Social Engineering Assessments

cimply tests your people, your processes and your culture against the kinds of social engineering attacks businesses face every day. The findings are confidential, the learning is fast and the controls get sharper.

The Business Challenge

Technology controls can be perfect and a single phone call still gets the wrong outcome.

Phishing, pretexting and impersonation succeed when busy people make a reasonable decision based on incomplete information. Testing exposes those patterns in safe conditions.

What’s included

  • Threat-informed scenarios

    Tests built on the tactics really used against businesses like yours, from financial impersonation to supplier fraud.

  • Targeted reconnaissance

    What an attacker could learn from public sources, mapped for your business and used to inform realistic scenarios.

  • Continuous testing and awareness

    Regular campaigns and short, targeted training through the year, so people keep getting better at spotting and reporting.

  • Phishing campaigns

    Targeted email campaigns measured for click rate, credential capture, payload execution and reporting behaviour.

  • Voice and SMS pretexting

    Phone and SMS-based attacks tested where appropriate, with the rigour and ethics required.

  • Physical social engineering

    On-site testing of tailgating, visitor management and physical access controls, where in scope.

  • Reporting culture measurement

    How quickly users report a suspicious message is often more telling than how many click. Both are measured.

  • Debrief and education

    Targeted, kind, useful education for users who engaged, focused on what to do differently next time.

  • Leadership reporting

    Findings reported at the right level for executives and the right level for technical teams, without conflating the two.

Why it matters

  • Patterns become visible. Departments, scenarios and message types that succeed are identified specifically, so training lands where it matters.
  • Reporting culture improves. Measuring report rates as well as click rates shifts the conversation from blame to action.
  • Process gaps get closed. Many social engineering successes are really process failures. The assessment surfaces those, in time to fix them.
  • Leadership gets a true picture. Reporting is honest, useful and not designed to flatter. The business sees what it actually looks like.
  • Confidence grows over time. Repeated, well-designed testing leads to measurable improvement. The business gets better at recognising and reporting the things that matter.

  • No. Testing is non-punitive by design. The point is to learn, not to embarrass, and the reporting reflects that.
