Social Engineering

Your people are your perimeter. Are they ready?

Test your human firewall.

Custom Framework

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.

1

Intelligence Gathering

We research your organization using OSINT techniques—the same methods real attackers use to craft convincing pretexts.

2

Scenario Development

We design realistic attack scenarios tailored to your industry, organization, and threat landscape.

3

Campaign Execution

We execute campaigns with careful timing and monitoring, tracking engagement metrics and capturing evidence.

4

Results Analysis

We analyze response patterns, identify vulnerable departments or roles, and quantify your human risk.

5

Training Recommendations

We provide specific recommendations to improve security awareness and reduce susceptibility.

What You Get

Our social engineering reports go beyond click rates. We provide actionable intelligence to improve your security culture.

Campaign Results Report

Risk Analysis

Assessment of organizational susceptibility with comparisons to industry benchmarks and previous assessments.

Department Breakdown

Analysis of which teams or roles showed highest susceptibility, enabling targeted training investments.

Scenario Documentation

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.
