Our phishing simulation assessments offer a powerful way to verify your organisation’s technical defences and processes, ensuring they are effective in preventing phishing attacks
Your people are your first line of defence. Raise awareness of what a real-life attack would look like, enabling your users to identify a suspicious email and apply security best practice, preventing an attacker from infiltrating your organisation’s network
Phishing simulation attacks improve general awareness of security, by allowing you to measure how effective your security training is and identify areas or people that need additional training
What is a phishing assessment?
Organisations are often breached because an employee falls victim to a phishing attack. A threat actor will launch a phishing attack by sending emails that aim to trick your personnel into divulging confidential information or clicking a link that contains malware.
Rootshell Security’s Phishing Assessment services simulate the entire lifecycle of a phishing attack, so you can test your organisation’s defences at each stage.
We use cutting-edge cyber threat intelligence to demonstrate how a threat actor would exploit public information about your organisation to plan a convincing attack.
We then simulate the attack itself by creating and sending mock phishing emails to agreed targets.
You will gain a clear understanding of your organisation’s ability to defend against a phishing attack; our easy-to-understand reports and continuous guidance will support your next steps.
Phishing assessment benefits

How is a phishing assessment service carried out?
- Scoping: Our experienced security consultants can help define your objectives and advise which of our Phishing Assessment services would be most suitable. Together, we agree the approach and targets of your phishing assessment, ensuring you have full transparency.
- Reconnaissance (Intelligence-led Phishing Assessment only): We use a range of open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques to gather as much information on your organisation as possible. This could include leaked email addresses to help plan the attack and create convincing emails.
- Attack delivery: We create and send phishing emails to the agreed targets. The emails track statistics such as how many people opened the email, how many clicked the link, and who divulged personal information.
- Reporting: We deliver a report containing a full breakdown of our findings from your phishing assessment. This includes all the key statistics you need to evaluate your defences. These actionable results will support your next steps and help you measure improvement over time.
