Human Security

Securing
people's view of Security. Human risk. Managed.

No firewall stops a well-crafted pretext. Your people are both your greatest vulnerability and your strongest defence — we help you shift the balance through rigorous testing, immersive simulation, and targeted training.

WHY HUMAN SECURITY
TESTING MATTERS

Technology alone cannot protect your organisation. The most sophisticated firewall in the world will not stop an employee who hands over their credentials to a convincing impersonator. Your people are the most targeted layer of your defences — and the most overlooked.

Security awareness training raises baseline knowledge — but knowledge and behaviour are different things. Regular simulation and testing is the only way to understand how your people actually respond under real attacker pressure, and to target training where it will have the most impact.

Regulatory requirements, including GDPR, Cyber Essentials, and sector-specific standards such as PCI DSS and ISO 27001, increasingly mandate demonstrable staff security awareness programmes. Human risk quantification provides the evidence your board and auditors need.

74%
of Breaches Involve the Human Element
Whether through phishing, social engineering, credential theft, or misconfiguration, people are implicated in the overwhelming majority of successful attacks (Verizon DBIR 2024).
#1
Phishing is the Leading Initial Access Vector
Phishing and social engineering are consistently cited as the primary method by which attackers gain initial access. No technical control eliminates this risk — only aware, trained, vigilant people do.

Higher Breach Cost Without Security Training
Organisations without mature security awareness programmes suffer significantly higher breach costs — and longer dwell times — than those that invest in their people.
82%
of Staff Haven't Been Tested in the Last Year
The majority of organisations either don't simulate phishing and social engineering attacks, or do so infrequently. Untested staff are unprepared staff — and attackers know it.

OUR METHODOLOGY

We treat human security the same way we treat technical security — with rigour, evidence, and measurable outcomes.

01

Reconnaissance & Profiling

OSINT-driven profiling of your organisation's human attack surface — identifying high-value targets, communication patterns, and exploitable relationships before an attacker does.

02

Threat Simulation

Realistic, scenario-based attack simulations calibrated to your threat model — from opportunistic phishing campaigns to targeted spear-phishing against executives.

03

Measurement & Analysis

Granular metrics on susceptibility, reporting rates, and response behaviour — mapped against industry benchmarks and your own historical baseline.

04

Targeted Remediation

Bespoke training interventions for identified cohorts — reinforcing correct behaviour at the moment it matters, without broad-brush compliance fatigue.

05

Continuous Improvement

Ongoing simulation programmes that evolve alongside your threat landscape — keeping your people sharp against the latest adversary techniques.

WHY LEVANTIS CYBER

01

Practitioners, Not Trainers

Our team are active offensive security specialists. The people who brief your executives and simulate attacks against your staff are the same people who conduct real adversary simulations — not off-the-shelf training providers.

02

Threat-Informed Scenarios

Every simulation is built from current threat intelligence. We don't recycle generic phishing templates — we craft scenarios based on the actual adversaries targeting your sector right now.

03

Measurable Outcomes

Behaviour change, not box-ticking. We baseline your human risk before engagement and measure it after — delivering metrics that speak to your board and drive genuine security improvement.

04

Ongoing Partnership

Human security is not a one-time exercise. We build continuous simulation programmes that evolve with your threat landscape — keeping your people sharp against the latest adversary techniques.

TRAINED AGAINST
REAL ADVERSARIES

Our consultants continuously research and train against the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) employed by today's most capable cyber threat actors - including nation-state groups, ransomware operators, and advanced cybercriminal organisations.

By aligning our assessments to real-world adversary behaviour and the MITRE ATT&CK framework, we help organisations understand how well their people, processes and technology would perform against modern threats.
