Social Engineering Penetration Testing

// Empowering Your Team Against Threats

Social Engineering Penetration Testing

At SecureCoders, we test your employees’ resilience to social engineering attacks, including simulated phishing, pretexting, and other tactics. Our Social Engineering Penetration Testing helps identify gaps in security awareness, empowering your team to recognize and respond to potential threats.

Why Social Engineering Testing Matters

Human error remains one of the most significant vulnerabilities in cybersecurity. Phishing attacks, baiting, and impersonation are common tactics that exploit trust to breach security protocols. By conducting social engineering assessments, we help your organization reinforce its first line of defense—your employees.

Expert Team

We will understand how social engineering can impact you, and provide advice specific to your needs.

Methodical Process

Our skilled social engineers will adapt to your landscape how your bad actors will.

Frequently Asked Social Engineering Questions

We are doing penetration tests all the time but most organizations will only perform one to a handful a year. Below are some great questions we hear regularly.

What is social engineering in cybersecurity?

Social engineering involves manipulating individuals into divulging confidential information or allowing unauthorized access.

Why is social engineering testing important?

Testing identifies vulnerabilities in human behavior, helping strengthen your organization’s defenses against manipulation tactics.

What types of social engineering attacks do you simulate?

We simulate phishing, impersonation, insider threats, physical intrusion, and more to assess various security layers.

How do you conduct phishing simulations?

We send customized phishing emails or messages to test employees' responses to suspicious requests.

What is an insider threat simulation?

This simulation tests if trusted insiders could access sensitive information or systems beyond their permissions.

How do physical security tests work in social engineering?

We attempt unauthorized entry or follow personnel into restricted areas to test physical security protocols.

What is combined technical testing?

It involves using electronic methods with physical testing to assess security at multiple layers effectively.

How is our staff prepared after the social engineering test?

We provide comprehensive reports with actionable recommendations and offer awareness training if needed.

Will our employees know about the social engineering tests?

Typically, tests are unannounced to observe genuine responses, but they are carefully planned to avoid disruption.
