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.
Every phishing simulation we run is manual and evidence-led — automated scanning alone never tells you which weaknesses actually matter. We map your real environment, not a generic template, then test every path where trust is granted and every place where controls could be bypassed.
The result is clarity: a prioritised, exploitable-risk view of your phishing simulation that your team can act on immediately, backed by proof rather than a scanner's guesswork.
The businesses that rely on us understand that untested systems are unquantified risk. A weakness that reaches customer or financial data can trigger a NIS2 resilience and TIBER-style obligation, damage hard-won client trust, and stall deals while security questionnaires go unanswered. Our phishing simulation exists to remove that uncertainty before an attacker — or an auditor — finds the gap first.
By proving exactly what is exploitable and what it would cost, we turn a vague worry into a concrete, fundable remediation plan. Cyprus firms use our reports to close real gaps, satisfy CySEC, GDPR and NIS2 expectations, and demonstrate genuine due diligence to clients, partners and insurers — with a free retest to prove the fixes hold.
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 engagement
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.
Tools & techniques
In practice, your phishing simulation focuses on tailored phishing lure design, click and credential-entry tracking and reporting-rate measurement and the ways they can be chained together.
Our red team work models real adversaries end to end, structured around the MITRE ATT&CK framework. We plan objectives, build tooling and infrastructure, and execute with strict operational security so we test not just whether we can get in, but whether your people, process and technology detect and respond. Where useful, we run the engagement as a collaborative purple team to accelerate your detection engineering.
Every action is logged and de-conflicted with your trusted agents, and nothing is left in place. The outcome is an honest measure of your detection and response maturity — with a timeline your SOC can replay against their own alerts.
When you need this engagement
You are deploying, changing or relying on systems where tailored phishing lure design would be business-critical
You have passed penetration tests but never faced an objective-driven adversary
Your board or regulator wants evidence of detection and response capability
You are a Cyprus financial institution preparing for NIS2 or DORA-style resilience testing
You want to train your defenders against realistic, current attacker tradecraft
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
Standards & frameworks
NIST SP 800-115MITRE ATT&CK (phishing)security awareness best practices
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.

How much does Phishing Simulation cost?
Every phishing simulation in Cyprus is scoped and priced individually, so you pay only for the coverage you need — with no hidden extras. After a short, no-obligation scoping call we send a fixed-price quote, usually within one business day, with clear deliverables, a firm timeline and a complimentary retest included. The price depends on the size and complexity of your environment, so you always know the cost up front before any work begins.
