Phishing Assessments

Simulate, Measure, and Strengthen User Awareness.

What is a Phishing Assessment?

Phishing remains one of the most effective and widely used tactics by cybercriminals to breach organisations. These attacks often bypass technical defences by targeting the human layer, making your people the last line of defence. Secarma’s Phishing Assessments are designed to help you understand just how ready your teams are.

By simulating real-world phishing attacks in a safe and controlled environment, we help you evaluate user behaviour, uncover risky habits, and identify gaps in awareness. You’ll receive clear insights and reporting that can be used to shape targeted training, inform policy, and improve overall cyber resilience. Whether you're looking to reinforce a security culture or reduce human-driven risk, our assessments offer a practical and impactful solution.

Why is a Phishing Assessment Important?

Phishing attacks are fast, scalable, and still remarkably effective—making them a persistent threat for organisations of every size. Knowing how your employees react under pressure can be the difference between containment and compromise.

Phishing assessments reveal:

Poor User Awareness

Many employees still struggle to identify suspicious links, attachments, or sender impersonation—leaving the door open for attack.

Risk of Data Disclosure

Credential theft and accidental leaks of sensitive data can occur in seconds if staff aren't properly trained to verify and report suspicious emails.

Slow or Missing Reporting

Unreported phishing attempts reduce visibility and delay your incident response—giving attackers time to escalate their access.
