Why Attackers Target People, Not Systems

Technical controls are strong. Humans are vulnerable. Social engineering bypasses firewalls, EDR, and MFA by exploiting psychology, urgency, and trust.

Easier Than Hacking

Why spend weeks finding a 0-day when one convincing email gets instant access? Social engineering offers the path of least resistance.

Bypasses Technology

No firewall blocks a phone call. No EDR stops a tailgated entry. No MFA prevents a user from willingly sharing credentials.

Exploits Psychology

Authority, urgency, fear, greed—these psychological triggers override security training when crafted skillfully.

Growing Threat Vector

BEC (Business Email Compromise) attacks increased 81% in 2023, with average losses of $50,000 per incident (FBI IC3).

High Success Rate

Without training, 30-40% of employees click phishing links. Even with training, 10-15% still fall victim (KnowBe4 data).

Everyone Is a Target

From CEOs to interns, attackers tailor approaches based on role, authority, and access to valuable systems or data.

Comprehensive Social Engineering Testing

Multi-vector human security assessments across digital, voice, and physical attack surfaces.

Email Phishing Campaigns

Realistic phishing emails with tracked opens, clicks, and credential submissions. Detailed per-user and per-department metrics.

Spear Phishing

Highly targeted attacks against executives, finance teams, or high-value individuals using researched, personalized pretexts.

Vishing (Voice Phishing)

Phone-based social engineering testing help desk procedures, password resets, and employee verification processes.

Pretexting Scenarios

Fabricated scenarios to extract sensitive information: IT support, vendor relationships, internal transfers, or emergencies.

Physical Social Engineering

On-site testing including tailgating, badge cloning, unauthorized access attempts, and physical security validation.

USB Drop Testing

Strategic placement of USB devices with payloads to test employee response to found media and removable storage policies.

Assessment Methodology

Structured, ethical approach to identifying and improving human security vulnerabilities.

Phase 1

Scoping & Planning

1 week

Define target users, departments, realistic threat scenarios, and campaign objectives. Establish rules of engagement and approval processes.

Phase 2

Campaign Development

1 week

Create realistic phishing templates, pretext scenarios, and attack infrastructure. Tailor content to your industry, company culture, and threat landscape.

Phase 3

Campaign Execution

2-4 weeks

Launch controlled campaigns with real-time monitoring. Track user responses, credential submissions, and security team detection capabilities.

Phase 4

Analysis & Reporting

1 week

Comprehensive analysis of results by user, department, and attack vector. Identify vulnerable groups and high-risk behaviors requiring attention.

Phase 5

Remediation Guidance

Ongoing

Detailed recommendations for security awareness training, policy updates, and follow-up campaigns to measure improvement over time.

What You Receive

Detailed reporting with actionable insights to strengthen your security awareness program and reduce human-related risk.
