Test your email security gateway with safe simulated payloads

AI generates harmless test payloads to see if your email filters and sandbox catch real threats.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each test target.

The problem it solves

You have email security filters in place, but you don't really know if they'd catch a real threat until it's too late. Testing that manually means crafting fake threats yourself and tracking the results by hand.

Who it fits

Security or compliance teams who need to verify their email gateway and sandbox are actually working.

How it works

  1. You load a list of test targets into Google Sheets
  2. AI generates a harmless, phishing-style test payload
  3. The test email is sent with the payload embedded
  4. The gateway's response is recorded
  5. Results are logged back to Google Sheets for review
What you get

Attacks your gateway proves it can block

You get regular proof that your email gateway and sandbox actually stop realistic phishing attempts before they reach anyone's inbox.

What you get

A logged record of how your email gateway responded to each simulated payload.

What you need

A Gmail or SMTP account, a Google account, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
