Case Study: Fost Plus reduces phishing click rate from 49% to 11% with Phished

How Phished Helps Fost Plus In Challenging Homeworking Times

Fost Plus, a 63-employee organisation that coordinates the selective collection, sorting and recycling of household packaging waste, faced a sharp rise in phishing risk after the shift to homeworking. After an initial simulated campaign revealed a 49% click rate, Fost Plus turned to Phished to assess staff vulnerability and deliver a simulation-and-training solution to strengthen employee cyber-awareness.

Phished implemented automated, periodic targeted phishing simulations with immediate, concise training for anyone who fell for a test, integrating the programme into existing communications with minimal IT effort. The approach reduced Fost Plus’s simulated phishing rate from 49% to 11% by February 2021, with all 63 employees active on the Phished platform and clear, measurable improvements in organizational awareness.
