Phishing remains the most common way into a business, and a simulation shows how your Cyprus workforce reacts before a real attacker finds out. We design authorised campaigns tailored to your industry, measuring not just who clicks but who reports.
Results translate directly into targeted awareness training and technical hardening you can track over time.
What we test
- Tailored phishing lure design
- Click and credential-entry tracking
- Reporting-rate measurement
- Email control & filter effectiveness
- Landing-page & payload simulation
- Repeat-campaign trend analysis
Common vulnerabilities we uncover
- High click and credential-entry rates
- Low phishing-report rates
- Ineffective email filtering controls
- Susceptibility to targeted, industry-specific lures
- Weak links between awareness and behavior
- Lack of repeat measurement and trend tracking
How we run your Phishing Simulation
- Kick-off & scoping. A short call to agree goals, in-scope assets and rules of engagement, so your phishing simulation is safe, authorised and aimed at your real business risk.
- Mapping & discovery. Before touching anything we map the full attack surface in scope, so nothing exploitable slips through.
- Hands-on testing. Cyprus-based specialists exploit and chain weaknesses manually — the flaws scanners walk straight past — to show genuine impact.
- Reporting. Each issue is verified, CVSS-rated and documented with a step-by-step reproduction and a practical fix your team can apply.
- Free retest. Once you have remediated, we re-test at no extra cost to confirm the attack path is truly closed.
What you receive
- Campaign metrics & benchmarks
- Control effectiveness findings
- Awareness training recommendations
- Trend tracking across campaigns
Your deliverables
When your phishing simulation wraps up, you receive a clear, audit-ready report plus a walkthrough call with your team. Inside you will find:
- A concise executive summary that management and the board can act on
- Every technical finding with a reproducible, copy-paste proof of concept
- CVSS v3.1 ratings and plain-language business impact for each issue
- Practical, prioritised remediation your developers can implement straight away
- A free retest and updated finding status once fixes are in place
- A signed attestation letter for clients, auditors, GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001

What you gain
By the end of your phishing simulation, you will know exactly which weaknesses a real attacker could exploit, what it would cost your business, and the precise order in which to fix them — backed by evidence, not a scanner’s guesswork. Cyprus firms use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy client and regulator security questionnaires, and demonstrate due diligence for GDPR and NIS2. With a free retest included, you also get documented proof the issues are resolved.
Working with us
Every phishing simulation begins with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal. Most work is delivered remotely, and because we are based in Cyprus we work in your timezone with on-site visits across Limassol, Nicosia and island-wide where it helps. We keep you updated throughout and flag any critical finding immediately rather than waiting for the report. Everything is covered by a signed NDA and safe, non-disruptive testing that protects your production systems. You receive your report, a walkthrough and a complimentary retest once fixes land. Engagements are typically booked one to three weeks ahead, and urgent testing can often be arranged — just email hi@cypruspentest.com.
