Awareness

Phishing Simulation

Test, teach and track your employees’ resilience against phishing. 

Real simulations.

Every simulation is based on phishing tactics attackers are actually using right now, not outdated or one-size-fits-all templates. 

Turns a mistake into a lesson.

One wrong click is enough to trigger immediate, targeted training, tailored to the mistake that was just made. 

Get evidence.

See exactly how employees respond to a real phishing attempt and walk away with a report your leadership and auditors can actually use.

Is phishing still relevant today? 

If your employees use email and have access to company or personal data, the answer is yes. Phishing is how a lot of hackers get in. It doesn’t target your systems, it targets your people.

This phishing simulation is ideal for anyone

  • who wants to reduce risks,
  • is looking for real behavioural awareness,
  • wants measurable results
  • or needs to meet NIS2 and GDPR requirements.

Why does a simulation work?

A single training session doesn’t change behaviour, it’s forgotten within weeks. Real awareness grows through repetition in situations that feel real, until recognising the signs becomes an automatic reflex. The impact of a phishing simulation is bigger the moment someone clicks and is immediately redirected to a short training session. This is more memorable than a session followed once a few months ago.

How a campaign comes together.

No two campaigns look the same but the process behind them does. Here’s how we take a campaign from kick-off to results, built around your team’s schedule from the very first step.

About a week before launch, we have a kick-off meeting with you. Together we:

  • Agree on who’s responsible for what within your team and ours
  • Define which employees or teams to target
  • Decide on the right method: a continuous programme, a one-off campaign or a combination of both
  • Get a first read on your organisation’s context so the campaign feels relevant rather than generic

In the week that follows, we get everything ready behind the scenes. This is where we:

  • Load and segment your contact lists by target group
  • Prepare the campaigns and review templates for any ad hoc content
  • Send everything to your contact person for final validation before it goes live

On launch day, the validated campaigns go live. From there:

  • Emails are sent out in phases across the campaign period, rather than all at once
  • You and your team can follow results as they come in
  • Aggregated insights are visible in a live dashboard throughout

About a month after launch, we look back at the results together. We focus on:

  • What the results say about your organisation’s current level of awareness
  • Where employees are doing well and where the gaps still are
  • Next steps: whether that’s another campaign, a different target group or extra training

For an ad hoc campaign, this is where things wrap up. For a continuous programme, this review feeds straight into the next cycle’s kick-off.

Frequently asked questions about phishing simulations.

We try to provide you with all necessary answers to adequately inform you about our course. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any additional questions.

At CRANIUM Campus we work with two partners for phishing. We work together with Responsum or Outkept. Both have their inherent qualities to achieve a certain goal. Together with you, we determine which system suits youbest, based on the goals you wish to achieve with the campaign(s).

Continuous campaigns run automatically in the background on a set rhythm (for example quarterly or monthly). Ad hoc campaigns are one-off, built around a specific theme or event, with more control over the exact content.

After every cycle. About a month after each campaign launches, we review the results together, and that review feeds straight into planning the next one. A continuous program is essentially a repeating cycle of launching, evaluating, and refining, rather than a single review at the end.

Both are possible. We can run everything for you or we can train your team to configure and manage campaigns independently, with us on hand as backup where needed.

Yes. Every campaign generates detailed reporting you can use for internal tracking and as audit evidence for NIS2, ISO 27001, or GDPR.

After the kick-off, preparation and validation typically take about a week, so the first campaign can usually launch within two weeks.

They’re shown a short training page on the spot, explaining what gave the email away. Afterwards, they can be enrolled to a more elaborate training, although this depends on the chosen configuration.

Get your employees ready for phishing attacks.

Would your employees spot a phishing attempt? Most think they would until they’re tested. This simulation shows you exactly how your organisation reacts to realistic attacks. Curious what your employees will learn from CRANIUM Campus?
