Social Engineering Assessments

Because the weakest link in cybersecurity is often human.

Technology alone can’t stop cyberattacks. Hackers increasingly target people—tricking them into revealing credentials, clicking malicious links, or granting physical access. This makes Social Engineering Assessments critical to measuring your organization’s true resilience.

At Cyber Security Zone, we simulate real-world social engineering attacks such as phishing, vishing, and physical intrusion attempts to identify weaknesses in human behavior and organizational processes. Our goal isn’t to shame employees—it’s to educate, strengthen awareness, and improve defenses.

Why Social Engineering Assessments Matter

Over 90% of breaches start with a phishing email (Verizon DBIR).

Employees are the first line of defense—and often the first target.

Compliance frameworks like ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR require staff security awareness.
Testing human factors reduces risk of credential theft, fraud, and insider threats.
