Stage 01
Scope the human attack surface
We define target groups, business context, protected boundaries, escalation paths, and success criteria with your team before any campaign is prepared.
Rules of engagement
Phishing Simulation
Manual phishing simulation and phishing pentest engagements
For teams that want to test real phishing readiness with expert-led scenarios, custom lures, controlled execution, and practical reporting. This is a hands-on service delivered manually by the PhiShark team.
Email attack surface
controlled testSpoofed sender pattern mapped
Landing path isolated
Evidence trail prepared
Scroll through the attack, from scope to debrief
Our team designs and operates the exercise like a controlled adversarial engagement. Every stage is planned with your rules of engagement, then turned into evidence your security team can act on.
Stage 02
Craft realistic email phishing scenarios
The lure is built around the language, timing, and pressure patterns your users would realistically see, from finance requests to account verification flows.
Custom email lures
Stage 03
Run controlled delivery
Our specialists operate the send, landing path, tracking, and safeguards manually so the test stays realistic without creating unnecessary operational risk.
Manual execution
Stage 04
Observe behavior and response
We monitor interaction patterns, reporting behavior, user friction, and response timing to understand where the organization is strong and where it needs reinforcement.
Behavior evidence
Stage 05
Debrief with practical next steps
The output is a clear report and debrief for security teams and leadership, focused on exposure, control gaps, and improvements that can actually be implemented.
Action plan
What you get
More useful than click-rate theater
The engagement is designed to produce operational signal: who was exposed, which controls helped, where users hesitated, and what should change next.
Audience and role-level exposure
Understand which groups, roles, or workflows were most susceptible to the simulated attack path.
Control and process gaps
See where mailbox controls, browser behavior, reporting channels, or internal escalation paths need adjustment.
Training and response recommendations
Turn findings into targeted awareness, process changes, and practical security improvements.
