Social Engineering

Test Your People. Fortify Your Defense.

The most sophisticated firewalls can’t stop a deceptive phone call or an innocent-looking email. Social engineering, including phishing and impersonation, remains the number one cause of significant financial loss for small and mid-sized businesses. Our Social Engineering Assessment Service proactively tests your team’s resilience, identifies the weak points in your processes, and provides accessible training that transforms employees from liabilities into your first line of defense.

The Challenge: The Human Firewall

Minimize the Attack Surface with a Comprehensive Vulnerability Management Program

Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams and phishing attacks succeed because they exploit human trust, urgency, and procedure gaps. SMBs often lack the resources to maintain consistent, realistic training, leading to risks such as:

  • Financial Fraud: Employees authorizing fraudulent wire transfers or payments (like in your $25,000 case study).

  • Data Theft: Staff clicking malicious links or submitting credentials to fake login pages.

  • Physical Security Breaches: Unauthorized access gained through tailgating or impersonation.

  • Untested Policies: Security policies that look good on paper but fail under real-world pressure.

Our Approach: Safe, Realistic, and Accessible Testing

We conduct controlled, real-world simulations designed to safely expose vulnerabilities across three critical attack vectors. Our goal is Transparency and education, not embarrassment.

Key Assessment Pillars:

  1. Phishing Simulation Campaigns:

    • Email Scenarios: Deploying realistic email campaigns (CEO impersonation, invoice alerts, IT alerts) tailored to your industry and organization.

    • Credential Harvesting: Testing if employees submit login credentials to a controlled, simulated malicious page.

  2. Voice Phishing (Vishing) Attempts:

    • Phone Scenarios: Attempting to extract sensitive information (passwords, system details) or manipulate employees into installing malware or visiting malicious sites via phone call.

  3. Physical Security Assessments (Optional):

    • On-Site Testing: Attempting to gain physical access to restricted areas, unauthorized workstations, or internal networks through methods like tailgating or impersonation.

The Deliverable: Targeted Training That Sticks

Our service concludes with actionable remediation plans that prioritize education and simplicity.

  • Risk Metrics & Reporting: A transparent report detailing the click rates, conversion rates (e.g., credentials submitted), and staff awareness metrics.

  • Prioritized Remediation: A clear roadmap for fixing procedural gaps, hardening your technical controls (like implementing MFA), and improving communication policies.

  • Customized Training Modules: Access to simple, focused training modules delivered immediately upon failure of a simulation, ensuring high retention and turning failure into an immediate learning opportunity.
