300+ security assessments give Andersen repeatable methods to identify mail, identity, and user weaknesses before a live attack disrupts business.
Phishing Assessment
Andersen's phishing assessment measures how people, policies, and email controls respond to a targeted lure. The review identifies risky user actions, maps threat exposure, and shows where security awareness and response procedures need improvement.
Proven expertise in phishing assessment and cybersecurity

19+ years in IT let Andersen align controls with cloud mail, endpoint, and governance process needs across each industry.

Review phishing exposure before a live campaign reaches your critical users
Security certifications and credentials
Our phishing assessment practice is backed by penetration testing, security management, and data privacy certifications, so leaders can assure auditors that verified experts run every engagement.
Benefits of phishing assessment
Improve security visibility
The review links user behavior, mail telemetry, and control status across inbox, gateway, and reporting layers, giving teams concrete evidence of where control failure starts first and which users face the highest phishing exposure.
Uncover security gaps
Each finding ties a missed control to a user action, mail-flow weakness, or configuration error, so remediation starts with a provable gap, clear root cause, and better evidence instead of guesswork or broad policy changes.
Validate security controls
Safe simulations and log checks confirm whether existing safeguards block attacker steps at the right stage, reducing false assurance and showing which filters, alerts, or approval controls fail before a real incident occurs.
