Phishing Assessments

Understand your organization's susceptibility to a phishing campaign by completing a comprehensive assessment with Bridewell.

Our assessments follow the same process as a real-life phishing campaign to provide an accurate simulation of how your policies, procedures and people would respond to an attack.

The Importance of Phishing Assessment

Phishing is a leading threat, with increasingly sophisticated techniques targeting critical business information.

  • Building a Culture of Awareness - To combat phishing, organizations must foster a culture of awareness that educates employees on phishing risks and implements effective procedures.
  • Engaging Employees- Achieving this without making staff feel tested or singled out is challenging but essential for engaging them in training and ensuring robust security outcomes.

There are many benefits to conducting a phishing assessment, including: 1. Identifying potential vulnerabilities in your organization's email system that could be exploited by attackers. 2. Determining whether your employees are susceptible to phishing attacks and if they are, what type of attacks are they most likely to fall for. 3. Educating your employees about the dangers of phishing attacks and how to avoid them.

A phishing assessment should be conducted at least once a year and tailored to meet current organizational maturity and reflect real sector or industry threats. The frequency of assessments will depend on the organization's size, industry, and risk profile.
