs include not just who clicked, but who reported, who escalated to security, and how your detection stack performed end-to-end.

  • Custom phishing campaigns
  • Credential harvesting simulations
  • Awareness effectiveness metrics
  • Targeted spear-phishing exercises

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions clients ask most.

How often should we run phishing simulations?

Quarterly campaigns with rotating lures tend to produce the strongest behavioral change. Monthly is reasonable for high-risk industries.

Will this hurt employee morale?

Not when delivered as education rather than gotcha. Our debriefs are instant, respectful, and framed around helping the individual recognize the same trick next time.
