Monitor Your Cyber Stack
Free Phishing Simulator for Small Business Teams
Phishing is the #1 attack vector against SMBs — roughly 1 in 5 small businesses were hit by a phishing incident in 2025 (Proofpoint State of the Phish). This free phishing simulator and phishing test for employees generates industry-specific scenarios so you can train your team before attackers do.
How it works: describe your team → generate scenarios → get a training plan in minutes.
Why SMBs Need a Phishing Simulator
Small businesses are the most-targeted segment for phishing attacks because attackers know SMBs have smaller security teams and less mature training programs. A single click from a finance or operations employee can lead to credential theft, business email compromise (BEC), or ransomware delivery. Quarterly phishing simulations are the most cost-effective way to baseline and improve your team's click rate — and they're explicitly required or expected by SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and most cyber insurance carriers.
How the Phishing Simulator Works
Three steps. No account, no payment, no real emails sent to your team — the output is a phishing simulation plan and training material you can run internally.
Tell the simulator your industry, team size, current security training level, and the attack vectors you most worry about (credential theft, BEC, smishing, vishing).
AI produces realistic phishing email templates, smishing texts, and vishing scripts matched to your industry's real-world threats — each with the red flags your team should train to spot.
See expected click rates per scenario, download a tailored employee-awareness training plan, and identify the highest-risk roles in your org. Run the test internally or pair with a training vendor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about the phishing simulator, free phishing simulation, and running a phishing test for employees at a small business.
A phishing simulation tester is an internal security testing tool that generates realistic phishing emails, SMS messages (smishing), and voice-call scripts (vishing) so your team can train against them. It identifies who would click, what red flags they miss, and how to improve. The CyberStackHub simulator is a planning tool — it produces scenarios and a training plan, it does not send real test emails to your team. You run the simulation internally, or pair with a vendor like KnowBe4 or Proofpoint.
Pick scenarios that match your industry's real threats — executive impersonation for finance, shipping notifications for operations, IT password reset lures for general staff. Run the simulation without warning to get a true baseline click rate, then deliver targeted micro-training to anyone who clicked. Repeat quarterly to measure improvement. Most frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS) expect quarterly or annual phishing simulations.
Internal phishing simulations are legal in the US and most jurisdictions when conducted within your own organization with employee awareness. Simulated phishing is a recognized security best practice endorsed by NIST SP 800-53 and required or expected by SOC 2, HIPAA, and most cyber insurance carriers. Notify employees in your acceptable-use policy that monitoring is in place to maintain trust and legal clarity.
The average initial phishing click rate across industries is around 30%. After 12 months of regular training, best-in-class organizations drop below 5%. SMBs without a training program often exceed 50%. A reasonable SMB target is below 10% within 6 months of consistent simulations and training. Click rate is one of the metrics cyber insurance underwriters review.
A free phishing simulator generates realistic phishing scenarios tailored to your industry so you can train employees without actually launching tests against production systems. CyberStackHub's free phishing simulator works in three steps: (1) describe your team — industry, size, training level, attack vectors; (2) generate scenarios — AI produces realistic phishing emails, smishing texts, and vishing scripts matched to your industry; (3) get results and a training plan — see expected click rates per scenario, download an employee awareness training plan, and identify your highest-risk roles.
