category

Social engineering and breach simulation

market profile

  • text: Security teams are looking beyond awareness training to test whether impersonation leads to access and whether controls respond.
  • text: The company offers an initial free campaign and a demo-led evaluation.

personas

  • title: CISO or head of information security
    pains:
    • Cannot show leadership whether human and technical controls stop an attack
    • Awareness completion rates do not establish actual exposure
  • title: Security operations or red team lead
    pains:
    • Needs evidence of what controls detect and what remains exploitable
    • Remediation requires repeat testing and coordination with control owners

icp

  • text: Organizations with dedicated security teams and employee-facing systems; exact company size is not specified.
  • text: Technology-enabled businesses with security leadership are evidenced by testimonials from Eight Sleep and Fella Health.

message pillars

  • text: Connect human testing to technical attack simulation.
  • text: Look beyond initial message response.
  • text: Close and verify identified gaps.

objections

  • objection: Will testing disrupt staff or systems?
    response: The first campaign specifies people, systems and stopping points in advance; agree the scope with the security team.
  • objection: We already run phishing awareness training.
    response: GhostEye positions its tests around the subsequent control response and remediation rather than a message response alone.
