Social Engineering
& Phishing
Bespoke phishing, vishing, and pretexting campaigns that test the human layer of your security — the most consistently exploited attack vector in real-world breaches.
The majority of real-world breaches begin with a human — a clicked link, a disclosed credential, or a helpful employee who provides access to the wrong person. Technical controls alone cannot address this. Our social engineering assessments are designed to measure the real-world resilience of your staff to targeted manipulation.
Every campaign is bespoke — built from open-source intelligence gathered on your organisation, not generic phishing simulations fired from an off-the-shelf platform. We operate the same way a real threat actor would: researching, tailoring, and delivering attacks that are genuinely difficult to detect.
The goal is not to embarrass staff who click links — it is to give your security team accurate data on where human controls are failing, so you can prioritise training, process improvements, and technical mitigations that actually reduce risk.
OSINT & Target Profiling
Passive intelligence gathering on your organisation, staff, and supply chain using public sources — LinkedIn, Companies House, job boards, social media, leaked databases, and exposed documents — to build realistic pretexts before any contact is made.
Campaign Design & Infrastructure
Design of targeted spear-phishing emails crafted to bypass email security controls, along with deployment of lookalike domains, aged infrastructure, and credential capture portals using reputation-building techniques to evade URL filtering.
Phishing Campaign Execution
Controlled delivery of phishing campaigns with real-time tracking of opens, clicks, credential submissions, and any downstream actions. Campaigns can target credentials, malware payload delivery, or specific user actions depending on scope.
Vishing & Pretexting
Targeted telephone-based social engineering using realistic pretexts — IT support, supplier impersonation, executive impersonation — to elicit sensitive information, MFA codes, or specific actions from staff over the phone.
Smishing & Multi-Channel
SMS-based phishing campaigns where in scope, including two-factor authentication bypass scenarios. Multi-channel campaigns that combine email, SMS, and voice for maximum realism against targeted individuals.
Payload Delivery & Post-Exploitation
Where agreed, delivery of simulated malware payloads or remote access tools to demonstrate the downstream impact of a successful phish — including persistence, credential access, and lateral movement from the initial victim machine.
Reporting & Awareness Guidance
Detailed breakdown of campaign results by department, role, seniority, and action taken — with contextual recommendations for security awareness training, technical controls, and process improvements.
We don't use commodity phishing platforms — we build bespoke infrastructure and campaigns for every engagement. Our pretexts are grounded in real intelligence about your organisation, making them far more realistic and revealing than generic simulations.
We treat social engineering findings with the same rigour as technical vulnerabilities — risk-rated, evidenced, and paired with specific recommendations. We work with your security awareness team to translate findings into effective training.
