Train employees on QR phishing (quishing)

Run safe, consented QR phishing simulations across email, document, and physical placements — and tie outcomes to your Human risk score.

The problem

QR phishing bypasses email gateways and endpoint controls by handing off to a personal mobile device. Most awareness programs have never tested it.

Why it matters now

Quishing campaigns are now common in invoice fraud, MFA reset scams, and physical-pretext attacks. Employees need realistic, channel-specific practice.

How Verasity™ solves it

QR scenario library

Email-embedded, document-embedded, and physical-placement QR scenarios with safe landing pages.

Mobile-aware landing

Capture device, browser, and policy signals on scan without violating privacy.

Just-in-time coaching

Show a short lesson the moment a user scans a simulated quishing code.

Program reporting

Track scan, submit, and report rates across cohorts and locations.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. 1

    Pick a quishing scenario (MFA reset, parking payment, invoice).

  2. 2

    Distribute via email, document, or printed asset under consent.

  3. 3

    Capture scan and submission signals on the safe landing page.

  4. 4

    Trigger micro-coaching for risky behavior.

  5. 5

    Report program-level scan, click, and report rates.

Example campaign

Printed 'parking validation' QR codes are placed in the lobby with consent. Employees who scan see a short awareness moment; reporters earn risk-score credit.
