What is Phishing Simulation?

Phishing Simulation is a controlled and repeatable exercise that emulates real-world social-engineering threats. It tests employee behaviour, reporting workflows and detection mechanisms to identify gaps that adversaries exploit. ISECURION’s approach blends technical rigour with human factors research to provide measurable reductions in employee susceptibility and stronger organisational resilience.

Why it matters

Social engineering remains responsible for a large share of breaches across industries. While technical controls are essential, they must be complemented by a vigilant workforce. Regular, threat-informed phishing simulations demonstrate where investments in awareness, detection and process improvement will yield the most reduction in risk.

Business outcomes

Enterprises that adopt continuous phishing simulation typically see measurable improvement in reporting rates, a decline in successful simulated credential theft, and stronger SOC detection tuning. These outcomes translate into fewer incidents, shorter investigation timelines and lower cost per incident.

Scope of Work

What We Assess

Enterprise Email Phishing

Mass and targeted email campaigns, domain spoofing checks, detection and link analysis, and safe credential-harvesting simulations for SaaS/SSO portals.

Spear-Phishing for Executives

High fidelity, bespoke scenarios against leadership and privileged users with strict approvals and ROE, focused on targeted threats such as BEC.

Vishing & Smishing

Voice/SMS social engineering to evaluate mobile channel exposure and enterprise reporting behavior for mobile-based threats.

Role-Based Exposure

Assess risk by role and department - finance, HR, procurement, IT admins to prioritise training and controls where it matters most.

Third-Party & Vendor Risk

Assess vendor-facing channels and supplier exposure to social-engineering that could pivot to the organisation.

Metrics & Reporting

Detailed metrics: click rate, report rate, credential submission rate, repeat failures, susceptibility index and time-series trends.

Every scope item is performed under a documented Rules of Engagement (ROE), with opt-out lists for sensitive personnel and strict evidence-handling procedures.
Methodology

How We Execute

Recon & Threat Modelling

Controlled OSINT and threat modelling using current TTPs to craft realistic lures mapped to MITRE ATT&CK techniques.

Campaign Design & Approvals

Templates, timelines and pre-send checks with executive sign-off (ROE) to protect continuity and legal compliance.

Controlled Execution

Safe sends, encrypted capture endpoints, and immediate containment for mistaken credential submissions.

Analysis & Remediation

Executive dashboards, SOC playbook tuning, role-based remediation and targeted micro-training to close gaps.

Pre-Engagement

Define scope, exclusions, stakeholder matrix and legal approvals. Establish opt-out lists and data-handling rules.

Pilot & Validate

Run pilots for critical cohorts, validate SOC alerts and contain any accidental exposures; then expand roll-out.

Continuous Improvement

Iterate campaigns, update templates with new threat intel and measure uplift through KPI trends.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions on Phishing Simulation

A controlled exercise that emulates phishing attacks to measure employee response, reporting behaviour and SOC readiness without exposing the organisation to real-world risk.

Yes. We operate under a Rules of Engagement (ROE) agreed with stakeholders and legal counsel. Sensitive employees are excluded and evidence is handled securely.

Continuous programs run monthly micro-campaigns with quarterly comprehensive reporting. Frequency can be adapted by risk cohort.

Our recommended approach is coaching and targeted training, not punitive measures. Organisations may define HR policies separately.

Yes, role-based micro-learning, quizzes, and LMS-integrated modules are supplied to remediate identified weaknesses.

Credential capture is performed on isolated, encrypted endpoints with immediate containment and no storage of plaintext credentials.

Yes. Voice and SMS channels are available to evaluate mobile risk and reporting behaviour.

Campaigns can be segmented by role, business unit or legal jurisdiction to align with policy constraints and risk focus.

Results are distributed via executive summaries, technical evidence packs and an interactive dashboard for authorised users.

CTR, report rate, susceptibility index, repeat failures, mean time to detect for simulated incidents and remediation completion.

Onboarding typically takes 1 - 2 weeks for pilots and 2 - 4 weeks for larger rollouts depending on integrations and approvals.

Yes. We offer connector-based exports and API integrations to forward events to SIEMs, assign training in LMS and map users in HR systems.

All personal data is protected under contractual safeguards, encrypted in transit and at rest, with retention policies agreed with clients.

Yes, deliverables include compliance mapping for ISO 27001, SOC 2 and privacy frameworks to support auditors and attestations.
