SMS Phishing (Smishing) Simulation: Test Mobile Security & Text Phishing

HumanShield’s SMS phishing (smishing) simulation lets you safely test mobile security against text phishing. Our platform targets mobile phishing behaviours across real-world message styles and carriers, helping you reduce text threats and strengthen SMS security for frontline, field and remote teams.

The Growing Threat of SMS Phishing

Smishing is a growing threat as attackers exploit mobile habits, shortened links and delivery/MFA pretexts to launch mobile attacks. With employees increasingly working on phones, text messages bypass email filters and reach users instantly — making mobile-first simulations essential for realistic risk reduction.

How Smishing Simulation Works

Our program mirrors attacker techniques while keeping users safe. Admins configure cohorts, schedules and lures; employees receive realistic texts; outcomes are recorded; and just-in-time coaching closes the loop. The how it works methodology emphasizes frequent, low-friction drills that build habits: verify sender, expand short links, avoid urgent payment prompts, and report suspicious messages.

Realistic Text Message Phishing Scenarios

To change behaviour, simulations must feel authentic. We craft realistic scenarios that match everyday text messages — parcels, payroll, MFA reset, banking alerts, travel changes — so staff practice in the same channel attackers use.

Pre-Built Smishing Templates

Launch quickly with a library of templates that are pre-built and ready. Each template supports tokenized variables (names, locations, order IDs) to increase realism while maintaining safe testing boundaries.

Industry-Specific Text Scenarios

Deploy industry-specific lures for your vertical — retail delivery updates, healthcare appointment links, finance OTP resets, field-service dispatches — ensuring every cohort sees relevant risks they’re likely to encounter.

Multi-Device Testing (iOS, Android)

Validate behaviour across platforms with iOS and Android support. Cross-device, cross-platform UX differences (link previews, warning banners) are considered so your controls and training land effectively everywhere users work.

Track Mobile Device Security Response

Measure what matters on mobile: clicks, data-entry attempts, report rates, and time-to-report. Our mobile tracking provides cohort views for SOC, HR and training teams, connecting device security insights with targeted remediation.

Real-Time Response Tracking

See tracking data as it happens. Monitoring and metrics dashboards show engagement by template, team and region, enabling rapid follow-ups and minimising campaign fatigue.

Mobile-Specific Training Content

Failures trigger concise training tailored to mobile behaviours — expanding short links, checking sender IDs, disabling auto-linking, and reporting via approved channels. This just-in-time education raises awareness without slowing work.

SMS Phishing Simulation Features

Everything required to run governed smishing programs at scale — from realistic content to analytics and integrations. These features package enterprise-grade capabilities with simple admin controls so your team can focus on outcomes.

Integration with Mobile Device Management

Connect to MDM / UEM solutions for policy alignment, reporting and remediation. This integration streamlines management workflows (e.g., auto-enrolling devices into training, pushing reporting shortcuts, enforcing SMS link policies where supported).
