Please note: social engineering penetration tests are available only in the Netherlands.
Let employees experience the real risk of social engineering and uncover where vulnerabilities arise. Are they aware of manipulation, and can they recognise it in real-life situations? With our social engineering penetration tests, we test this in a realistic and fully controlled manner. Choose from a mystery guest visit, voice phishing, or an invoice fraud simulation.
Our social engineering penetration tests deliberately exploit human traits such as trust, helpfulness and routine. This form of manipulation is often referred to as human hacking.
These tests clearly demonstrate how vulnerable an organisation can be to social engineering and turn abstract risks into concrete insights. They are therefore highly effective as a starting point for a security awareness programme or for building support for targeted improvement measures.
How resilient is your organisation to physical social engineering? During a mystery guest visit, one of our researchers visits your premises, for example posing as a technician or supplier. We examine, among other things:
The results provide a realistic picture of physical and human vulnerabilities. For additional impact, the findings can be shared with management or employees in an interactive session.
With a voice phishing (vishing) simulation, we assess how resilient employees are to phone-based social engineering attacks. Our researcher contacts employees by phone, for example posing as an IT support employee, and tests whether sensitive information is disclosed.
By using proven techniques that criminals also apply, we gain insight into how trust can be exploited. For many organisations, this penetration test is confronting, but a highly valuable wake-up call.
Finance and administrative departments are prime targets for social engineering attacks. In this invoice fraud simulation, we assess how employees deal with fake invoices, payment requests and changes to bank account details.
The simulation clearly shows how easily this type of fraud can succeed and helps teams recognise and discuss warning signs more effectively.
