Social Engineering Penetration Testing

Safeguard your organization with globally trusted security assessments.

Test the Human Element Before It’s Exploited

Nullayer conducts controlled social engineering engagements—both virtual and on-site—to assess how real-world attackers could manipulate, deceive, or gain access through human behavior. 

Your Security Is Only as Strong as Your People

Even the most secure infrastructure can be compromised through a well-crafted email, a convincing phone call, or a confident intruder at the front desk. Social engineering remains one of the most effective attack vectors—and one of the least tested. Nullayer delivers targeted, ethical social engineering simulations to identify weaknesses in human-centric controls, policies, and awareness. 

What We Offer

Virtual (Remote) Social Engineering

We simulate real-world digital attack scenarios designed to test your employees’ ability to recognize and resist manipulation.

  • Spear phishing campaigns (custom or mass emails) 
  • Voice phishing (vishing) calls and pretexting 
  • Smishing (SMS-based phishing) 
  • Credential harvesting using cloned login pages 
  • Multi-factor authentication bypass scenarios 
  • Response tracking, behavioral analysis, and resilience reporting 

On-Site (Physical) Social Engineering

We simulate physical breach attempts and insider impersonation tactics to test access controls, employee vigilance, and visitor policies.

  • Tailgating and badge cloning attempts 
  • Posing as contractors, vendors, or staff 
  • Dumpster diving for sensitive documents 
  • Physical placement of rogue devices (e.g., keyloggers or wireless access points) 
  • Security desk, reception, and facility testing 
  • Exit strategies, escalation protocols, and breach documentation 

Our Process

Planning and Scoping

We work with your security team to define clear objectives, identify boundaries, and ensure a safe and authorized engagement that aligns with your risk tolerance.

Attack Simulation

Our operators craft realistic, customized scenarios based on current threat actor tactics. Each attempt is carefully documented for accuracy, ethics, and post-test evaluation.

Impact Analysis

We go beyond just “who clicked”—we track how far the compromise could have gone, from credential use to access gained, including response times and internal escalation effectiveness.

Reporting and Awareness Recommendations

You receive a clear report that includes observed behaviors, exploited gaps, timeline of events, and tailored recommendations to strengthen policies, training, and controls.

Why Nullayer

Real-World Tactics

Our team uses techniques modeled on actual threat actor behavior—not generic phishing kits or outdated templates.

Highly Controlled Engagements

All simulations are coordinated and approved in advance, with safety measures in place to protect employees and operations.

Behavioral Insights, Not Just Metrics

We help you understand the why behind employee decisions—informing better training and cultural improvements.

Security Culture Development

Our findings don’t just highlight risk—they become a catalyst for strengthening awareness and building a security-first mindset across your organization.
