Call-back verification
Whether teams verify a supplier or executive request through a trusted, independent contact path.
Finance workflow protection
Vendor payment fraud simulation for finance and procurement teams
Test how teams handle supplier impersonation, urgent transfer requests and bank-detail changes before a real payment fraud event creates loss.
Payment fraud exposure
Most losses happen when verification breaks under urgency
Vendor payment fraud rarely depends on technical compromise alone. It succeeds when a believable message, call or follow-up pushes a team to change bank details, expedite a transfer or override approval steps.
Deceptiment uses governed simulations to show whether finance and procurement workflows remain safe when an attacker appears to be a supplier, an internal approver or a senior executive pressing for speed.
Control points01 02 03 04
Measure whether the right payment controls really hold
Approval integrity
Whether urgent framing leads to bypassed dual approval, missed segregation of duties or undocumented exceptions.
Escalation discipline
Whether suspicious change requests are escalated quickly enough to prevent progression toward payment.
Response containment
Whether finance, security and leadership know how to stop, review and document a suspected fraud attempt.
Scenario families01 02 03 04

Executive urgency
Authority-based requests that pressure finance staff to prioritize confidentiality and speed over verification.
Thread continuation
Multi-step scenarios that use follow-up messages or calls to reinforce the apparent legitimacy of the request.
Decision evidence
Reports focus on where controls held, where exceptions happened and what remediation will reduce repeat exposure.
