Your data source uses your organisation’s own naming. Our platform uses a predetermined set of columns, and a fixed set of tags and placeholders. Mapping is where the two are connected. This matters because those tags and placeholders are what make a simulation credible. Firstname becomes a placeholder inside the email, and Function title becomes a targeting tag our ethical phishers can aim at. Data we cannot map is data they cannot use.
All tags are anonymised. They let phishers target a group without ever linking back to an individual.

The two steps

They happen in order, and the difference between them is easy to miss.
1

Mapping column names

Match the headings in your file to our columns. Your Dept column becomes our Department Name.See Mapping column names.
2

Mapping column values

Match what is inside those columns to our tags. The value Finance in that column becomes our Finance tag.See Mapping column values.
The import wizard does much of this for you. It recognises common column names, and applies values it has seen before automatically. What is left is what it could not work out on its own.

How long it takes

Column names go quickly. Column values are the most time-consuming part of onboarding, at roughly fifteen to thirty minutes depending on how varied your data is.
You only do it thoroughly once. Mappings are remembered, so later imports and new joiners reuse what you set up here.
