Most Businesses Do Not Know Their Own Weak Points
Businesses spend significant amounts on technical security tools and assume their staff will exercise good judgement when a suspicious email arrives. The reality is that phishing emails have become extraordinarily convincing, and even experienced professionals can be caught out by a well-crafted message that mimics a trusted contact or service.
Without testing, you are making assumptions about your team’s awareness that may not be accurate. A staff member who believes they would always spot a phishing email is not the same as a staff member who has actually demonstrated that ability under realistic conditions. The gap between those two things is exactly what attackers exploit.
Phishing simulations close that gap. By running controlled tests that look and feel like genuine phishing attempts, we give you real data on how your team responds. That data drives targeted training that is far more effective than generic awareness exercises, and over time it produces a measurable improvement in your organisation’s resilience to phishing attacks.
Real Testing, Real Insights No Real Risk
Realistic Campaigns Tailored to Your Business
Our simulations are designed to reflect the kinds of phishing emails your team is most likely to encounter, from fake supplier invoices to impersonated internal communications. The more realistic the test, the more useful the results.
Detailed Results That Drive Action
Every simulation generates clear data on who clicked, who submitted information and who reported the email correctly. These results identify your most vulnerable users and teams, allowing us to target training precisely where it is needed.
Measurable Improvement Over Time
We run simulations on a regular cycle, tracking how your team's response improves over time. As awareness increases, click rates fall and reporting rates rise, giving you visible evidence that your investment in security awareness is paying off.
Testing That Builds Confidence, Not Fear
Phishing simulations work best when they are handled sensitively. The goal is not to catch people out and embarrass them, it is to identify gaps in awareness and address them in a constructive way. At AOIT, we manage the process with that in mind, making sure your team understands that simulations are a tool for improvement rather than a performance measure.
We also make sure the campaigns we run are proportionate and relevant to your business. Testing frequency, campaign difficulty and the way results are communicated are all agreed with you in advance, so the programme fits your culture and your team responds positively to it.
What Our Partners Say
Ready to See How Your Team Would Really Respond to a Phishing Attack?
The results of a first simulation are often surprising, and the insight they provide is genuinely valuable. Get in touch to find out how we can set up a phishing simulation programme for your business and start building real, measurable resilience.
What is a phishing simulation?
Will my staff know they are being tested?
What happens to staff who fail the simulation?
How often should phishing simulations be run?
How realistic are the simulations?
Very. We design campaigns to reflect the types of phishing emails your team is genuinely likely to receive, including impersonation of known services, fake internal communications and sector-specific lures. The more realistic the simulation, the more useful the results.
