Human Attack Surface

Social Engineering Assessments

Human-centric attack simulations evaluate employee awareness and insider threat resilience.

Overview

What you get with Social Engineering Assessments.

The most expensive breaches usually start with a human, not a vulnerability. Social engineering assessments measure how your people respond to the specific pressure tactics attackers use today — and give you the data you need to harden the human layer without resorting to vague awareness training.

Our team runs multi-channel campaigns — phishing, vishing, smishing, and in-person pretexting — calibrated to your organization's culture and threat model. Every interaction is logged, every outcome is measurable, and the report tells you which functions, regions, or roles need attention.

We coordinate carefully with HR and leadership so the engagement educates rather than shames, and every employee who interacts with the campaign ends the experience better-defended than before.

  • Pretexting assessments
  • Vishing and impersonation testing
  • Physical infiltration attempts
  • Human vulnerability analysis

Methodology

How we run the engagement.

01

Pretext Design

We craft scenarios that match the threat actors realistically targeting your industry, with rules of engagement aligned to your culture.

02

Multi-Channel Campaign

Phishing, vishing, and (when in scope) in-person engagements run simultaneously to measure cross-channel resilience.

03

Measurement

Click rates, credential submissions, escalations, and reporting times are all captured per cohort.

04

Educational Debrief

Every participant receives constructive feedback, and leadership gets a function-by-function readiness map.

  • Executive briefing tailored for board-level discussion
Frequently Asked Questions

The questions clients ask most.

Will employees know they were tested?

Each individual receives a respectful, educational debrief at the end of the engagement — never punitive. The goal is hardened behavior, not embarrassment.

Is this legal?

Yes. We operate under written authorization from your leadership and within the agreed scope and rules of engagement at all times.
