EBP Integra — Enterprise Technology, Digital Trust & Strategic Protection
Service / Human Risk Management

Automated Phishing Simulation

Continuously test employee readiness with controlled phishing simulations tailored by role, threat theme and maturity.

Business context

What this capability solves

Knowledge tests cannot reproduce the pressure and context of real social engineering. Safe simulations provide behavioral evidence and create a feedback loop for targeted coaching.

EBP Integra delivery principle

Technology is implemented as an operating capability: architecture, integration, governance, assurance, people, procedures and measurable outcomes are designed together.

Deep-dive capabilities

Capability model

Modular building blocks allow the scope to start with a focused pilot and expand into an enterprise operating model.

Campaign Design

Define objectives, audience, difficulty, scenario and safe operating rules.

Template Library

Local/global scenarios for credential phishing, invoices, HR, collaboration, cloud, QR and executive impersonation.

Adaptive Difficulty

Increase or decrease challenge based on prior behavior and programme maturity.

Safe Instrumentation

Track delivery, interaction, reporting and training follow-up without collecting unnecessary secrets.

Instant Learning

Provide contextual education immediately after risky interaction where appropriate.

Repeat-Risk Workflow

Assign targeted coaching to employees with recurring high-risk simulation outcomes.

Reference architecture

How the capability fits together

Final topology, control placement and deployment model are validated during discovery and detailed design.

People & Identity
Employee/contractor population, role, department, risk context, identity and organizational hierarchy.
Behavioral Risk Engine
Assessment, phishing outcomes, learning behavior, policy status, exposure signals and risk scoring.
Engagement & Intervention
AI-personalized coaching, microlearning, phishing simulations, campaigns, policy actions and workshops.
Management & Evidence
Dashboards, risk trends, compliance evidence, integrations, escalations and continuous improvement backlog.

Controls & governance

  • Data minimization and role-based access
  • Transparent purpose and acceptable monitoring boundaries
  • No punitive use of risk scores without governance
  • False-positive and contextual review for behavioral indicators
  • Controlled phishing rules and safe landing pages
  • Policy/e-sign evidence integrity
  • Retention limits for learning and simulation records
  • Escalation for exposed credentials or high-risk patterns
  • Management reporting focused on risk reduction, not surveillance

Priority use cases

  • Quarterly phishing programme
  • BEC readiness
  • Executive impersonation
  • QR phishing
  • Credential theft readiness
  • New-joiner baseline

Key deliverables

  • Simulation plan
  • Scenario/template library
  • Campaign configuration
  • Results dashboard
  • Risk segmentation
  • Follow-up coaching plan

Integration considerations

  • HRIS / employee directory
  • Google Workspace / Microsoft 365
  • SSO / identity provider
  • E-mail and approved chat channels
  • SIEM/SOC or security operations
  • GRC/policy repository
  • Ticketing/workflow platform
  • API/MCP integration layer
Implementation

Phased delivery

Each phase ends with evidence, acceptance criteria and a decision gate before broader scale-out.

1. BaselineImport population, assess maturity, establish human-risk baseline and segment priority groups.
2. PersonalizeConfigure learning, phishing, policy and intervention pathways based on role and risk.
3. EngageRun chat-native coaching, simulations, campaigns and culture activities in normal work channels.
4. MeasureTrack risk score, learning, simulation outcomes, policy completion and exposure signals.
5. ImproveTarget repeat-risk populations, refine content and controls, and report progress to management.
