Our Social Engineering Assessments Services provide a comprehensive evaluation of your organization’s vulnerability to social engineering attacks. We simulate real-world scenarios to assess how well your employees can recognize and respond to various social engineering techniques. By identifying weaknesses in human defenses, we enable you to implement targeted training and security measures that strengthen your overall security posture. Whether you aim to enhance employee awareness, comply with regulatory requirements, or prevent costly security breaches, our social engineering assessments offer the insights and strategies necessary to protect your organization from manipulation and deception.

1. Simulated Phishing Attacks:

• Email Phishing Simulations: Conduct realistic phishing campaigns to assess employees’ ability to identify and respond to deceptive emails.
• Spear Phishing Tests: Target specific individuals or departments with tailored phishing attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of your organization’s defenses against personalized attacks.

2. Pretexting and Impersonation Tests:

• Telephone Pretexting: Simulate phone-based social engineering attempts to assess employees’ vigilance and adherence to verification protocols.
• In-Person Impersonation: Conduct on-site tests where assessors pose as trusted individuals to evaluate physical security measures and employee responses.

3. Vishing and Smishing Simulations:

• Vishing (Voice Phishing): Simulate voice-based attacks to assess employees’ ability to recognize and respond to fraudulent phone calls.
• Smishing (SMS Phishing): Test the susceptibility of employees to text message-based phishing attempts, ensuring awareness of mobile security threats.

4. Baiting and Tailgating Exercises:

• Baiting Scenarios: Implement baiting techniques, such as leaving infected USB drives, to evaluate employees’ response to unsolicited physical media.
• Tailgating Assessments: Test the effectiveness of access control measures by attempting unauthorized entry alongside authorized personnel.

5. Security Awareness Training:

• Customized Training Programs: Develop and deliver targeted training sessions based on assessment findings to educate employees on recognizing and mitigating social engineering threats.
