Targeted phishing awareness tests by A1 Digital
Many companies raise their teams' awareness of phishing through mandatory annual training sessions or one-time awareness tests. However, attackers are constantly changing their methods, and without regular training vigilance quickly wanes.
With our Phishing as a Service, your employees' training runs continuously in the background. We plan, manage, and evaluate everything automatically so you can see how security awareness is evolving in your company at any time.

How our phishing test service works
1
Current attack scenarios
We use scenarios based on real-world threats. From simple spam to CEO fraud to targeted spear-phishing (personalized attacks on specific individuals), we employ a variety of psychological triggers such as a sense of urgency, curiosity, or feigned authority.

With Phishing as a Service, we handle all campaign scheduling for you. Our phishing awareness software automatically sends out the simulations every two to four weeks. This keeps your employees’ vigilance high at all times, without requiring any manual intervention on your part.
3
Immediate learning effect
Anyone who clicks on a simulated phishing email is immediately redirected to a training page. There, your employees will receive a brief, easy-to-understand explanation of how they could have recognized the attack. There are no consequences.
Features of our phishing simulation test
Campaign planning
The tool allows you to plan phishing simulations based on content, time frame, and recipient groups. This enables you to implement targeted scenarios for individual teams, departments, or the entire company.
Sending phishing emails
Our phishing awareness test automatically sends phishing emails over a defined period of time. This allows for the controlled and structured testing of realistic attack scenarios.
User interactions
The software tracks user input during the campaign. This shows how many people are interacting with the content and entering sensitive data.
Reporting
Our Phishing as a Service provides results such as logins, password complexity, and the timeline of events in a report. This creates a solid foundation for assessing the level of security.
Trend analysis
Compare results with previous campaigns and identify trends over time. In addition, you can organize reports by department to develop targeted strategies.
Raising awareness
The simulation software supplements the phishing analysis with specific recommendations for next steps. This allows you to improve your measures in a targeted manner and repeatedly assess the effectiveness of your training.
Frequently asked questions about phishing tests & simulations
In a phishing simulation, employees receive test emails that look deceptively real but are harmless. These emails mimic real attacks and use the same methods as cybercriminals. With these phishing tests, companies can determine whether employees click on a link or enter data, and train them accordingly. The goal is to permanently strengthen employees’ security awareness through regular practice.
Phishing is one of the most common attack methods used by cybercriminals, who exploit the human factor as a gateway into a company. While technical safeguards help mitigate the risk, company data is even better protected when employees actively help prevent cyberattacks. A one-time phishing test service reveals how aware the workforce is of the issue. Ongoing simulations help establish a lasting routine, but only those who practice regularly can reliably recognize attacks even when their attention is elsewhere.
A phishing campaign is a time-limited phishing test for companies that is conducted in a targeted manner over a predefined period. At the end, companies receive a structured report with recommendations for action. This is useful for determining the current status once or for establishing a basis for an audit. The phishing simulation operates on the Phishing as a Service principle: The simulation provider takes on the task on an ongoing basis and delivers long-term evaluations and recommendations for action.
