Schedule Baseline

The Baseline is a simulated phishing campaign used to determine your organisations' overall phishing risk and establish a baseline for future measurement.

The Baseline randomly assigns each learner a phishing email from our pool of highly sophisticated emails. Learners then randomly receive these email during the duration of the test. This test also utilizes employee anonymisation to ensure a respectful first experience for your employees. 

Things to Note:

• Any customized or new Email Templates added after the schedule is set, which happens 7 days before the start of the training block or course, will not be added to the schedule.
• Email Templates removed after the schedule is set, are removed and a new email is added in its place.
• The Learner experience for the baseline.  

How to schedule the Baseline

1) Go to the Learning Paths tab and select the New > Baseline (A Baseline creation page will open under the timeline)

2) Provide a Name for the Baseline

3) Select the learners you would like to include in the baseline. (Using the filters and search function, you can refine the list of staff you would like to be part of the baseline.) Once learners are selected click Schedule to advance to the next page. 

Note: If a learner has a red dot next to their name, they are already scheduled for something in the system and are already using a license. Selecting them again will not use an additional license.

4) Select the Baseline duration. Optionally you can click the preview button to see how it fits in with your existing scheduled learning paths. Click Summary to advance to the next page. 

Note: We recommend running the baseline for 4 weeks. This ensures the delivery of simulations is evenly dispersed, allowing for a more accurate assessment.

5) Check the details on the summary page. If everything looks okay, click Finish to schedule the new Baseline.
