Phishing Simulation & Awareness
Realistic phishing-simulation programmes calibrated to Indian-context lures — UPI fraud pretexts, GST refund spoofs, payroll-portal redirects, vendor-invoice BEC. Quarterly cadence with role-segmented templates, click-rate benchmarks, and just-in-time coaching for repeat clickers.

A Phishing Sim engagement, in plain language.
Phishing is still the #1 initial-access vector for ransomware and BEC in India, but the off-the-shelf international templates miss the Indian context — your accounts team will click an HSBC London invoice once, but they'll click a GSTN refund-credit lure every Tuesday. Macksofy runs the simulation from our own GoPhish-based lab so payloads stay in-scope (no third-party processor exposure), templates are written for Indian regulators (CBDT, GSTN, EPFO, RBI circulars, BSE / NSE notices) and the post-campaign coaching is delivered in Hindi / English / regional language as required.
- Cut click-through rate from industry-baseline 15-22% to <5% within 4 quarters
- Identify repeat-clicker populations needing targeted coaching
- Build evidence pack for SEBI / RBI / ISO 27001 awareness-control requirements
- Reduce successful BEC + ransomware initial-access incidents
- Quantify human-risk metric for board-level dashboards
Phased delivery — every step documented.
Interactive walkthrough of how we run a Phishing Sim engagement — tap a phase to expand its activities.
1 · Baseline + scoping
- Email-environment review (M365 / Workspace, MTA, gateway, DMARC posture)
- Workforce segmentation by role + risk tier (finance, HR, engineering, exec)
- Lure-library calibration to client industry + India regulatory context
- Allow-list set-up with mail-security vendor (Proofpoint, Mimecast, ATP)
Industry-standard + custom.
We use the same tooling top BFSI red teams operate — combined with Macksofy in-house extensions and proprietary scripts where commercial tools fall short.

“We've worked with three Big 4 firms before Macksofy. None found what their team did in our payments stack. The most actionable report we've received in a decade.”
“The CHFI training Macksofy delivered for our cyber cell raised investigation quality measurably. Practical, India-context-aware, and respectful of our operational realities.”
“Came in with zero security background. 5 weeks later I was running Burp Suite and Metasploit confidently. Cleared CEH on the first attempt.”
