Beyond Penetration Testing

What is a Red Team Assessment?

A red team assessment simulates a targeted attack against your organisation. Unlike a standard penetration test that focuses on finding as many vulnerabilities as possible, a red team engagement tests whether a determined attacker can achieve specific objectives — accessing sensitive data, compromising critical systems, or bypassing your security team.

We use the same tactics as real threat actors. Our consultants combine social engineering, phishing, physical access attempts, and technical exploitation to find the path of least resistance into your organisation, just as a genuine adversary would.

The goal is to test your defences as a whole. Red teaming evaluates not just your technical controls but your people and processes — how quickly your team detects an intrusion, how effectively they respond, and where the gaps are in your security operations.

The Case for Red Teaming

Why Your Organisation Needs a Red Team Assessment

Test your detection capabilities

Standard penetration tests don't assess whether your security team can detect an attack in progress. Red teaming puts your SOC, SIEM, and alerting to the test under realistic conditions.

Identify the path of least resistance

Attackers don't follow a checklist. A red team engagement reveals the realistic attack chains an adversary would use to reach your crown jewels.

Evaluate your incident response

Discover whether your team can contain and respond to an active threat. Red team findings expose gaps in your incident response playbooks and escalation procedures.

Satisfy board-level assurance requirements

Senior leadership and regulators increasingly require evidence of realistic adversary testing. A red team report demonstrates your organisation takes advanced threats seriously.

Improve security culture

Red team findings create a tangible narrative that drives security awareness across the business — from the boardroom to the front desk.

How We Work

Our Red Team Approach

Reconnaissance and Planning

We gather intelligence on your organisation using OSINT techniques — mapping your people, technology, and processes to identify the most promising attack vectors.

Initial Access

We attempt to gain a foothold through phishing, social engineering, physical entry, or technical exploitation of internet-facing services — whichever route a real adversary would take.

Lateral Movement and Objectives

Once inside, we move through your environment attempting to reach agreed objectives — domain admin, sensitive data stores, or critical business systems — while evading detection.

Reporting and Purple Team Debrief

We deliver a full attack narrative with a timeline, detection gaps, and recommendations. We then work with your security team to replay the attack and improve detection rules.
