Phishing Simulation That Builds Real Security Awareness

Phishing remains one of the most common ways attackers gain access to organisations. PhishGuard helps you safely test how employees respond to realistic phishing attacks, identify areas of risk, deliver targeted training and measure improvement over time.

Common threat scenarios

The Problem

One email can become a security incident.

Attackers do not always begin with sophisticated exploits. Sometimes all they need is one employee to click a malicious link, open an attachment or enter credentials into a convincing login page.

Phishing attacks are designed to exploit

  • Trust
  • Urgency
  • Curiosity
  • Routine behaviour

Technology can block many malicious messages, but organisations also need employees who can recognise suspicious activity and know what to do when it reaches their inbox.

PhishGuard helps organisations turn phishing awareness into a measurable security capability.

What is PhishGuard?

Test your people without putting your organisation at risk.

PhishGuard is Seraph Cyber's phishing simulation and security awareness platform.

It enables organisations to run controlled phishing campaigns that replicate real-world attack techniques, measure employee behaviour and provide targeted training based on the results.

With PhishGuard, security teams can:

  • Run realistic phishing simulations
  • Track opens, clicks and risky interactions
  • Identify users and departments requiring additional support
  • Deliver targeted security-awareness training
  • Assign self-paced learning
  • Track training completion
  • Measure improvement between campaigns
  • Build a continuous human-risk programme
How PhishGuard Works

From simulation to
stronger security behaviour.

Five stages, then round again.

  1. 01

    Simulate

    Create realistic phishing campaigns that reflect the types of emails employees may encounter in the real world.

    • Credential harvesting scenarios
    • Malicious-link simulations
    • Attachment-based scenarios
    • Business Email Compromise
    • Executive impersonation
    • Password reset scams
    • HR and payroll-themed phishing
    • Delivery and invoice scams
  2. 02

    Measure

    Understand how employees respond to the simulation.

    • Email opens
    • Link clicks
    • Credential submission
    • Message reporting
    • Repeat risky behaviour
    • Department-level performance
    • Campaign trends
  3. 03

    Train

    Training can be assigned based on observed behaviour.

    • Short awareness modules
    • Self-paced learning
    • Knowledge checks
    • Quizzes
    • Targeted refresher content
  4. 04

    Retest

    Security awareness should not end after one training session.

    • Improved users
    • Repeat clickers
    • Persistent high-risk groups
    • Departments requiring additional support
  5. 05

    Improve

    Use simulation and training data to continuously strengthen your organisation's human security posture.

    Security teams can refine training, target higher-risk groups and track changes in employee resilience over time.

Awareness is not a once-a-year activity.

Human risk changes as employees join, roles change and attackers adopt new techniques. PhishGuard supports a continuous programme — Simulate, Measure, Train, Retest, Improve — and each cycle gives your organisation a clearer picture of employee behaviour and helps shape the next stage of awareness.

Core Capabilities

Everything you need to manage phishing risk.

Phishing Simulation

Create controlled phishing campaigns using realistic scenarios designed to test employee awareness safely.

Campaign Management

Build, schedule, launch and monitor phishing campaigns from one central platform.

Email Templates

Create reusable phishing templates for different attack scenarios, departments and risk levels.

Target Groups

Organise employees by department, business unit, location, role or campaign group.

Behaviour Tracking

Measure employee interaction with simulated phishing emails and identify areas requiring attention.

Security Awareness Training

Deliver structured cybersecurity-awareness content following campaigns or as part of an ongoing programme.

Self-Paced Training

Allow employees to complete security-awareness modules at their own pace while administrators track progress.

Role-Based Training

Assign relevant training based on employee responsibilities and risk exposure.

Human Risk Analytics

Understand risk across users, departments and campaigns using measurable behavioural data.

Repeat Clicker Identification

Identify users who repeatedly interact with simulated phishing messages and may require additional intervention.

The Dashboard

See your human risk at a glance.

PhishGuard brings campaign performance and training activity together in one dashboard.

The PhishGuard simulation dashboard: an AI risk recommendation, security posture (training completion, resilience rate, repeat clickers) and campaign metrics.

Security Posture

Understand the overall state of employee phishing resilience.

Training Completion

Track employees who have completed, started or not yet completed assigned training.

Resilience Rate

Measure improvement in employee behaviour across multiple campaigns.

Repeat Clickers

Identify employees who consistently demonstrate risky behaviour.

Campaign PerformanceMonitor:

  • Total campaigns
  • Active campaigns
  • Average click rate
  • Report rate
  • Targeted users
  • Training completion
  • Risk trends
Security Awareness Training

Training that follows behaviour.

Traditional annual cybersecurity training treats every employee the same. PhishGuard enables a more targeted approach.

When risky behaviour is identified, organisations can assign training relevant to what the employee encountered during the simulation.

Training topics can include:

  • Identifying phishing emails
  • Business Email Compromise
  • Credential theft
  • Password security
  • MFA attacks
  • Social engineering
  • Suspicious links and attachments
  • Safe email behaviour
  • Data protection
  • Incident reporting

Self-Paced Learning

Awareness training employees can complete when it works for them.

PhishGuard supports self-paced cybersecurity training designed to fit around employees' work schedules.

Administrators can:

  • Assign training modules
  • Set completion deadlines
  • Monitor progress
  • Track completion
  • Review assessment results
  • Send reminders
  • Identify overdue training

Employees receive accessible learning content without requiring every awareness session to be delivered in a classroom.

Human Risk Analytics

Measure behaviour, not attendance.

Security awareness should be measured by how behaviour changes. PhishGuard helps security teams monitor trends such as:

Department Risk

Which business areas require additional awareness?

Training Completion

Who has completed assigned awareness content?

Resilience Trend

Is employee behaviour improving across campaigns?

Department-Level Risk

Understand where human risk is concentrated.

Not every department faces the same threats. Finance teams may be targeted with invoice fraud. Executives may face impersonation attacks. HR teams may receive malicious CVs and employee-related requests.

PhishGuard enables organisations to compare performance across departments and develop more relevant awareness programmes.

  • Finance
  • Executive Leadership
  • Human Resources
  • Sales
  • Operations
  • IT
  • Customer Service

Targeted Scenarios

The attacks that rely on trust, not malware.

Two of the most convincing forms of phishing, and the people they are aimed at. These scenarios exploit trust, authority and familiar business processes to achieve their goals.

Executive Phishing Protection

Prepare high-risk users for targeted attacks.

Executives and senior employees are frequent targets of highly personalised social-engineering attacks. PhishGuard can be used to run targeted scenarios designed around risks such as:

  • Executive impersonation
  • Payment requests
  • Fake document sharing
  • Account reset attacks
  • Credential harvesting
  • Business Email Compromise

This helps organisations strengthen awareness among employees with elevated access or decision-making authority.

Business Email Compromise

Test your organisation against one of the most convincing forms of phishing.

Business Email Compromise often relies on trust rather than malware. PhishGuard can simulate scenarios involving:

  • Fake payment requests
  • Supplier impersonation
  • Executive impersonation
  • Changes to bank details
  • Urgent invoice requests
  • Confidential document requests

Employees learn to slow down, verify unusual requests and recognise common signs of manipulation.

For Security Leaders

Give leadership visibility into human risk.

PhishGuard helps security leaders communicate employee security risk using meaningful metrics rather than simply reporting how many people attended training.

Management can see

  • Current phishing risk
  • Campaign performance
  • High-risk departments
  • Training completion
  • Repeat behaviour
  • Reporting improvements
  • Human-risk trends

Turn awareness into measurable security improvement.

With PhishGuard, organisations can:

  • Identify employees most susceptible to phishing
  • Understand department-level risk
  • Measure employee reporting behaviour
  • Deliver training where it is needed
  • Track training completion
  • Reduce repeat risky behaviour
  • Demonstrate awareness activity to management
  • Build evidence for security and compliance programmes
  • Track human-risk improvement over time
