Four engagement types
Social engineering engagements are scoped to reflect the actual tactics adversaries use. Not generic phishing templates that everyone recognises.
01 · Phishing
Targeted phishing simulations using pretexts calibrated to your organization and sector — regulatory notifications, IT helpdesk resets, payroll updates, or vendor communications. Campaigns can target the whole organization, a specific department, or high-value individuals. Results show click rates, credential submission rates, and reporting behavior.
02 · Vishing
Simulated calls to staff posing as IT support, auditors, vendors, or leadership. Tests whether employees disclose credentials, authorise actions, or take instructions from an unverified caller, a primary attack vector in business email compromise and fraud schemes.
03 · Pretexting
Extended engagements build a credible cover identity to gain trust over time. By combining email, phone, and sometimes in-person contact, this tests the resilience of your team. Particularly relevant for organizations with high-value IP or sensitive client data.
04 · Physical
Tailgating, visitor badge exploitation, document handling assessment, and on-site social engineering at offices, studios, data centres, or branches. Test whether physical access controls hold up against a confident, prepared attacker and whether staff challenge unknown individuals appropriately.
How we report
Social engineering results are reported at an organizational and departmental level, never attributed to individual employees. The goal is to identify process and policy gaps, not to create a list of who clicked what.
Get started
Social engineering is consistently the most successful initial access vector across every sector Convergent works in. Most organizations test their infrastructure annually and their people never.
