Vestd got its start in 2014 with a mission to make equity sharing easy for businesses and their teams. They simplify the process of setting up and managing employee share schemes, ensuring everything is fair, hassle-free, and fully compliant. They’ve helped countless businesses give their teams a stake in the company’s success. Because when employees feel invested, everyone wins.
Elaine Bryceland, Learning and Organisational Development Specialist for Vestd, saw the lack of cybersecurity training for staff beyond an occasional reminder to watch out for suspicious-looking emails. And with so many different kinds of phishing scams out there nowadays, Vestd’s team needed formal training to be able to better spot dodgy links and 'phishy' emails landing in their inboxes.
Enter: Phishing Tackle.
Scammers love to play on what’s trending, but with simulated phishing campaigns, Phishing Tackle has made it much easier for the Vestd team to spot even the most subtle of tactics, like holiday-themed email offers. They never know when a cyber threat (real or simulated) might arise, and with ongoing training, they’ve learned to stay vigilant for anything that might be a scam.
And it’s not just at work where the staff have become scam-spotting pros. They’re now more cautious about suspicious texts, messages on social media, and even QR codes they see around town. Thanks to Phishing Tackle training, they now know exactly what to watch out for.
Being able to steer clear of scammers, both in and out of the office, has become second nature for the team. They’re always on the lookout and ready to delete or alert others to the latest phishing attempt.

How Phishing Tackle turned the Vestd team into %%cyber-savvy pros%%
Vigilant staff
The team is now hyper aware of what suspicious emails look like and are quick to screenshot and share them, making sure nobody gets caught.
Realistic campaigns
Phishing Tackle’s campaigns are practically indistinguishable from real scam emails.
Using realistic campaigns means the staff get regular hands-on practice spotting threats in real time, improving their skills without even realising it.
Fewer phishy clicks
In a staff of almost 100 people, there were only a handful of clicks on the most recent email phishing campaign.
Through Phishing Tackle’s dashboard, Elaine can see who’s clicked on links they shouldn’t have, and give them extra training when they need it.
Mass participation
Elaine estimates that roughly 90% of the staff are engaged in the regular training, which is an effort for a team this size.
