Phishing Simulation in Ely
Sending controlled test phishing to staff at Ely organisations. Done well this builds awareness and gives you a real measure; done badly it damages trust — simulations using cruel pretexts like fake redundancy notices have caused genuine harm and lasting resentment at several organisations.
Why this comes up
The problem
Nobody knows how staff would respond to a convincing phishing email, and training has been delivered without any way to tell whether it changed anything.
What you get
What we deliver
- Scenarios realistic but not cruel, avoiding pretexts that cause genuine distress
- Difficulty raised gradually rather than starting with something almost undetectable
- Immediate teaching for anyone who clicks, delivered without blame
- Reporting rate measured as the primary outcome
- Results reported by group, never used to single out individuals
- Repeat runs over time, since a single simulation is a snapshot not a programme

Phishing Simulation in Ely — common questions
- Can simulations backfire?
- Yes, and there are well-publicised cases. Simulations offering fake bonuses or announcing fake redundancies have caused real distress and lasting damage to trust in the security team. The pretext matters, and cruelty is not realism.
- Should individuals be named?
- No. Reporting by department shows where support is needed without turning it into a disciplinary exercise. Naming individuals reliably produces people who hide mistakes rather than report them, which is the opposite of the outcome you want.
- What does a good result look like?
- A high reporting rate. Click rate matters and never reaches zero — some proportion of any workforce will click a sufficiently good phish. What determines whether that becomes an incident is how quickly someone tells you, which is the number to watch.
- How often should we run them?
- Quarterly suits most organisations. Running them more often becomes background noise that people learn to ignore, while annually is far too infrequent to build any habit. Consistency matters more than volume here, and every run should teach something rather than merely testing whether staff fail.
- Do you work with businesses across Cambridgeshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including Ely and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Ely businesses do you usually work with?
- Grower and packhouse systems handling seasonal labour, traceability and supermarket compliance requirements. Beyond that we work across Agriculture, Food Production, Tourism & Heritage, Retail and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Ely?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including Cambridge, Peterborough, Norwich. Ely is an urban area of roughly 20,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cambridgeshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
