Could a stranger talk their way into your company?

We test it by phone, email and at your front desk. Every test is authorized by you in writing before anything starts.

The premise

Software gets patched. Habits don't.

Most organizations spend their security budget on firewalls and endpoint tools, then leave the front desk, the phone line, and the server-room door to good intentions. That is where modern attacks actually land. A confident voice asking for a password reset outperforms a zero-day, and it costs the attacker nothing.

What we test

Three ways a stranger reaches what matters.

Voice

Vishing

A phone call under a pretext, aimed at your staff, to measure whether trust alone opens a door before anyone verifies.

Email

Phishing

Simulated campaigns that track who clicks, who reports, and how both numbers move as your people learn.

Physical

Access

A plausible visitor testing whether your reception, your floors, and the rooms that hold your data actually hold.

The blind spot

Your cameras watch the doors. Attackers use the phone.

How a campaign works

Authorization comes first, always.

01

Authorize

Nothing begins without written permission from someone who controls the asset. We confirm that authority covers every door and system in scope, and we refuse work we cannot do lawfully.

02

Scope

We agree in writing what is in bounds, who stays informed, and the signal that stops the test. A single point of contact can vouch for our operator the moment anyone challenges them.

03

Operate

We run the campaign with benign proof and continuous recording. A photograph of a locked screen, an audit sticker on a network port. We document that access was possible, never the data behind it.

04

Debrief

You get a plain account of what worked, what held, and what to fix. Findings name process gaps, never individuals. No one on your team is identified or blamed.

Who it's for

Mid-market firms with real money in motion.

The attacker rarely wants what you make. They want the desk that authorizes your payments and a foothold to shut you down. We test the organizations where that exposure is largest and the defences are thinnest.

Manufacturing
Supplier wire fraud and downtime that halts a production line.
Logistics
Rerouted shipments and payment diversion across dispatch.
Commercial real estate
Closing-day wire fraud, where a single email moves a fortune.
Professional services
Confidential files and the credentials that reach them.

How we work

The rules are the product.

Authorized

Permission, in writing, first.

The organization signs off before a single call is placed or a door is tried. The authorization letter travels on our operator, not in a filing cabinet.

Benign

Proof without exposure.

We prove access with a marker and a timestamp. We never view, copy, or store your credentials or your clients' data to make a point.

Fair

No one gets thrown under the bus.

A tricked employee is a training moment, not a target. Reports describe the gap and leave the person out of it.

Start here

Find the gap before someone else does.
