Is this a real email? How would you tell if it wasn’t?
Most cyber attacks begin the same way. A staff member receives an email that looks legitimate, clicks a link they trust, and unknowingly gives an attacker access. This single moment of human error is still the number one cause of breaches.
Human error is the number one risk factor in your organisation, and yet most cybersecurity doesn’t account for this at all, instead focussing purely on software and network security.
To help reduce this risk of human error, we are offering free phishing simulation setup and campaign management for all clients until the end of March 2026.
What Is Phishing Simulation Training?
Phishing simulation training is not a classroom session, we’re not standing there with a whiteboard and reciting statistics about malware and viruses. Instead, it’s a real-world test of how your employees respond to suspicious emails.
Here is how it works:
- Your staff receive emails that look like genuine phishing attempts.
- These emails are harmless but designed to mimic the very tactics used by real cyber criminals.
- If one of your staff clicks a link or enters their details, they are taken to an educational page instead of a malicious site.
- You receive a report showing who interacted with the emails and where your organisation may be vulnerable.
- Over time, repeated simulations help employees learn to recognise potential phishing emails and take the correct action if they suspect an email is not genuine.
It is practical, measurable, and one of the most effective ways to strengthen your security.
Why It Matters
Ask yourself this. How confident are you that every member of your team can spot a well crafted phishing email? Not the obvious ones, but the convincing ones. The ones that appear to come from a supplier, a client, from Microsoft, or even from within your own organisation.
Your staff might see an email and landing page like these. Do you think they would guess they were fake? Would you guess they were?
Phishing simulation removes the guesswork. You find out exactly how your team behaves when faced with a realistic threat.
And more importantly, you can identify and correct weaknesses before a real attacker has a chance to exploit them.
What You Get for Free
Although phishing simulation platforms require paid licences, every part of the setup and campaign management is covered by us at no extra cost. This includes:
- Creating and scheduling simulation campaigns
- Customising templates to match real attack patterns
- Reviewing and reporting on results
- Advising on improvement
- Adjusting difficulty levels over time
Why We Are Offering This Now
Threats are increasing, and businesses are being targeted more often and with more convincing techniques. Phishing simulation is one of the most effective defences, but many organisations never get around to implementing it.
By offering all campaign setup and management for free, we want to remove the barriers and help clients build genuine cyber resilience.
The more prepared your team is, the less likely you are to suffer downtime, data loss, or disruption.
How to Get Started
The process is simple. If you want to begin phishing simulation testing, contact your Carden IT Services account manager.
We will explain the licence options, set everything up for you, and handle each campaign throughout the year.
Do not wait until the first real phishing email slips through. Use the free setup period to strengthen your first line of defence.
