Help people practise the response you need during a real phishing attempt.

Use a controlled, approved exercise to reinforce recognition, reporting, and follow-through without fear or public shaming.

A business leader and security specialist planning a safe awareness exercise

Practise the behaviour you want during a real event

An awareness campaign should help people recognize suspicious messages, use the correct reporting path, and understand what happens next. We plan exercises with authorized stakeholders and avoid tactics that create unnecessary fear or humiliation.

What the program can measure

  • Delivery and interaction patterns
  • Use of the approved reporting path
  • Response coordination and follow-through
  • Themes that need clearer guidance or technical safeguards

Campaign results are interpreted in context. A simulation does not measure every aspect of employee judgment or prove that future attempts will be stopped.

What happens first

  1. Agree on purpose and safeguards

    Confirm audience, approvals, scenario boundaries, data handling, communications, and support contacts.

  2. Run the exercise

    Deliver the approved simulation and monitor reporting and operational response.

  3. Learn and improve

    Review aggregate patterns, reinforce the reporting path, and identify practical follow-up.

Questions customers ask

Scope, responsibilities, and expectations are confirmed before work begins.

Will individual employees be publicly identified?

Campaign design should avoid public shaming. Individual-level handling, if required, must be agreed with authorized stakeholders and appropriate policies.

Does a good result prove employees will stop every attempt?

No. A simulation measures selected behaviours in one controlled exercise and does not predict every future situation.

Can we practise the internal response too?

Yes. The exercise can include the approved reporting route, triage, escalation, communications, and follow-up.

Want awareness training people can use?

Start with the reporting behaviour and response process you want the exercise to reinforce.
