Your organisation knows exactly where human-layer risk sits and which teams or individuals require targeted awareness intervention. Your security awareness programme is focused where it will reduce the most exposure. Your board and regulators have evidence that human-layer controls have been tested.
Business email compromise, credential phishing, and spear phishing are consistent initial access vectors across APAC breach scenarios. The adversaries behind these attacks invest in making their campaigns convincing. They research targets, impersonate trusted contacts, and design pretexts that create urgency and bypass critical thinking.
Periodic security awareness training tells employees what phishing looks like in theory. A phishing exercise tests whether that knowledge translates into different behaviour under realistic conditions. Phishing exercises across APAC consistently surface the same patterns in human-layer risk. Most organisations find the gap between training and behaviour is significant.
Theos phishing exercises are designed by practitioners with direct knowledge of the social engineering techniques used against APAC enterprises. Every campaign begins with an understanding of who your organisation is, what your employees receive, and what pretexts an adversary would use to gain access.
Theos designs campaign pretexts around the threat actors and techniques most relevant to your industry and market. Financial services clients receive campaigns that reflect the credential harvesting and BEC techniques targeting that sector. Technology companies receive campaigns that mirror supply chain and software-themed pretexts.
APAC organisations operate across multiple languages and cultures. Theos designs phishing campaigns in the languages your employees actually work in, including English, Mandarin, Tagalog, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malaysia, Cantonese, and other regional languages. Language-specific campaigns reveal susceptibility patterns across your full workforce.
Theos delivers both targeted spear phishing campaigns against specific individuals or departments and broad-based awareness simulations across the full organisation. The format is agreed based on your objectives: targeted campaigns provide high-fidelity data on specific risk populations; broad-based campaigns provide a baseline across the full workforce.
Every exercise produces a structured findings report covering click rates, credential submission rates, reporting rates, and department-level breakdowns. Recommendations are prioritised by exposure: which departments need immediate intervention, which pretexts produced the highest engagement, and what changes to your awareness programme will reduce risk most effectively.
Know exactly where human-layer risk sits and direct intervention accordingly.
Identify which teams and roles carry the highest social engineering risk.
Reveal susceptibility patterns across your full workforce.
Direct employee security awareness training where it will reduce the most exposure.
Documented evidence of human-layer security testing increasingly recognised under MAS TRM, HKMA iCAST, BNM RMiT, and BSP frameworks.
Phishing findings feed directly into red team pretext design and security awareness programme development.
Theos works with your team to define the campaign scope, the target population, the format, and the pretexts to be used. Rules of engagement are agreed, including notification protocols and any scoping constraints.
Theos designs the campaign assets: phishing emails, landing pages, and credential harvesting infrastructure. All assets are built to reflect actual adversary techniques and tested for deliverability before launch.
Campaigns are launched across the agreed target population on a defined schedule. Theos tracks response in real time: clicks, credential submissions, and reports from employees who identify the simulation.
Employees who engage with the simulation receive immediate post-click education explaining what they encountered, what the indicators of the simulation were, and what to do when they encounter a real phishing attempt.
Theos delivers a structured findings report covering campaign results by department, pretext, and language. Click rates, credential submission rates, and reporting rates are documented with benchmark context and prioritised recommendations for awareness programme improvement.
Simulated login pages capturing username and password submission rates
Simulated malicious attachment campaigns measuring open and execute rates
Simulated malicious URL campaigns measuring click-through rates
Targeted campaigns impersonating known contacts, vendors, or leadership
Simulated payment instruction or wire transfer request campaigns
Telephone-based social engineering simulation where in scope
SMS-based phishing simulation for mobile-heavy workforces
If your organisation has run security awareness training and has yet to test whether it changed behaviour, a phishing exercise provides the baseline measurement your programme needs. Findings direct intervention where it will reduce the most exposure.
MAS TRM, HKMA iCAST, BNM RMiT, and BSP frameworks all include human-layer security controls as a component of a mature security programme. Theos delivers phishing tests in Singapore structured to meet MAS TRM human-layer security requirements. Phishing exercise documentation provides the evidence that those controls have been tested.
For APAC organisations operating across multiple countries and languages, English–only phishing testing produces an incomplete picture. Theos multi-language capability reveals susceptibility patterns across the full workforce.
Red team engagements frequently use phishing as an initial access vector. A phishing exercise run before a red team engagement provides a realistic baseline of human-layer susceptibility, informing how the red team designs its social engineering campaign.
Adversaries targeting organisations in this region invest in campaigns that reflect the languages, cultural contexts, and pretexts that make their targets act. Theos does the same.
Phishing exercise findings feed directly into red team pretext design, social engineering scope, and security awareness programme development. For organisations working with Theos across multiple service lines, the intelligence compounds. A susceptibility gap identified in a phishing exercise becomes a social engineering vector in the next red team engagement.
Theos phishing campaigns are designed by practitioners with direct knowledge of the social engineering techniques targeting APAC enterprises.
Theos Phishing Exercises tell you where human-layer risk sits and what to do about it. Real campaigns. Measurable findings. Awareness programme improvement that targets the gaps that matter.
We deliver outcomes.
