Social Engineering & Human Risk Assessment — United Kingdom
Test How Your People React to Real-World Manipulation, Pressure and Cyber Threats
Cyber Sentinel Solutions Ltd — London & Bristol, UK
Technology can stop malware, detect anomalies and block known threats, but no firewall can stop a trusted employee who has been manipulated into clicking, sharing or granting access. Our Social Engineering & Human Risk Assessment reveals how your organisation behaves under pressure, deception and real-world attacker techniques.
Why Social Engineering Testing Matters
Modern attackers rarely begin with hacking technical systems. Instead, they target the human layer: curiosity, trust, politeness, urgency and authority. A single email, one phone call or a well-crafted pretext is often enough to bypass even the strongest technical controls.
Common attack scenarios include:
- CEO fraud and payment redirection
- credential harvesting via fake portals
- vishing calls pretending to be IT support
- SMS-based delivery scams (smishing)
- physical access attempts using uniforms or pretexts
- USB drop attacks
The goal is not to “catch people out”, but to understand behavioural weaknesses and build practical, targeted defences.
What Is a Human Risk Assessment?
A Human Risk Assessment analyses how employees think, react and behave when confronted with manipulated situations. We evaluate:
- awareness of social engineering tactics
- decision-making under urgency or pressure
- adherence to security processes
- incident reporting behaviour
- risk tolerance and susceptibility
This reveals behavioural trends, cultural gaps and real-world vulnerabilities that attackers exploit every day.
Types of Social Engineering Tests We Perform
1. Phishing (Email)
- credential theft simulation
- malicious attachment scenarios
- industry-specific lures (finance, legal, healthcare)
2. Vishing (Phone Social Engineering)
- IT support impersonation
- urgent finance/payment calls
- pretexting for internal information
3. Smishing (SMS Attacks)
- delivery scams
- verification requests
- credential-reset scenarios
4. Onsite / Physical Social Engineering
- attempted entry using uniforms or pretexts
- tailgating checks
- USB drop testing
Assessment Methodology
Our approach follows four major phases:
- Discovery & Profiling: We gather information about your organisation, roles, processes and potential attack paths.
- Scenario Design: We create realistic, industry-specific attack narratives that mirror real adversary tactics.
- Execution: Controlled simulations are carried out safely without disrupting your operations.
- Analysis & Reporting: We document behaviours, reactions, vulnerabilities and strengths, followed by a behavioural-risk roadmap.
All testing is fully confidential and conducted ethically with strict safety boundaries.
