Security Awareness & Phishing Simulation
Turn your people from the weakest link into the first line of defence.
Overview
Most successful breaches start with a person, not a firewall — a convincing phishing email, a fraudulent payment request, a shared password. Technology alone cannot stop attacks designed to exploit trust.
Cyferra runs awareness programmes that change behaviour, not just tick a compliance box. Realistic phishing simulations, role-based training, and clear metrics show your people improving quarter after quarter — and give auditors the evidence they ask for.
Our approach
- 1
Baseline
An initial unannounced phishing simulation establishes your true starting point across departments.
- 2
Targeted training
Short, relevant training is delivered by role and risk level — finance teams see payment fraud, IT sees credential attacks.
- 3
Simulate continuously
Regular campaigns of increasing sophistication keep awareness current against evolving lures.
- 4
Measure & report
Click rates, report rates, and repeat-offender trends are tracked per department and reported quarterly.
- 5
Reinforce
Results feed back into training focus, internal communications, and recognition for teams that improve.
FAQ
Common questions
Will phishing simulations upset our staff?
Programmes are framed as training, not entrapment. Staff who click get immediate, blame-free micro-training, and results are reported at team level rather than to single out individuals.
How quickly do results improve?
Most organisations see click rates fall and report rates rise significantly within the first two to three campaign cycles, with sustained improvement over the first year.
Does this satisfy compliance training requirements?
Yes. ISO 27001, PCI DSS, the CBB framework, and the PDPL all expect ongoing security awareness. Our reporting is designed to serve directly as audit evidence.
Can training be tailored to our sector?
Yes. Scenarios are tailored to your sector and region — for example CEO-fraud lures referencing Gulf business practices, or customer-data scenarios for financial institutions.
