1. A method, comprising:

  • conducting a first simulated phishing attack on individuals from a first group by electronically sending one or more messages from a network device;

    electronically recording in a computer readable storage medium responses of one or more individuals from the first group to the first simulated phishing attack;

    conducting a second simulated phishing attack on individuals from a second group by electronically sending one or more messages from the network device;

    electronically recording in the computer readable storage medium responses of one or more individuals from the second group to the second simulated phishing attack;

    calculating by a computerized processor an aggregate performance of the first group based on the responses to the first simulated phishing attack;

    calculating by the computerized processor an aggregate performance of the second group based on the responses to the second simulated phishing attack; and

    generating by the computerized processor a comparison of the aggregate performance of the first group with the aggregate performance of individuals from the second group;

    wherein the simulated phishing attacks are constructed from a common template with respect to at least one individual from the first group and at least one individual from the second group so as to allow the aggregate performance of the first group to be compared with the aggregate performance of the second group.
