Phishing Simulation

Highly customized phishing, spear phishing, and vishing tests.

Phishing by the Raxis Red Team

Every Raxis phishing assessment is built from scratch by our Red Team engineers. No recycled templates, no automated platforms. We show you where your defenses break down and what an attacker could do once they’re in.

Phishing penetration testing and social engineering assessment by Raxis

Hand-built phishing campaigns mirror what attackers actually send.

Customized Phishing

Controlled phishing using real attacker tactics, from convincing pretexts to credential harvesting. We don’t stop at the click. When scope allows, we use captured credentials to show real impact: account access, lateral movement, and data exposure.

Spear Phishing Testing

Generic phishing catches the careless. Spear phishing catches the careful. Our engineers profile specific targets through OSINT, then craft personalized emails impersonating trusted colleagues, executives, or vendors, using context only a determined attacker would assemble.

Vishing Assessments

Vishing (Voice Phishing) now drives over 60% of phishing-related incident response cases, overtaking email as attackers’ top channel, yet most organizations have never tested for it. Our engineers place live calls impersonating IT support, executives, and vendors, using urgency and authority to extract credentials and MFA codes. No scripts. No robocalls.

What You Get From a Phishing Simulation

Every engagement ends with more than a spreadsheet of click rates. Raxis delivers findings you can act on immediately, from individual risk exposure to organization wide security gaps, with clear remediation guidance at every level.

Proven Phishing Results

Raxis has successfully phished organizations of all sizes and types, making a few well-planned and executed phone calls to domain administrator through chained attacks.

Handled by Red Team Engineers

Your phishing tests are conducted by the same elite professionals who lead our Red Team operations, ensuring hyper-realistic scenarios that go beyond basic templates.

Seamless Red Team Integration

Phishing often serves as the initial access vector in broader Red Team assessments, allowing us to demonstrate chained attacks (e.g., credential harvesting leading to lateral movement).

Real-World Impact

By leveraging Red Team methodologies like the MITRE ATT&CK framework, we reveal not just click rates, but how phishing exploits could lead to full compromise.

Phishing For Compliance

Many regulatory frameworks require organizations to assess their vulnerability to social engineering attacks. A Raxis phishing penetration test provides the documentation and evidence you need to satisfy these mandates, while delivering security insights that go far beyond the checkbox.

Real-World Phishing Security Test: Credential Harvest to Full Access

Oh, if clicks were wishes. After decades of extended car warranty negotiations and speed dates with Nigerian princes, nearly all organizations remain keenly aware phishing attacks are part of doing business. We’re all human, but it’s the forehead slap moments that seem to sting the most. Maintaining that vigilance while your inbox explodes on a Friday afternoon is no small challenge. We’ve all been there, and the bad guys know it. We don’t get to share too many of them, so sit back and enjoy a few war stories our team has been a part of. While no actual employees were harmed in the making of this story, they quickly learned that class was in session.

As with many other social engineering engagements, we created a phish based on a spoofed login portal. The assessment scope allowed our engineer to pivot off any harvested credentials. So, with that as the focus, he leapt at the first set that came in. Glee quickly faded as he found the organization enforced MFA through a push notification. Thinking the gig was up, our tester stepped away in search of commiseration coffee. Bingo! When he returned the user had approved the MFA push.

The best advice for outsmarting a professional phisherman is to confirm a communication’s legitimacy with the person or organization that allegedly sent it. But what about the phish within the phish? For this, our team created a complex phishing email claiming to be from our customer’s own IT department. Using company branding and styles found on publicly available customer sites, the branded email urged users to login to their email, using a link provided in the email of course, to re-authenticate after an upgrade. You guessed it, this link was for a phishing site that stole the entered credentials and then redirected, smoke and mirrors style, to an error page. Here’s where the darkness became all encompassing. Both the email and the error page provided a number to contact IT for help. Not only did employees enter credentials, but the phone started ringing. Grateful to have the call answered quickly by a friendly person, several of these people told our tester other sites where those credentials should work and provided info that helped our tester login. Trust and rapport were inferred because the employees made the call to the phisher instead of the other way around.

Frequently Asked Questions About Phishing Testing

Phishing penetration testing is a controlled security assessment where ethical hackers attempt to compromise an organization using the same email, voice, and social engineering tactics real attackers use. Unlike automated phishing simulation platforms, a penetration test goes beyond measuring click rates: testers actively exploit harvested credentials to demonstrate real world impact.

KnowBe4 or Proofpoint send templated emails and track clicks. A Raxis phishing penetration test is a hands-on engagement conducted by Red Team engineers who build custom campaigns, harvest live credentials, and, when scope allows, use them to demonstrate lateral movement, data access, and full compromise. You get attacker level insight, not just awareness metrics.

Most organizations benefit from testing at least twice per year, enough to measure improvement and adapt to evolving tactics. Organizations in regulated industries or those with high employee turnover should consider quarterly assessments.

Yes. Many compliance frameworks require periodic social engineering assessments. A Raxis phishing penetration test provides the documentation and evidence auditors look for, while delivering security value well beyond the compliance requirement.

Vishing, or voice phishing, uses phone calls to manipulate employees into revealing sensitive information. Vishing attacks surged 442% in 2024, yet most organizations have never tested their defenses against them. Raxis conducts live, human operated vishing assessments to expose this blind spot.

It depends on the engagement scope. In a basic assessment, we log the interaction and include it in reporting. In a full Red Team engagement, we use harvested credentials to continue the attack, attempting account access, lateral movement, and data exfiltration, to demonstrate the real consequences of a successful phish.
