Social Engineering Testing

Your people are the target. Test them safely.

Over 90% of successful cyberattacks start with a human. Our social engineering assessments measure your team's susceptibility to phishing, vishing, and pretexting attacks, then give you the data and training to reduce your human risk.

What We Test

Every social engineering vector. Safely simulated.

Our social engineering assessments cover the full range of human attack vectors used by real-world threat actors.

How It Works

A structured campaign. Measurable results.

Every social engineering engagement follows a rigorous process. You know exactly what we are doing, when we are doing it, and what you will receive at the end.

01

Campaign Design and Scoping

We agree the campaign type, target audience, pretext scenarios, and any staff or systems that are out of scope. Rules of engagement are signed before any testing begins.

02

Open-Source Intelligence Gathering

We gather publicly available information about your organisation and target individuals to craft convincing and realistic attack scenarios.

03

Campaign Execution

Phishing emails, vishing calls, or other social engineering attacks are executed within the agreed window. All activity is logged and tracked.

04

Metrics Collection

We track click rates, credential submissions, report rates, and call outcomes to build a clear picture of your organisation's human risk profile.

05

Reporting and Risk Assessment

A clear report with campaign results, risk ratings, department-level breakdowns, and recommendations for improving your security awareness programme.

06

Awareness Training Delivery

Optional targeted training for staff who engaged with simulated attacks, turning the exercise into a positive learning experience.
