Phishing tests that run themselves.

Simulations launch on schedule. When someone clicks, targeted training fires automatically. You never chase spreadsheets, build a campaign by hand, or wait on a report — you just watch click rates drop.

How it runs

What running on autopilot looks like.

Here's everything that happens automatically, once a campaign is configured.

◫

Auto-scheduled simulations

Set your frequency once — monthly, weekly, whatever fits. Campaigns go out on their own from then on.

◎

Auto-assigned remediation

Clicked a simulation? Investigation Lab training assigns itself based on what fired — no manual follow-up.

▣

Auto-generated reports

Weekly summaries — click trends, department patterns — land in your dashboard without building a report by hand.

↗

Auto-adjusted difficulty

As people get sharper, tactics get harder to spot — so resilience keeps climbing instead of plateauing.

Set it once

Set it once. It runs forever.

Other platforms need someone to run the program. Trawl runs itself.

01

Simulations launch automatically

Pick a schedule. Tests go out on their own — you don't have to remember to send them.

02

Someone clicks

Instant, teachable moment. No one is publicly called out.

03

Training fires automatically

Investigation Lab assigns a short module matched to the exact attack type that fired, while it's still fresh.

04

Reports generate themselves

Weekly summaries land in your inbox — updated automatically, no spreadsheet required.

Live interactive demo

Click through an attack yourself.

Stop reading about phishing simulations — walk through one. See the click moment, the training that fires, and the report that lands on your desk. Under two minutes.

Why it works

Phishing tests that actually change behavior.

Not just testing. Not just catching people out. Fixing the gap.

✦

Tests real threats, not theory

Templates are pulled from current phishing campaigns — credential harvesting, executive impersonation, malware attachments, and more.

◎

Teaches, doesn't shame

When someone clicks, they get a short, private teaching moment — not a public callout. Learning moments that actually change behavior.

◫

Fixes the problem automatically

A click assigns Investigation Lab training on its own. No manual follow-up, no awkward conversations to schedule.

↗

Adapts to risk

High-risk users get tested more often. Low-risk users get tested less. The frequency doesn't annoy your best people.

Template library

Every attack. Every vector.

New templates added as real-world attacks evolve. If attackers are sending it, Trawl can test it.

◎

Credential Harvesting

Microsoft 365, Google, and fake login pages — the attacks that hit most organizations first.

◫

CEO Fraud / BEC

Wire transfers, gift-card requests, and urgent impersonation of leadership.

▣

Malware & Attachments

Macro-enabled documents and fake downloads — tested without live malicious infrastructure.

✦

Brand Spoofing

Amazon, FedEx, IT support, and the everyday emails people let their guard down for.

◈

Smishing & Vishing

SMS and voice-call scenarios — because the attack isn't just the inbox anymore.

↗

Social Engineering

Multi-step impersonation and pretexting that plays out over several touchpoints.

Simulation finds the gaps. Training closes them.

◎Investigation Lab

Learn by investigating, not just clicking.

Every click can route straight into a real Investigation Lab case — sender, domain, links, headers — instead of a static warning screen.

Simulation results feed real courses.

Scheduled courses, SCORM delivery, and phishing-triggered training moments — all connected to what your simulations find.

FAQ

Phishing simulation FAQ.

Common questions about phishing simulation programs, on Trawl and elsewhere.

A controlled, fake phishing email sent to employees to test whether they can recognize a real phishing attempt — without the risk of an actual attack. It mimics the tactics real attackers use, in a safe environment.

You set a schedule and target groups once. Trawl sends realistic simulated emails, tracks who clicks or reports, and automatically assigns Investigation Lab training to anyone who fails.

Most organizations run simulations monthly, with high-risk users tested more often. Trawl's adaptive difficulty adjusts frequency as behavior improves.

They're routed to a short, private teaching moment — not a public callout — and Investigation Lab training tied to that exact attack type is assigned automatically.

Credential harvesting, CEO fraud/BEC, malware attachments, brand spoofing, smishing, vishing, and multi-step social engineering — see the template library above.

Consistent, realistic simulation paired with immediate training is one of the better-evidenced ways to reduce click-through rates over time — the key is pairing the test with the teaching moment, not testing alone.

Once a campaign is configured, Trawl runs it — scheduling, remediation, and reporting all happen automatically, without ongoing manual work.
