Phortress™ is a fully managed phishing simulation and human-risk protection service
for organizations under 1,000 employees.
We run the program. You get reduced risk — and the proof.
Phishing is how attackers get in. From there, it can lead to credential theft, malware infections, ransomware, business email compromise, vendor fraud, payroll redirects, and account takeovers.
Most organizations don’t fail because of bad technology. They fail because phishing is a human behavior problem — and no one has the time to manage it consistently.
Many companies license phishing tools and try to manage them internally. In practice, the responsibility lands on someone already wearing multiple hats.
Tools don’t run programs. People do.
The difference isn’t features — it’s who actually runs the program.

No dashboards. No chasing. Just a system that runs.
Phortress is delivered as a fully managed service — not a self-service tool. Each option below is designed to meet organizations at different stages, from initial risk assessment to ongoing program management.
A point-in-time phishing risk assessment that shows how your organization responds to a real-world phishing attempt — with clear, executive-ready results.
Best for: Organizations that want a low-risk way to assess phishing exposure before deciding on an ongoing program.
Snapshot provides a point-in-time view of risk. Ongoing risk reduction requires a managed program.
Periodic phishing simulations delivered quarterly, providing ongoing visibility into risk without dashboards, tools, or internal management.
Best for: Organizations that want predictable monitoring but are not ready for a full phishing risk program.
Lite provides periodic monitoring and reporting, but does not include continuous optimization, policy-based escalation, or program ownership.
Phortress Standard is a fully managed phishing risk program, not a point-in-time assessment or periodic check. We take ongoing responsibility for running, enforcing, and improving your phishing defense — and producing the documentation that proves it.
Best for: Organizations that want phishing risk actively managed, enforced, and documented — not just measured.
Talk to SalesMost organizations begin with Snapshot or Lite to establish baseline risk, then move to Phortress Standard when they’re ready for ongoing risk ownership and proof.
