What Phishing Simulation covers

Measure and improve how your people detect, respond to, and report phishing attempts.

Phishing Simulation or Phishing Readiness Assessment evaluates an organization’s exposure to phishing and social engineering attacks by measuring how users respond to realistic phishing scenarios. The objective is to assess human risk, identify awareness gaps, and understand how effectively phishing attempts are detected and reported within the organization.

The assessment focuses on user behavior rather than individual blame. Controlled phishing simulations are designed to reflect common real-world tactics such as credential harvesting, malicious links, and document-based lures. Results are analyzed at an organizational level to identify trends, high-risk patterns, and areas where additional awareness or technical controls are required.

This service helps organizations understand their current phishing risk, validate the effectiveness of existing security awareness programs, and establish a baseline to measure improvement over time across teams, departments, and locations.

Flowchart

Our phishing simulation process

A structured approach from defining in-scope users to actionable training and awareness recommendations.

Engagement stages
From scope definition and campaign design to risk insights and awareness improvement.
Step 01
Scope Definition & User Group Selection
Identifying in-scope business units, user groups, and communication channels so that simulations mirror real organizational risk.
Step 02
Phishing Scenario Design
Designing realistic phishing lures and templates that reflect common attacker tactics, brands, and themes relevant to your environment.
Step 03
Controlled Phishing Simulation
Executing controlled phishing campaigns under agreed conditions, with safeguards to avoid operational disruption or user trust erosion.
Step 04
User Interaction & Reporting Analysis
Analyzing who clicks, submits data, or reports emails to understand engagement patterns and the effectiveness of existing reporting channels.
Step 05
Risk & Awareness Maturity Assessment
Interpreting results at an organizational level to identify high-risk groups, awareness gaps, and trends over time rather than focusing on individuals.
Step 06
Reporting & Recommendations
Delivering clear reporting, metrics, and tailored recommendations to strengthen awareness programs, controls, and phishing response processes.
