Read the executive summary report

Open, interpret, and share the executive summary for a phishing campaign so leadership sees the risk and your team knows what to do next.

This is what you send after a phishing campaign closes. Your sponsor reads it for one headline: are we getting better, and where do we still have a problem? Everything on the page is arranged to answer that in a single screen.

Find your report

Open Reports in the sidebar and pick the Executive Summary card.

Choose the campaign you want. The list covers campaigns that have reached the sending provider, so one you started but never launched won't be there. Scheduled campaigns do show up before they send, and opening one tells you the results aren't in yet.

Reports catalog with the Executive Summary card highlighted

The page you land on is headed Phishing Simulation Report, and each campaign has its own stable URL, so you can bookmark it or send an exec back to it later.

What each section shows

The three metric cards

Total Employees is how many people took part, with the number of simulations and emails behind it for a recurring campaign. Click Rate is the share of recipients who clicked the link. Report Rate is the share who used the report-phish button, and it only appears once at least one person has reported.

Click Rate carries a risk label: High above 15 percent, Medium above 5 percent, and Low at 5 percent or under. Report Rate is graded the other way round, because more is better: Good Awareness at 50 percent or above, Moderate Awareness at 25 percent or above, and Needs Improvement below that.

Both labels grade a single campaign, so compare successive campaigns to see which direction the rates are moving.

AI insights and risk assessment

A short generated narrative below the cards points at what stood out and where the risk concentrates. Under it, a card pairs an overall posture of High, Medium, or Low Risk with a sentence explaining why, and sets recommendations beside it. There are always exactly three, generated from the campaign result.

Three things are worth raising with a sponsor when you see them: a click rate rising across consecutive campaigns, a handful of repeat clickers driving most of the risk, and a report rate near zero.

Simulation tests

When a campaign ran more than one test, this table breaks out each one by name, group, start date, and target count. It is what you point at when an exec asks which template tripped people up.

Employees requiring additional training

The bottom table lists everyone who clicked, whether they clicked once or multiple times, and when they last clicked. Multiple clicks is the column to act on: those people need a follow-up enrollment.

There is also a department column, but it isn't your HR data. Hook derives it from the email domain, so jdoe@acme.test shows up under "acme". Read it as a rough grouping, not an org chart.

Share it

Export PDF gives you a print-ready version for a board deck or compliance evidence. Email opens a picker of org users and sends them the same PDF. For a copy every month or quarter without you doing anything, set up automated delivery.

What to do next

Take the repeat clickers off the bottom table and give them something targeted with Assign training to groups, then queue the next campaign so the comparison data exists in a month. Brief your sponsor on the three cards, the risk level, and your one-line plan.
