Social Engineering Testing in Inverness
Social engineering testing for Inverness organisations, where how the results will be used needs settling before anything is sent. These exercises involve deceiving your own staff, so the boundaries, the handling of individual results and the position with HR and your advisers belong agreed in writing rather than assumed.
Why this comes up
The problem
An exercise identified individuals by name and the results were circulated to their managers.
What you get
What we deliver
- Scope and boundaries agreed in writing, including pretexts that are off limits
- Individual results handled confidentially, with reporting kept at group level
- The employment and legal position confirmed with your own advisers first
- Authorisation obtained from somebody able to give it for the organisation
- Process failures identified rather than individual blame apportioned
- Follow-up training arranged, since the exercise is only useful if something changes

Social Engineering Testing in Inverness — common questions
- Why agree the handling in advance?
- Because it affects staff directly. Testing that names individuals to their managers damages trust and discourages people from reporting genuine incidents, so agreeing that results are reported at group level protects both the exercise and the working relationship.
- Are there legal considerations?
- There can be, particularly around employment matters and how results are recorded about identifiable people. It is worth confirming the position with your own advisers before commissioning, rather than treating it as a purely technical exercise.
- Which pretexts should be excluded?
- Anything exploiting genuine distress. Redundancy notices, bonus announcements, health matters and family emergencies all work extremely well and cause real harm, so agreeing what is out of bounds is part of designing an exercise people accept.
- What should the findings focus on?
- The process rather than the person. A member of staff clicking a convincing message reveals that the message reached them, that nothing flagged it and that reporting was unclear — all of which are fixable, whereas naming the individual fixes nothing and makes the next genuine incident less likely to be reported.
- Do you work with businesses across Highland?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Inverness and the surrounding Highland area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Inverness businesses do you usually work with?
- Tourism and distillery systems, and remote-capable setups for businesses operating across a very large rural area. Beyond that we work across Tourism & Hospitality, Renewable Energy, Food & Drink, Healthcare and Public Sector.
- Do you cover the areas around Inverness?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Aberdeen, Perth. Inverness is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider Highland region rather than the city boundary alone.
