Social Engineering
Perhaps that seemingly innocent sounding phone call was not so innocent.
A holistic assessment of your vulnerabilities supported by educating your workforce, can make a significant difference in reducing the risks from “The Human Factor” where deception and psychological manipulation can trick your team members into performing adverse actions such as divulging information or opening malicious attachments.
Without the right clarity, support and training, it can be a difficult balancing point between delivering high level personable service and maintaining effective security. Threat actors target organisations to obtain sensitive data, personal information or intellectual property that can harm a company’s reputation and competitive advantage and they can attempt to do this via physical intrusion but also through social engineering. The effective crafting of interactions, emails and phone calls can be utilised to trick individuals into taking actions that may not be in the best interests of the organisation and our services allow you to assess your potential risks through customised realistic exercises and assessments.

Testimonials
I had two staff attend the Conflict Identification & Response Methodology Program training on the 28th October 2021. My staff said the training was fantastic. Clear information, good interaction with Scott – the facilitator and really helpful guidance. One of the team actually used training points when confronted by an intoxicated client in the office. Highly recommend for anyone who interacts with the community
The training was really relevant to the work that I do and loved the de-escalation techniques and talk down process. The facilities were great and it was a really flexible learning environment
I would highly recommend Praesidium to any organisation seeking to upskill their workforce and mitigate their organisation’s vulnerabilities.
I found Scott’s training to be highly professional, effective, and it was well-received by all who attended, including 2 of our service executives. I have since recommended Praesidium Risk Services to a client and will continue to recommend their services for this type of training.
Since placing our duty management team through the conflict management training program with Praesidium Risk, we’ve witnessed a tangible, and measurable improvement in our team and a reduction in conflicts.
Redcape Hotel Group has engaged Scott Taylor from Praesidium as our external Security Consultant since November 2015. Scott’s role has been quite diverse and he has been a key element in the development and progression of Redcape’s Security Vision.
We engaged Scott Taylor at Praesidium to do some work with our Management team as well as all Frontline Staff and the feedback from all levels has been overwhelmingly positive. Drawing from diverse areas of study, citing real-life examples and delivered in an engaging and entertaining manner, this program was exactly what we were looking for to raise awareness of real-world challenges we face from both a risk management and customer service perspective
We engaged Scott Taylor from Praesidium to conduct Advanced Conflict Training sessions for our security personnel and club Management. Scott provided valuable insight into security fundamentals and overall risk assessment. His information was backed up with real life accounts (experience and footage) and we would definitely recommend Scott for this type of training.
