Social Engineering
Your people are your perimeter. Are they ready?
Test your human firewall.
Testing Options
Test your organization's human firewall with realistic social engineering assessments. We evaluate employee susceptibility to phishing, vishing, pretexting, and physical social engineering attacks to identify training gaps and improve security awareness.
Phishing Campaigns
Realistic email phishing simulations that test employee recognition of malicious messages, credential harvesting, and malware delivery attempts.
Vishing (Voice Phishing)
Phone-based social engineering to test susceptibility to pretexting, credential disclosure, and unauthorized information sharing.
SMS Phishing
Text message-based attacks testing employee response to malicious links and credential requests via mobile devices.
Pretexting Scenarios
Complex social engineering scenarios combining multiple attack vectors with developed personas and backstories.
Physical Social Engineering
On-site attempts to gain unauthorized access through tailgating, impersonation, and manipulation of employees.
How We Work
Effective social engineering testing requires careful planning, realistic scenarios, and—most importantly—a learning-focused approach. We're not here to shame employees; we're here to build a security-aware culture.
Intelligence Gathering
We research your organization using OSINT techniques—the same methods real attackers use to craft convincing pretexts.
Scenario Development
We design realistic attack scenarios tailored to your industry, organization, and threat landscape.
Campaign Execution
We execute campaigns with careful timing and monitoring, tracking engagement metrics and capturing evidence.
Results Analysis
We analyze response patterns, identify vulnerable departments or roles, and quantify your human risk.
Training Recommendations
We provide specific recommendations to improve security awareness and reduce susceptibility.

Full documentation of pretexts, emails, and techniques used—useful for security awareness training.
Training Recommendations
Specific recommendations for security awareness improvements based on observed vulnerabilities.
Trend Analysis
For ongoing engagements, we track improvement over time and adjust difficulty to match maturing awareness.
Why Breach Craft for Social Engineering
Education, Not Humiliation
We believe in teachable moments, not gotcha games. Our approach builds security culture without damaging trust or morale.
Realistic Scenarios
Our pretexts are crafted using real OSINT on your organization. If it wouldn't fool us, we don't use it.
Multi-Vector Testing
Email, phone, SMS, physical—we test across channels because real attackers don't limit themselves to one approach.
Compliance Alignment
Many frameworks require social engineering testing. We document results in formats that satisfy PCI, HIPAA, and SOC 2 requirements.
Measurable Improvement
Through ongoing campaigns, we track your organization's security awareness maturity with quantifiable metrics.
Common Questions
Will employees know they're being tested?
That's your choice. Some organizations announce testing windows; others keep it confidential for realistic results. We recommend communicating that testing occurs but not when—this maintains realism while setting expectations.
What happens when an employee clicks?
They typically see an educational landing page explaining what happened and what to look for. We never install malware or access real credentials. The goal is learning, not punishment.
How do you craft phishing emails?
We research your organization, vendors, and industry to create realistic scenarios. Common pretexts include IT password resets, HR benefits updates, vendor invoices, and executive requests. We tailor difficulty to your program maturity.
Can you test specific departments?
Absolutely. We can focus on high-risk roles like finance, executive assistants, or IT. We can also vary difficulty by department—harder scenarios for security-adjacent teams, baseline scenarios for others.
How often should we conduct phishing tests?
We recommend quarterly campaigns for most organizations. Monthly testing works for high-risk environments or those building security culture. Annual testing is minimum for compliance but insufficient for real improvement.
