Phishing Training for Construction Companies
Large payments, multiple subcontractors, and fast-paced projects make construction companies prime targets for invoice fraud and business email compromise.
Why Construction Companies Need Phishing Training
Construction runs on trust between general contractors, subs, and suppliers. When a fraudster intercepts a payment that should have gone to a legitimate subcontractor, it damages relationships that took years to build—and can tie up projects in disputes.
Key Challenges
- •Large project payments make invoice fraud highly lucrative
- •Multiple subcontractors and vendors create confusion attackers exploit
- •Field staff may use personal devices and unsecured networks
- •Fast-paced projects pressure staff to act quickly on requests

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about phishing training for construction companies.
Why are construction companies targeted for fraud?
Construction involves large payments between many parties—GCs, subcontractors, suppliers, equipment rentals. Attackers monitor project communications and send fake invoices or bank change requests, knowing the amounts are substantial and the pace is fast.
How do we train field staff who aren't at a desk?
Marulk reaches your team through email, wherever they access it. Simulations work on phones and tablets. When someone encounters a simulated phishing email on-site, the training takes 30 seconds and works on any device.
Can this help verify legitimate vendor requests?
Yes. Beyond training, Marulk's education helps staff recognize the red flags in any payment request—teaching them to verify through a known phone number rather than replying to suspicious emails.
What about office staff who process payments?
Accounts payable staff are critical to train—they're often the final checkpoint before money leaves the company. Marulk helps them recognize fake invoices and fraudulent bank change requests before they process payment.
