You have no real number on how your team responds.
Training was done, posters went up — but you’ve never measured what happens when a convincing, tailored message actually lands. You’re guessing at your biggest risk.
Phishing & social engineering testing
We design phishing campaigns around your actual organization — your people, processes, and tools — to measure how your team responds to a realistic targeted attack, not a generic template they’d spot in a second.
Trusted by
Sound familiar?
Your last phishing test was too obvious to mean anything.
A mass "update your password" email everyone ignored proves nothing. Real attackers research your company first — a test that doesn’t isn’t testing the threat you actually face.
Someone clicked, and now leadership wants answers.
A real phishing email got through. You need to understand how it succeeded, who’s exposed, and whether the next one will land too — backed by an independent assessment, not internal guesswork.
An audit or framework requires a social-engineering test.
SOC 2, ISO 27001, or a sector regulator now expects evidence of phishing resilience testing. You need a documented, independent campaign and report that satisfies the requirement.
A customer wants proof your people can’t be phished into their data.
As their vendor, you hold access to their environment or data. Their security team wants evidence your staff resists targeted phishing — before they’ll trust you with it.
You don’t know if your team would report an attack.
Clicking is half the picture. The question that matters is whether someone raises the alarm fast enough for your SOC to react — and you’ve never put that to the test.
The cost of inaction
68%
of breaches involve a human element — phishing remains the most common way into an organization, across every industry and size.
Under 60 sec
is the median time for a user to click a phishing link and hand over credentials once a convincing, well-timed message lands.
1 reply
is enough. It takes one person, one tailored message, one credential — and the strength of your firewalls stops mattering.
What you should test
Targeted campaigns built around how your people actually work — to measure both who falls for it and who reports it.
Targeted spear-phishing
Messages crafted for specific individuals or teams using real context — names, tools, projects, and timing an attacker would research — to test resilience against a believable, personalized attack.
Business-pretext scenarios
Full scenarios mirroring your actual processes (an invoice approval, an IT migration, an HR or vendor request) to test whether a plausible business story bypasses suspicion.

Real structure, real findings, real format. The same documents your team and your auditors will see.
Interim Urgent Report
When we find Critical, you find out today.
If we discover a Critical-severity vulnerability mid-engagement that needs immediate attention, you get an alert with reproduction steps and recommended actions. We keep testing, you start remediating in parallel. No waiting until the final report.
For
Your engineering team, your CTO
Technical Report
Prioritized findings your engineers can act on the same day.
Every vulnerability with reproduction steps, proof-of-concept exploitation, business impact, and a prioritized remediation roadmap. No false-positives. No filler. Built so your developers know exactly what to fix and in what order.

Your engineers, your CTO, your security team
Executive Summary
What the board and investors actually need to know.
A business-language report covering the security posture of your perimeter, the risks identified, their potential business impact, and the path to remediation. Written for CEOs, boards, investors, and Enterprise procurement teams — not engineers.
For
Your CEO, your board, investors, M&A counterparties, and your customers
Retest Report
Verified evidence that the fixes actually work.
After your team remediates the findings, we re-test each one and confirm the fixes hold under the same exploitation attempts. The updated report is your proof that the vulnerabilities are actually closed — not just patched on paper.
For
Your auditors, your Enterprise customers
Security Certificate
A public-facing artifact you can share with customers and prospects.
After remediation and retest, we issue an official certificate confirming your external perimeter passed deep manual penetration testing. Use it on your website, in security questionnaires, in Enterprise sales conversations — the artifact your prospects and procurement teams want to see.

The principles behind it
Manual hacking
Scanners run only as a baseline. Every finding is hand-built and verified by a senior engineer — exploited and chained manually, with your perimeter's context in mind.
Cyclical, not linear
Each finding feeds the next. New access reveals new attack surface. We loop back, dig deeper, and chain — until we reach the deepest impact your architecture allows.
Business impact, not a bug list
A list of CVEs doesn't tell you what an attacker would actually do to your business. We translate every finding into a real-world scenario — what gets compromised, who loses what, and how the chain unfolds.
Senior engineers only
No juniors learning on your environment, no outsourced backfill, no swapping engineers mid-engagement. Every engagement is run by senior offensive engineers with deep external infrastructure and adversary-simulation experience.
Quality over speed
We're not a conveyor optimizing for throughput. We take fewer engagements at a time and go deep on each — that's the trade-off.
Do no harm
All testing happens under signed Rules of Engagement. High-risk actions on production are coordinated with you in advance. Critical findings trigger an immediate alert — no surprises, no broken environments.
Actionable findings, zero false-positives
Every finding is verified, prioritized, and documented with reproduction steps and remediation guidance. Your engineers know exactly what to fix first — and they don't waste a day on noise.
Engineer-to-engineer communication
Direct access to our engineers throughout the engagement. No sales translators, no project managers gatekeeping technical detail.
Hacking as a craft
We hire engineers who hack on their own time — for research, for CTFs, for the love of the craft. Our team treats every engagement as a challenge to solve, not a ticket to close.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a generic phishing-simulation tool?
Off-the-shelf tools send templated emails at scale; a real attacker researches your company first. We build campaigns around your actual people, tools, and processes — the way a motivated adversary would — so the result reflects the threat you face, not a test anyone could spot.
Do you do vishing, USB drops, or physical social engineering?
No — this engagement is phishing only, by design. We focus on doing targeted email-based social engineering properly rather than spreading across vectors. If you need broader red-team scope, that’s a separate conversation.
Will this embarrass or punish our employees?
No. The goal is measuring organizational resilience, not naming and shaming. Results are reported as aggregate metrics and patterns; individual data is handled sensitively and per what we agree up front. The output is a stronger team, not a blame list.
How do you handle confidentiality, our data, and legal accountability?
Signed NDA and a contract with full corporate liability, plus written authorization for the campaign before anything is sent. Any credentials or data captured during testing are stored encrypted, restricted to the assigned engineers, and deleted after the engagement per your contract. We carry professional indemnity insurance.
Do we tell our staff in advance?
Usually not the targets — advance warning defeats the test. But we always coordinate with a small, agreed group on your side (and, if relevant, your SOC) so the engagement is authorized and controlled. You decide who’s in the know before we start.
What exactly do you measure?
More than click rate. We measure who clicked, who entered credentials, who approved an MFA prompt — and critically, who reported it and how fast your team and SOC responded. Reporting and response are as important as the click, and we report on both.
What if no one falls for it?
That’s a strong result — and a meaningful one. You still receive full deliverables documenting the campaigns run, the pretexts used, the targets, and the response metrics — evidence of resilience your auditors and customers will accept.
How much effort does this require from our team?
Setup is front-loaded — agreeing scope, targets, pretexts, and authorization at kickoff. During the campaign your involvement is minimal beyond the coordinating group. After delivery, the value comes from acting on the findings, which we support with clear, prioritized guidance.
Is a retest or follow-up included, and are there hidden fees?
The proposal price is fixed and in the contract against agreed scope. A follow-up campaign to measure improvement after awareness work can be included or scoped explicitly — agreed up front, not billed as a surprise. The only thing that changes the price is you expanding scope, agreed in writing first.
