Social Engineering Assessment

Service Overview

We perform Social Engineering Assessments to evaluate your organization's resilience against manipulation-based attacks. Our security professionals simulate real-world social engineering scenarios — including phishing, vishing, pretexting, and physical intrusion attempts — to identify human vulnerabilities in your security posture. We then provide clear remediation guidance to strengthen your people-centric defenses.

What Is a Social Engineering Assessment?

A Social Engineering Assessment is an authorized, controlled simulation of manipulation-based attacks targeting an organization's employees and processes. It evaluates how well staff can identify and respond to deceptive tactics such as phishing emails, fraudulent phone calls, impersonation attempts, and physical security bypasses. The assessment reveals gaps in security awareness, policy enforcement, and incident response procedures.

What Do We Test?

We perform comprehensive testing across key social engineering attack vectors, including

Phishing Campaigns

Targeted email-based attacks to test employee awareness and response to fraudulent messages.

Vishing (Voice Phishing)

Phone-based social engineering attempts to extract sensitive information from employees.

Pretexting Scenarios

Fabricated scenarios designed to manipulate employees into revealing confidential data.

Physical Security Testing

Attempts to bypass physical access controls through tailgating, impersonation, and badge cloning.

Credential Harvesting

Simulated attacks targeting login credentials through fake portals and deceptive forms.

USB Drop Testing

Placing baited USB devices to test whether employees connect unknown media to corporate systems.

Spear Phishing

Highly targeted phishing attacks using publicly available information about specific individuals.

Impersonation Attacks

Posing as trusted entities — vendors, executives, or IT support — to gain unauthorized access.
