Why use teams in Vyvern?
Teams allow organizations to organize employees into logical groups for more targeted workflow generation and testing.
Using teams helps organizations:
Focus testing on specific departments
Run segmented awareness campaigns
Simulate targeted social engineering attacks
Better evaluate organizational risk areas
Teams can be used across workflows, reporting, and employee management.
Department-Focused Testing
Different departments often face different types of security risks.
For example:
Finance teams may be targeted with invoice or payment-related attacks
HR departments may receive recruiting or onboarding scams
Engineering teams may face technical or credential-focused attacks
Leadership teams may be targeted with executive impersonation attempts
Using teams allows organizations to test more realistic department-specific scenarios.
High-Risk Team Testing
Organizations may choose to focus additional testing on:
Privileged employees
Finance departments
IT administrators
Executives
Employees with access to sensitive systems or information

Teams can help organizations:
Separate leadership employees from standard testing groups
Apply additional workflow review or restrictions
