Phishing Simulation
Test how people respond before attackers do.
DDG runs safe, realistic phishing simulations that show how staff respond to suspicious emails, how reporting works, and where awareness or controls need improving.
Realistic, respectful testing
Measure behaviour and improve habits without turning it into a blame exercise.
Safe, controlled campaigns with agreed guardrails.
Clear metrics for leaders, managers, and security teams.
Why simulate
Move beyond completion rates and understand real-world behaviour.
Training matters, but attackers do not send training modules. A controlled simulation shows whether people spot warning signs, whether they report the email, and whether your process gives them a clear route to do the right thing.
Understand real behaviour
See how people respond to realistic emails, not just whether they finished training.
Find process gaps
Identify whether staff know how to report suspicious messages and what happens next.
Improve awareness
Use results to shape practical follow-up sessions, reminders, and team guidance.
Support leadership reporting
Give decision-makers a clear view of risk, trends, and sensible next actions.
Typical coverage
Campaigns designed around your people, risk, and culture.
The goal is useful evidence and better decisions, not catching people out. Every campaign is scoped and approved before anything goes live.
Realistic email campaigns
Controlled simulations based on common themes such as invoices, shared files, password prompts, delivery notices, and internal requests.
Audience planning
Campaigns can cover all staff, specific departments, new starters, high-risk teams, or leadership groups.
Safe guardrails
We agree tone, exclusions, timing, landing-page wording, and escalation routes before launch.
Useful measurement
Reports focus on opens, clicks, submissions, reporting behaviour, and what those patterns mean.
Follow-up support
Results can feed into awareness sessions, policy updates, mailbox reporting routes, and leadership briefings.
No-blame approach
Useful results without damaging trust.
Phishing simulations work best when staff understand the purpose: helping the organisation spot threats earlier and report them faster. DDG keeps the exercise respectful, proportional, and focused on improvement.
Guardrails before launch
We agree sensitive topics, exclusions, reporting contacts, launch timing, and escalation handling before the campaign runs.
Reporting that leads somewhere
Results are turned into practical actions, such as awareness topics, mailbox reporting changes, policy updates, or control improvements.
Process
A controlled campaign from planning to improvement.
DDG keeps the process clear so HR, leadership, IT, and security stakeholders know what is happening and why.
Step 1
Plan
Agree the audience, campaign style, timing, approval process, and what you want to learn.
Step 2
Prepare
Configure the simulation, confirm safe wording, and check the technical setup before launch.
Step 3
Run
Launch the campaign in a controlled window with agreed monitoring and escalation routes.
Step 4
Report and improve
Turn the results into practical actions for staff awareness, reporting routes, and controls.
Outputs
Clear results and a practical improvement plan.
A good phishing simulation should leave your organisation with better insight and a calmer route forward.
Campaign setup with agreed guardrails and exclusions.
Results showing open, click, submission, and reporting behaviour.
Plain-English summary for leadership and management teams.
Practical recommendations for awareness, processes, and technical controls.
Optional follow-up awareness session or briefing based on the findings.
We help interpret the patterns behind the numbers, then turn them into sensible next steps for staff, managers, and technical teams.
