Why Financial Firms in London Trust PhishTest

Phishing remains the most common and effective method attackers use to breach financial firms. Whether it’s fake FCA emails, bogus invoice requests, or credential theft, these scams are getting harder to spot and financial institutions are high-value targets.

Regulators like the FCA and PRA now expect firms to go beyond firewalls and antivirus software. They want to see that you’re actively managing cyber risk, and that includes training staff to recognize and respond to threats.

That’s where PhishTest by Maple comes in.

What We Offer

As a London-based MSP that works closely with financial firms, we’ve designed PhishTest to meet both your security and compliance needs. Here's what it includes:

• Realistic, financial-sector phishing simulations
  We use constantly updated templates based on real-world attacks targeting UK financial institutions including FCA impersonation, invoice scams, and Office365 credential harvesting.
  

• Low-disruption, ongoing testing
  Simulations are run discreetly and regularly, so staff build awareness over time without becoming desensitised to alerts.
  

• Clear reporting and insights
  Each month, you’ll get a breakdown of open and click rates, flagged users, and overall risk trends easy to digest and ready to share with compliance teams or auditors.
  

• Built-in support for follow-up
  Choose to redirect users who fall for tests to brief training content, or connect them directly with our advisory team for tailored guidance.

Why It Works

PhishTest isn’t a one-time box-tick. It’s a continuous program that helps build a stronger security culture across your firm. That makes it far more effective than traditional, once-a-year phishing drills. It’s designed for London-based financial firms and stays relevant with current threat trends and FCA expectations.

Supports Regulatory Compliance

PhishTest directly supports your operational resilience goals and helps demonstrate alignment with FCA SYSC 3.2.6 and PRA SS1/21 guidance on cybersecurity and employee awareness. It also gives you the data to prove you’re actively managing phishing risk something regulators increasingly want to see.

Try It Free for One Month

We offer a one-month free trial with no strings attached. It's a great way for CISOs, compliance officers, and IT leads to benchmark staff readiness, see how the platform works, and get a feel for the insights it provides.
