# Top 3 Internal Spoof Phishing Templates
## Learn why internal spoofs are so important when it comes to testing a company’s security awareness posture.
Internal spoof emails are one of the best strategies to test your team. With the amount of emails employees receive from within their organization, it’s important to train them on safe email habits even when it appears to be a message from a team member. If an email comes through that looks like a communication they see everyday, it may not be suspicious enough for them to analyze it before acting or responding. That’s why internal spoofs are so important when it comes to testing a company’s security awareness posture.
The video below previews our top 3 internal phishing templates and explores how you can customize them to reflect your company branding and team signatures.
1. A direct deposit request disguised as **Human Resources** is requesting sensitive banking information. Your users should be cautious in general when asked for personal information like this, but if they believe it to be from your trusted HR team they may overlook any suspicions.
2. An important message from the **CFO** about tax information is another internal spoof to get employees’ attention. Training teams on sharing sensitive information is key to prevent accounts from being compromised.
3. The **IT Team** is another department that often sends out company-wide communications. This template tests how willing employees are to enter their login credentials such as passwords. This email may seem like it is in the best interest for employees to take action on creating a stronger password, but proves how easy it is for cybercriminals to spoof and steal sensitive account information.
