What is a Social Engineering Assessment & Why do I Need One?

The human factor is often seen to be at the center of data breaches and security related incidents. With our Social Engineering Assessments we'll put your people to the test. Many organisations will just perform Email Phishing Assessments, but in today's ever changing world this is not enough. Adversaries are constantly changing their Social Engineering tactics to include not only Email Phishing, but also SMS Phishing and Voice Phishing, and so we do the same!

Right from the start we'll recommend what we believe will be the most effective security assessment types for your specific organisation, and then we'll work with you to build out specific Phishing campaigns tailored to your needs. With our state of the art Phishing Infrastructure, we can provide up-to date metrics on each step of the Phishing campaigns, identifying weak points within your personel.

A Social Engineering Assessment provides several benefits:

User Education

Social engineering assessments raise awareness among users about the various tactics employed by malicious actors. This education empowers individuals to recognize and resist social engineering attempts, fostering a more security-conscious culture.

Vulnerability Identification

Assessments uncover potential vulnerabilities in human behavior and the organization's communication channels. By simulating social engineering attacks, weaknesses in employee response and susceptibility to manipulation can be identified and addressed.

Risk Mitigation

Social engineering assessments provide insights into the organization's susceptibility to phishing attacks, helping to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security incidents resulting from human error.

Compliance Adherence

Some regulatory frameworks require organizations to assess and address human-related security risks. Social engineering assessments aid in demonstrating compliance with these requirements, ensuring that security measures extend beyond technology to include human factors.

IR Preparedness

Simulating social engineering attacks, such as email phishing, helps organizations evaluate their incident response capabilities. This includes the ability to detect and respond to phishing attempts promptly and effectively.

Threat Simulations

Social engineering assessments can be tailored to replicate specific threats that an organization may face. This allows for a more realistic evaluation of the organization's resilience against targeted attacks, including those leveraging email, SMS, or voice communication channels.

Technology and Process

Beyond assessing individual behavior, social engineering assessments evaluate the effectiveness of technical controls and organizational processes in place to prevent and respond to social engineering attacks. This includes email filtering, endpoint protection, and incident response procedures.

Continuous Improvement

Regular social engineering assessments contribute to a continuous improvement cycle. Organizations can learn from the results of each assessment, refine their security awareness programs, and update policies and procedures to address emerging social engineering threats.
