Social Engineering Testing
Comprehensive assessment of human security awareness and susceptibility to social engineering attacks through controlled testing scenarios.
Overview
Social Engineering Testing
Social engineering attacks exploit human psychology and trust to bypass technical security controls, making them one of the most effective attack vectors. Our social engineering testing evaluates your organization’s susceptibility to human-based attacks including phishing, pretexting, baiting, and physical social engineering. We conduct controlled, ethical tests to assess employee security awareness and identify areas for improvement in security training and procedures.
Methodology
Our social engineering testing follows ethical testing frameworks and industry guidelines including NIST Human Factors guidance, Social Engineering Framework, and responsible disclosure practices to ensure safe and effective assessment of human security factors.
Benefits
- Identify human security vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them
- Assess effectiveness of security awareness training programs
- Improve employee security awareness through realistic testing
- Reduce risk of successful social engineering attacks
- Meet compliance requirements for human factors security testing
- Build security culture through demonstrated vulnerability awareness
Email-Based Social Engineering
Involves controlled phishing campaigns and malicious email testing to assess employee susceptibility to email-based attacks including credential harvesting, malware delivery, and business email compromise scenarios.
Phone-Based Social Engineering
Encompasses voice-based testing including pretexting calls, vishing attacks, and phone-based information gathering to evaluate susceptibility to voice-based social engineering techniques.
Physical Social Engineering
Includes on-site testing of physical security controls and employee awareness including tailgating, badge cloning, and unauthorized access attempts to assess physical security vulnerabilities.

Our Approach
Target Reconnaissance
We conduct ethical reconnaissance to gather publicly available information about your organization and employees that could be used in social engineering attacks without violating privacy or legal boundaries.
Phishing Campaign Development
We create customized phishing campaigns tailored to your organization including industry-specific themes, current events, and realistic scenarios to test employee susceptibility.
Pretexting Scenario Creation
We develop believable pretexting scenarios for phone-based social engineering tests including IT support requests, vendor calls, and emergency situations to assess employee response
Physical Access Testing
We conduct controlled physical social engineering tests including tailgating attempts, unauthorized access testing, and evaluation of physical security awareness among employees.
USB Drop Testing
We perform USB drop tests using controlled, safe devices to assess employee response to unknown USB devices and potential malware delivery through physical media.
Social Media Intelligence
We gather publicly available social media information to assess information exposure risks and potential social engineering attack vectors from public sources.
Employee Awareness Assessment
We evaluate overall employee security awareness including password practices, information sharing behaviors, and response to suspicious activities.
Executive Protection Testing
We conduct specialized social engineering tests targeting executive and high-value personnel to assess their specific security risks and protection measures.
Vendor Impersonation Testing
We test employee response to vendor impersonation attempts including fake support calls, service provider contacts, and third-party authentication scenarios.
Comprehensive Training Recommendations
We provide detailed security awareness training recommendations based on identified vulnerabilities and employee susceptibility patterns.
