Phishing Simulation
Phishing simulations test how well teams recognize, report, and respond to email threats. They do not replace awareness programs, but provide measurable real-world signals and training priorities.
Quick overview
| What you get | Who it fits | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Repeatable simulations with reporting | Organizations with email risk, customer exposure, remote work | 2-6 weeks setup, then cyclical |
3 decision anchors
- Measurable: click rate, reporting rate, time-to-report.
- Legally safe: clear communication, no blame culture.
- Actionable: results drive targeted training.
Fit / Not a fit
Fit if …
- You need real behavioral data, not just training completion.
- You want to improve reporting channels and responses.
- You want risk insights by team or role.
Not a fit if …
- There is no internal comms or privacy approval.
- Results are intended for penalties.
- No follow-up training is planned.
Process (3 steps)
- Scope and preparation Target groups, scenarios, communication framing, consent/privacy.
- Campaign Delivery, monitoring, optional landing feedback, no shaming.
- Review and training KPI report, learning modules, adjust next cycle.
Deliverables
- Results report (click, report rate, time-to-report)
- Target group analysis
- Training and comms recommendations
- Lessons learned for next waves
Limits and trade-offs
- Simulations measure email behavior only.
- Overly aggressive campaigns can reduce trust.
- No sustainable impact without follow-up.
Next steps
- Define target groups and KPIs
- Align with privacy/HR
