What Are Phishing Simulations
Phishing simulations involve sending controlled, fake phishing emails to your employees to assess their detection capabilities. No malicious code is executed and no real data is accessed: it is a safe, hands-on training exercise.
The goal is not to penalize, but to educate through experience. Studies show that experiential learning — making a controlled mistake and learning from it — is significantly more effective than traditional theoretical training.

FAQ
Preguntas Frecuentes
Yes, as long as they are conducted with authorization from company management. It is a standard practice in awareness programs recommended by ISO 27001, NIST, and SANS. No real data is accessed and no malicious code is executed.
No. The goal is to educate, not to penalize. Employees who fall for it receive constructive just-in-time training. Individual results are confidential; management receives aggregated metrics by department. The approach is centered on continuous improvement.
Over 200 pre-designed templates, updated monthly with new threats. Categorized by difficulty (low, medium, high), industry, and attack type. All customizable with corporate branding and your company's context.
Yes. The dashboard updates in real time during each campaign: who opened the email, who clicked, who entered data, and who reported it. Post-campaign, you have detailed analysis by department and trends over time.
Emails are sent in staggered batches over several hours or days, not all at once. Different templates and subject lines are used within the same campaign. Additionally, employees alerting each other is actually a positive outcome.
Employees who fell for it receive immediate training. A report with campaign metrics is generated. Departments or profiles that need reinforcement are identified. Difficulty is adjusted for the next campaign. Everything is documented for audit purposes.
Yes. We integrate with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and on-premise mail servers. The integration enables realistic sending from simulated domains and precise interaction tracking without affecting your email infrastructure.
Typically, click rates decrease by 50-70% within the first 3 months of regular simulations. To reach optimal levels (<5% click rate, >60% report rate), 6-12 months of a continuous program are required.
