Targeted phishing
Email campaigns simulating realistic scenarios, measuring clicks, credential submission and how often employees report the attempt.
Social engineering testing
The strongest technical control fails when someone is talked into opening the door for the attacker.
Controlled phishing, vishing and physical social engineering simulations to measure how well people and processes resist manipulation, usually paired with awareness programs.

When this matters
People are part of the attack surface too.
Firewalls, MFA and access controls do not stop an employee from clicking a malicious link, giving a password over the phone or unlocking a door for someone with a convincing pretext. The assessment simulates those vectors — email, phone and physical presence — under formal authorization, measuring real behavior rather than what people say they would do in training.

Vectors assessed
How we simulate real manipulation attempts.
The scope and the pretexts used are defined and formally approved before execution.
Vishing
Calls with a controlled pretext, testing whether the help desk, reception or other roles release information or reset access improperly.
Physical social engineering
Attempts to enter facilities through tailgating, an in-person pretext or deliberately dropped devices, assessing physical controls and vigilance.
Metrics for awareness
Aggregate indicators of behavioral exposure that feed training programs and future campaigns.
Inside the delivery
See how this work takes shape.
From technical alignment to delivery, the work has to leave context, evidence and next steps visible to everyone involved.
01 / 04
Process
A simulation with clear ethical and legal limits.
Execution follows rules agreed with the company to avoid harm, unnecessary embarrassment or risk to the operation.
Pretext and audience definition
We choose realistic scenarios and the scope of employees, areas or roles to be assessed.
Authorization and emergency contacts
We formalize limits, internal owners and a contact who can stop the simulation if needed.
Controlled execution
We run the phishing, vishing or physical access attempts within the agreed limits.
Debrief and recommendations
We present aggregate metrics and suggestions to strengthen processes and training, without singling people out punitively.
Deliverables
A result aimed at process and culture, not at blaming people.
The delivery prioritizes what the company can adjust in processes, controls and training.
A real view of behavioral exposure
Objective metrics on how people and processes respond to manipulation attempts.
Gaps in access control and front-desk handling
Points to strengthen in reception, building entry, help desk and identity verification processes.
Input for targeted training
Real scenarios used to make awareness campaigns more relevant.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to help you plan the assessment.
If your question isn't here, talk to the team directly.
Ask on WhatsAppIs it unethical to run phishing simulations on your own employees?+
When conducted with formal authorization, HR involvement and a focus on training rather than individual punishment, the simulation is a recognized practice for measuring and improving human response to real attacks.
What happens to whoever falls for the simulation?+
The goal is not to find culprits. Results are normally reported in aggregate and used to steer training, unless the company explicitly asks for individual follow-up.
Can physical social engineering cause problems with building security?+
That is why we formalize limits, internal owners and an emergency contact in advance, including an authorization letter the team can present if approached during the simulation.
Does this replace security awareness training?+
No. The simulation is normally bought alongside awareness programs, serving as a baseline measurement, a reinforcement or a way to validate results over time.
