Automated Phishing Simulation
Continuously test employee readiness with controlled phishing simulations tailored by role, threat theme and maturity.
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.
Technology is implemented as an operating capability: architecture, integration, governance, assurance, people, procedures and measurable outcomes are designed together.
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.
How the capability fits together
Final topology, control placement and deployment model are validated during discovery and detailed design.
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
Phased delivery
Each phase ends with evidence, acceptance criteria and a decision gate before broader scale-out.
