Overview

What Is Social Engineering Testing?

Social engineering testing consists of controlled simulated attacks that exploit human vulnerabilities rather than technical ones. Our assessments test your organization's resilience against manipulation via phone calls, emails, help desk interactions, and web chat channels. The goal is to evaluate security awareness across your entire workforce and identify gaps in verification procedures that attackers could exploit to gain unauthorized access to systems and information.

Why Do You Need Social Engineering Testing?

Your staff are the first line of defense against cyber attacks, and attackers know this. Social engineering is a rapidly growing attack vector, with threat actors increasingly calling organizations directly to manipulate employees into revealing sensitive information or granting unauthorized access. Testing your human layer is essential because even the strongest technical controls can be bypassed through a single successful social engineering attack.

Attack Vectors We Test

Social engineering assessments reveal how well your organization's human layer resists social engineering attempts across multiple attack vectors.

Vishing — phone-based social engineering attacks
Pretexting — impersonation to gain trust and information
Baiting — enticing targets with attractive or malicious offers
Help desk manipulation — testing support staff procedures
Tailgating — following authorized personnel into secured areas
Executive impersonation — posing as senior executives
Methodology

Our Methodology

Social engineering tests replicate the techniques used by real-world attackers against your people and processes — phone calls, emails, help-desk requests, and on-site social engineering attempts. Every scenario is agreed with you in advance so the exercise is realistic, safe, and actionable.

Scoping & Rules of Engagement

The teams and channels in scope (phone, email, chat, help desk, on-site), the topics that are explicitly off-limits, and the designated emergency contacts are agreed up front. This keeps the exercise realistic without putting anyone at risk or disrupting business operations.

Testing Lifecycle

Every social engineering engagement follows a clear lifecycle — from researching what an attacker could learn about you, through building realistic scenarios and executing them safely, to a full debrief that turns the findings into practical training and process improvements.
