Testing the
Human Firewall
The human element is often the weakest link in security. Our social engineering engagements simulate real world threat actors who target your people, not just your technology. We test how well your employees, processes, and procedures hold up under real pressure.
Engagement Types
Simulate email based attacks targeting employees across your organisation. We craft convincing phishing emails that test awareness, training effectiveness, and email security controls - tailored to specific departments, roles, or threat scenarios.
Test your help desk, support staff, and employees' ability to resist phone based social engineering. We simulate attackers attempting to extract information, reset passwords, or gain unauthorised access via voice.
Assess vulnerability to SMS based attacks, which increasingly bypass traditional email security controls. We test how employees respond to text messages containing malicious links or requests for sensitive information.
Focus on high risk areas including help desks, IT support, engineering teams, and executive assistants. These roles carry elevated privileges and are consistently targeted by real world attackers.
Evaluate hiring processes for social engineering vulnerabilities. Attackers often target recruitment to gain initial access or gather intelligence. We test how well HR teams verify identities and protect sensitive information.
Assess the security of password reset and account recovery processes. We test whether attackers can manipulate these critical security functions to gain unauthorised access through social engineering techniques.
The Human Layer
Technical controls alone cannot stop a determined attacker who targets your people. Social engineering is consistently one of the most effective attack vectors because it exploits human psychology rather than software vulnerabilities.
By regularly testing your employees' resilience to phishing, vishing, and other manipulation techniques, you identify weaknesses in your human defences before real attackers do, and build a culture where security awareness becomes a genuine line of defence.
Our social engineering engagements integrate naturally with red team exercises and penetration testing for comprehensive coverage.
