Penetration tests ask "what is vulnerable?". Red teaming asks "can a patient, goal-driven adversary reach what matters most — and would anyone notice?". We simulate the attack, stop at agreed objectives, and show you exactly where detection and defence failed.
We agree what success looks like — the objectives that define "the attacker won" — plus targets, allowed techniques, exclusions, testing windows and emergency contacts. You get a signed rules-of-engagement document: the contract that keeps the exercise controlled and legal.
We map your attack surface the way an adversary would — public information, exposed services, identity surfaces and relationships — without touching anything out of bounds. You get the external footprint as attackers actually see it, which often surprises teams on its own.
Within agreed techniques — phishing campaigns where authorised, exploitation of exposed services, credential attacks — we attempt to get a foothold. Each attempt is logged. You learn which entry paths are real and which of your controls actually stopped them.
From the foothold we escalate privileges and move toward the agreed objectives, using techniques mapped to MITRE ATT&CK — while your monitoring runs live. You see exactly where visibility ended and trust boundaries failed.
We reach — or document why we could not reach — the objectives, and assess your detection and response along the way: what alerts fired, what your team investigated, what was missed and how quickly. No data leaves its systems without written approval.
We walk your team through the full attack path live — the purple-team debrief — then deliver the report: narrative timeline, technique mapping, detection gaps and prioritised fixes. After remediation, we verify the attack paths are closed.
Minute-by-minute account of what we did, when and what it achieved — the format boards and leadership actually absorb.
Every technique used, mapped to ATT&CK, so findings connect to your existing threat model and defensive coverage maps.
What your monitoring saw, what it missed and where response stalled — the direct input for your SOC or IT team.
Each step of the attack path paired with the control that would have stopped it, ordered by effort against risk reduction.
A live walkthrough with your technical team — because the lessons stick when your people watched the path unfold.
After fixes, we re-run the attack paths to confirm they are actually closed — a report claim is not a fix.
Annual testing is expected — a red team goes beyond the checkbox to prove the control set holds together.
Supervisors and partners ask hard questions about realistic attack scenarios — engagement evidence answers them.
Customer data, payments, source code — if reaching it would be catastrophic, simulate someone trying.
You bought the tooling — a red team tells you whether it detects a patient attacker or just noisy scanners.
After an incident, a red team verifies the fixes under realistic pressure — not just against the scanner that found the first problem.
A narrative attack story with detection outcomes communicates risk to leadership in a way vulnerability counts never do.
Red team
A penetration test finds vulnerabilities in defined systems. A red team pursues agreed objectives like a real adversary — across people, process and technology — and measures whether your detection and response stop them.
The rules of engagement exclude destructive and denial-of-service techniques by default, define testing windows and include an emergency halt procedure. We test aggressively within boundaries you approve in writing.
Yes — when properly authorised. Written authorisation from system owners and defined rules of engagement are prerequisites to every engagement. Nothing runs without them.
Your choice. A stealth exercise tests detection honestly; a purple-team style engagement runs alongside your team so detection improves as we go. We help you pick the mode that matches your maturity.
Proof of access, not copies. Reaching an objective normally means demonstrating you could take the data — extraction of real records requires separate written approval and agreed handling.
Typically 4 to 8 weeks end to end: about a week of scoping, 2 to 4 weeks of operation, and 1 to 2 weeks for debrief and reporting. Remediation verification follows your fixes.
If you have never tested your systems, yes — start with VAPT so you are not simulating an attacker against known, unpatched holes. If testing is routine, a red team is the logical next step.
An attack narrative timeline, a MITRE ATT&CK technique map, a detection gap analysis, a prioritised remediation roadmap, a purple-team debrief with your team, and verification that fixed attack paths are closed.
