Phishing: Report → Act

Reports are gold – when quality, routing and feedback are right. This use case turns reporting into an advantage: employees know what and how to report, your team gets signal instead of noise, and you close the loop towards behaviour.

Best for

  • Reports are rare/late or inconsistent
  • Too many duplicates/false positives, triage eats up time
  • Unclear: “What should I report?” / “What happens then?”

Outcome

  • Faster reporting + faster triage
  • Better signal-to-noise (fewer duplicates, clearer classification)
  • Reporting becomes routine, not chance

What you get

  • “Good report” definition (minimum fields + examples)
  • Reporting path (button/mailbox/form) + pragmatic routing/deduplication
  • Feedback mechanism (so behaviour improves)
  • Review cadence: fix 1 quality lever monthly

Brief explanation

Your Challenge

Reporting rarely fails because of the channel – but because of uncertainty, missing feedback and too much noise. Employees report “everything” or nothing at all, security teams lose time on follow-ups and duplicates. Result: frustration on both sides.

Our Solution

We define target behaviour: report quickly, with minimal context, without discussion. Then we make the reporting path easy and route cleanly with ownership. The key: feedback closes the loop so reporting quality improves.
Typical timeframe: Setup 2–4 weeks, followed by monthly reviews.

Flow

1

Define target behaviour + “good report” standard

2

Simplify the intake channel

3

Classify + reduce duplicates

4

Route with ownership/SLA + feedback

5

Refine the loop (guidance, examples, scenarios)

Frequently asked questions

Does this lead to more reports?
Short-term, yes – but quality rises and noise drops because routing/feedback are clean.

 

Is tooling required?
Not necessarily. We start pragmatically with what’s already in place.

 

What’s the most important target behaviour?
Stop, report, don’t “forward & hope”.

 

How does it stay sustainable?
Through a fixed review cadence and ongoing simplification.

Turn reporting into a strength – not a source of noise.

Let’s build the reporting path so it actually gets used – and your team gets signal instead of noise.
