See How Persuasion Exploits Humans—Then Close the Gaps

Most breaches don’t begin with malware—they start with a believable message, a rushed approval, or a friendly voice on the phone. Our social engineering engagements mirror how real attackers operate in your world: invoice changes and vendor spoofing for finance, inbox-rule manipulation and OAuth bait for knowledge workers, VIP impersonation for executives, and help-desk pretexts that squeeze past identity proofing. The aim isn’t to shame—it’s to reveal decision points where verification fails, where process diverges from policy, and where attackers win on tone and timing.

You’ll see which cues employees notice (and which they miss), how quickly suspicious activity is reported, and where workflow design invites mistakes. We pair findings with practical guardrails: specific verification steps, stronger out-of-band checks, help-desk scripts, and small UI/policy tweaks that change outcomes. The payoff is a workforce that recognizes manipulation, a process that resists it, and leaders who understand the real exposure in dollars and decisions—not just click rates.

Focus On What Matters

Inside Your Social Engineering Service

We model credible adversary techniques across channels, measure real decisions, and translate results into fixes teams can run.

Talk to An Expert

Email that looks like work.

Payloadless phish, reply-chain hijacks, look-alike domains, invoice & HR lures.
OAuth/app-consent traps and “sign in with …” prompts; risky scope requests.
Measures: click/submission rates, report-first behavior, and policy adherence.

Persuasion by phone.

Payment diversion, IT support, and vendor “verification” pretexts.
Scripted challenges for identity proofing and call-back procedures.
Measures: escalation quality, hold-time to verification, and deviation from scripts.

Beyond email.

SMS links, QR lures, chat/collab (Slack/Teams) prompts, and share-link abuse.
MFA fatigue and push-bomb variants with time pressure.
Measures: reporting speed, channel-specific tells, and risky approvals.

Physical presence tests.

Badge-tailgating awareness, device/drive drop, and visitor pretexts.
Help-desk walk-ups and equipment swap attempts.
Measures: challenge/response, escort policies, and incident escalation.

Forgepath separates themselves from the rest as they’re a true security partner to Parsysco. They took the time to understand our requirements and how things were working with our previous provider.

We were impressed by how quickly they formulated a new strategy and approach. They helped us identify our challenges and consistently brought forward solutions that were in Parsysco’s best interest.

Most vendors only care about selling something, Forgepath took the personal relationship and partnership approach that we value greatly.
