Human factor is the weakest link in the security chain.
70% of breaches start with human error. Attackers know your company's email addresses well and craft culturally convincing messages. One employee clicking and sharing their password means an attacker is now inside your organization — and nobody knows it. Before facing real threats, you can measure employee resilience through controlled scenarios.
- Which department is at higher risk? Accounting or HR? How many click?
- Is your awareness training working? Did the click rate drop over months?
- Are you defenseless against real phishing? Can you train without knowing your risk level?
What it does.
Ready template scenarios
Start with realistic shipment notifications, password resets, internal announcements, finance requests, meeting invites or design a custom campaign.
Target list management
Upload employees from Excel or CSV, filter by department or job title and send selectively.
SMTP profile management
Use your system SMTP or your organization's own mail server to send campaigns; sender address is customizable.
Open and click analytics
Track in real-time how many opened the email, how many clicked the fake link, how many entered credentials.
Department-based reports
See which team opens more, which clicks more, which has higher data entry rates — plan targeted awareness training.
Awareness growth evidence
Compare campaigns to see before-and-after training behavior change; present proof to management and auditors.
Management reports
Controlled, realistic and risk-free scenarios; documentation for training planning and compliance requirements.

Frequently asked questions.
Can fake emails cause real harm?
No. Phishing simulation sends realistic but controlled scenarios. Links point to secure demo pages, causing no cost or business disruption. The goal is to measure awareness before facing real threats.
Won't employees complain?
After the campaign, employees receive explanation and training. Those who clicked are not punished; instead, they get targeted education. The goal is to raise awareness, not to penalize. Management can see behavior change before and after training.
Is there a GDPR or compliance issue?
Campaigns run in GDPR-compliant manner. All checks are logged, reports are retained. They can be presented as employee awareness and training evidence for ISO 27001 audits and compliance requests.
