Social Engineering

Phishing. Vishing. Pretext. Train your humans the way you train your firewalls.

Most breaches start with a person, not a bug. Social-engineering engagements measure your real susceptibility — and turn the result into targeted training instead of a cover-your-ass report.

What we test

  • ▸Phishing (broad + spear-phishing campaigns)
  • ▸Vishing (phone-based pretexting)
  • ▸SMS / messaging-app attacks
  • ▸Physical pretexting (office walk-ins, badge clone scenarios)
  • ▸USB / dropped-device scenarios
  • ▸OSINT-based targeting (what attackers can learn before they call)

How we approach this engagement

Each phase is signed into the QSurface provenance chain in real time.

01

Scope & Permission

Get explicit written sign-off on targets, channels, methods. No surprise lawsuits.

02

OSINT & Pretext Development

Build realistic pretexts using public data — show your team how they'd actually be targeted.

03

Campaign Execution

Run the campaigns at controlled scale. Capture metrics — clicks, credentials submitted, callbacks.

04

Reporting & Training

Anonymized aggregate report (not blame-and-shame) + targeted training recommendations + QSurface chain.

What you receive

  • ✓Aggregated metrics (no individual blame)
  • ✓Pretext detail report (what we tried + why it worked or didn't)
  • ✓Recommended training topics + frequency
  • ✓QSurface provenance chain
  • ✓Optional: re-test campaign after training

Why TLN

  • ★We design pretexts that are realistic — not generic Nigerian-prince stuff
  • ★Aggregated reporting protects employee psychology
  • ★We pair findings with concrete training topics, not a scolding
  • ★Audit chain documents every send, every call, every interaction
