Phishing simulation

Find out who would click. Before an attacker does.

Realistic, targeted simulated phishing campaigns that measure genuine human risk across your workforce, not a one-off gotcha exercise run once a year to tick a box. Every result feeds straight into training, so the same gap doesn't get tested twice without anything changing in between.

The business case

Training tells you what people know. Simulation tells you what they do.

Phishing remains one of the most common ways attackers get a foothold, whether that's ransomware, business email compromise or straightforward credential theft. Most organisations assume their training worked because staff sat through a module, but the only honest way to measure real-world exposure is to test behaviour under realistic conditions. Insurers and boards are increasingly asking for that evidence directly, which is also core to the posture work we cover in compliance & security auditing.

Attackers don't send obvious emails anymore.

Modern phishing lures are well-written, contextually timed and often impersonate a real supplier, colleague or internal system. Testing against generic, easy-to-spot templates tells you nothing about how staff would handle the version an actual attacker sends.

Assumed knowledge isn't measured knowledge.

A completed training module proves someone watched a video, not that they'd recognise a live attempt landing in their inbox on a busy Monday. Simulation is the only way to close that gap between knowing and doing.

Boards and insurers want proof, not assurances.

"Our staff are trained" is no longer sufficient evidence for a cyber insurance renewal or a board risk report. Documented, recurring simulation results with a demonstrable remediation loop is what those conversations increasingly require.

How campaigns work

Realistic scenarios, measured properly.

Every campaign is built to reflect what your staff would genuinely encounter, then measured and acted on, not filed away as a report nobody reads.

Real-world lure scenarios

Simulated campaigns modelled on the phishing techniques currently in circulation, invoice fraud, delivery notifications, credential harvesting and internal-system impersonation, rotated so staff learn to recognise patterns, not a single template.

Targeted spear-phishing scenarios

Higher-stakes, more personalised campaigns aimed at finance, executive and other high-value staff, mirroring the business email compromise and invoice-redirection attempts that specifically target these roles.

Click & report analytics

Every campaign is measured on who clicked, who reported it correctly and how quickly, broken down by team so patterns of risk become visible rather than buried in an individual pass/fail list.

Instant remediation on a click

Clicking a simulated email triggers a short, immediate explainer covering exactly what gave it away, followed by a micro-training module through Security Awareness Training so the lesson lands while the moment is still fresh.

Correlated with technical controls

Simulation results are read alongside your DMARC & Phishing Protection posture, human risk and technical filtering are two halves of the same problem, and the gap between them is where the real exposure usually sits.

Leadership-ready reporting

Aggregated, team-level results built for a board pack or an insurer questionnaire, evidence that testing is genuinely happening and that findings are acted on, not a spreadsheet of individual failures.

Frequently asked

Common questions about phishing simulation.

What prospective clients, and their staff, ask us most.

Isn't this just tricking our staff?
The point isn't to catch anyone out for its own sake, it's to find out where the organisation's real exposure sits before an actual attacker does. Results are used to target training and close gaps, not to name and shame individuals. Framed and communicated properly, most staff understand it's about protecting the business they work for, not testing them personally.
How often do simulated campaigns run?
Campaigns run on a recurring schedule rather than as a single annual event, with scenarios varied so staff aren't just learning to spot one specific template. Cadence is agreed with you based on your risk profile and industry.
What happens when someone clicks a simulated phishing email?
The click is captured, never the credentials, and the person is immediately shown a short, plain-English explainer covering what the tell-tale signs were and what to do differently next time. It's designed as an in-the-moment teaching point, not a punishment.
What does leadership actually see in reporting?
Aggregated results by team and campaign, trends over time, and which scenario types catch people out most often. Reporting is built for a board or insurer conversation: evidence that testing happens and that the organisation is acting on what it finds, not a list of individual names.
How is this different from Security Awareness Training?
Security Awareness Training builds the knowledge; phishing simulation tests whether it actually changed behaviour under realistic conditions. Run together, a simulation click routes the person straight into a short remediation module in the training programme, closing the loop between testing and learning.
