Phishing Email Simulation
Phishing Email Simulation Services designed to help organizations test and improve their employees’ ability to recognize and respond to phishing attempts.
Phishing Email Simulation
Phishing attacks are one of the most prevalent cybersecurity threats, often targeting employees through deceptive emails that appear legitimate. These attacks can lead to data breaches, financial losses, and significant reputational damage. To mitigate this risk, Simply Data offers Phishing Email Simulation Services, designed to help organizations test and improve their employees' ability to recognize and respond to phishing attempts.
Our service is tailored to help businesses proactively defend against phishing attacks by simulating real-world phishing scenarios. We run campaign-style or monthly phishing simulations, depending on your organization's needs, to evaluate employee awareness, identify vulnerabilities, and provide ongoing training and education.
Key Areas Tested in Simply Data’s Phishing Email Simulation
Employee Response to Phishing Emails
Our phishing simulations test employees' ability to respond to phishing emails by creating realistic scenarios that assess their ability to identify malicious messages, avoid clicking links, and report the threat.
Click-Through and Open Rates
By tracking which employees click on malicious links or open dangerous attachments, we can assess the effectiveness of your current security training and identify those who may need additional support.
Reporting Behavior
Employees who fall for a phishing attempt are encouraged to report the incident to your security team. We evaluate how many employees report phishing attempts correctly and encourage them to take prompt action in real-world situations.
Follow-Up Training
After each simulation, we provide feedback to employees who clicked on phishing links or fell for the attack. They receive tailored educational resources to better understand how phishing attacks work and how to avoid them in the future.
How Our Phishing Email Simulation Works?
Our phishing email simulations are designed to mimic real-world phishing attempts as closely as possible. Depending on the package selected, we offer campaign-style tests or ongoing monthly simulations. Here’s how we run our simulations:
01.
Campaign-Style Phishing Tests
For organizations that want to run a targeted phishing campaign, we can design a series of simulated attacks that focus on specific departments or roles. Whether you want to target employees in the IT department, sales team, or executive staff, we tailor the simulations to the unique needs of each group.
02.
Monthly Phishing Simulations
For ongoing, continuous testing, our monthly simulations allow you to run regular phishing exercises and track improvements over time. This approach ensures that your employees are consistently tested, which helps reinforce their security awareness and improve their ability to recognize phishing attempts.
03.
Customized Phishing Campaigns
We customize phishing emails based on your organization’s industry, employee roles, and specific security challenges. Simulations can be crafted to reflect various types of phishing attacks such as spear-phishing, vishing (voice phishing), whaling (targeting senior executives), and more.
04.
Realistic Scenarios
Our phishing simulations closely mimic actual phishing techniques used by cybercriminals. We simulate phishing emails that use common social engineering tactics, such as fake alerts, fraudulent offers, or impersonating trusted sources. This makes our training effective and highly relevant to your business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Phishing Email Simulation is a proactive cybersecurity exercise that involves sending simulated phishing emails to employees to assess their ability to identify malicious threats. These emails mimic the tactics used by cybercriminals, such as fake login pages, suspicious attachments, or fraudulent links, to test how employees react and whether they fall for the attack.
- Raise Awareness and Knowledge
Employees are often the weakest link in an organization’s cybersecurity. Phishing simulations help raise awareness about the risks of phishing and teach employees to recognize common tactics used by cybercriminals. This knowledge empowers employees to make better security decisions in real-world situations. - Identify Vulnerabilities in Your Workforce
Our service helps identify which employees or teams are most vulnerable to phishing attacks. By simulating different types of phishing attempts, we can determine who is at risk and tailor training efforts to address specific weaknesses. - Ensure Compliance with Industry Regulations
For many industries, cybersecurity training, including phishing simulations, is not just a best practice but a regulatory requirement. Our phishing simulations can help businesses demonstrate compliance with standards like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. - Create a Security-Aware Culture
Phishing simulation helps foster a security-aware culture within your organization. Employees learn how to identify phishing emails and know how to respond properly, contributing to a safer digital environment for everyone.
- Tailored Campaigns: We create phishing email simulations specifically for your business, targeting departments, teams, or even individual employees. This personalized approach ensures that your training is relevant and effective.
- Advanced Analytics and Reporting: Our platform provides detailed insights and analytics into how employees responded to the phishing simulations. This allows you to track trends, identify vulnerabilities, and measure the success of your security awareness programs.
