We try to steal your money before someone else does.
A lookalike vendor, a synthetic voice, an urgent bank change. We run the fraud the way a real crew would, stop at the exact moment the money would have left, and hand the CFO a scored result and a fix list.
Sample scenario with fictional companies.
Your callback control has never been tested by someone trying to beat it.
Mid-market finance teams move real money with two to eight people. IT may phish the staff. Nobody tests the money-movement process end to end and reports it in dollars and minutes.
The insurance gap lands on the CFO
Social-engineering coverage is often sublimited at $50k to $250k, and carriers increasingly make a callback to a previously known number a condition of coverage. The loss above the sublimit is yours. So is the loss if the callback was skipped.

The attack got cheap. The control did not change.
Real-time voice cloning is a commodity tool. Meanwhile 69% of finance teams still rely on manual checks such as callbacks. A callback to the number in the email is not a control. It is part of the attack.

Spot the lookalike.
Your AP inbox gets a remittance update from a vendor you pay every month. One of these senders is real. Click the ones you would trust.
Five rounds. Fictional vendor names. Real crews register domains like these days before the attack.
Awareness platforms test your people. We test whether your money can leave.
A real attack on one process
A lookalike vendor thread, a synthetic voicemail, and a live adaptive caller, aimed at a bank-detail change and a payment release. Operator-monitored, with a kill switch.
Ends before money moves
The drill stops when money would have left: bank details entered, payment released for approval, or the callback skipped. No payment rails are touched. A sponsor event logger timestamps every stage.
A scorecard a board can read
Twelve controls, split honestly into Observed in drill and Evidenced by client. A point-in-time Drill Results Statement, and a "Remediated and Retested" statement only after a passing retest.
Six steps from signature to debrief.
The Baseline Wire Test runs on one entity, uses a synthetic vendor voice (no executive likeness needed) and is scoped to client-designated test vendors.
Intake and rules of engagement
A named sponsor, client-designated test vendors, an IT allowlisting runbook, and a third-party protocol with a 24/7 hotline.
Recon from public information
AI-drafted, operator-reviewed. No credentials, no intrusion.
Campaign plan
Fixed playbooks such as "Vendor bank change, Friday afternoon". Windows spread across the week; one operator monitors at most 3 to 4 calls.
Execution
Lookalike domain from a pre-warmed pool and a synthetic voice, plus any attacker tactic you authorize in the rules of engagement, including caller-ID simulation of your own numbers. Every technique is pre-approved.
Stop point
Ends when money would have left. Email blocked by your filter is scored as a control that passed.
Debrief in 48 hours
With the CFO, plus an HR welfare-debrief template for targeted staff. Results are never used for discipline.
What is one skipped callback worth to you?
An illustrative expected-loss estimate. It anchors the conversation; it is not an actuarial model. The full 12-control version lives in the Wire Room scorecard.
Assumptions: attempts per year scale with revenue band and industry; a single attempt succeeds 1% to 32% of the time depending on control maturity; severity is about 1.25x a typical large payment. Anchors: IC3 2025 (~$123k average BEC complaint), Amwins (sublimits). All coefficients are our assumptions.

What a CFO asks first.
Do you ever move real money?
Will you clone my executives' voices?
Could a bad result hurt us at insurance renewal?
Will an insurer give us a premium credit for this?
What about our real vendors and our employees?
Do you simulate caller ID or record calls?
How is this different from phishing simulation?
