What is Social Engineering Penetration Testing?
Social engineering penetration testing finds weaknesses in an organisation’s security awareness & behavioural responses by simulating human-based cyberattacks. Phishing, pretexting, baiting & impersonation are used to assess employees’ response under pressure, exposing gaps in training & procedures set. It fortifies human defences, validates policy effectiveness & prepares the workforce against cyber manipulation.

Frequently Asked Questions
The goal is to evaluate how your workforce responds to manipulation-based attacks like phishing, pretexting or impersonation and uncover human-layer security gaps.
Common simulation attacks include phishing emails, phone-based pretexting, USB baiting, impersonation attempts. To know more about manipulation tactics, contact us.
Employees are usually not informed to maintain realism. But we take prior approval and set boundaries with leadership before starting the test.
Findings inform improved awareness training, policy changes and mitigation steps to reduce future risk due to human error.
