Frequently Asked Questions
How intrusive are your social engineering tests?
We tailor intensity to policy: from low-risk phishing to full business email compromise (BEC) and physical social tests, always with scoped rules of engagement and legal approvals.
Will tests disrupt business operations?
No. Tests are coordinated with stakeholders, avoid production outages, and follow escalation procedures to stop real-world harm while still producing realistic evidence.
How realistic are the social engineering scenarios?
We design attacks to mirror real-world adversaries, using tactics like spear-phishing, vishing, or impersonation. Scenarios are customized to your environment, making results directly actionable.
How do you prevent harm to employees or privacy?
We follow ethical testing protocols, sanitize PII in reports, obtain legal signoffs, and halt any test that could cause harm or violate policy.
How do we remediate and verify fixes?
We provide prioritized remediation steps, playbooks, and follow-up verification tests or retests to confirm fixes and to produce evidence for auditors and buyers.
