Test the whole organisation, not just the technology
A goal-based adversary simulation that tests the whole organisation — people, process and technology — and measures success against an objective a real attacker would actually want, rather than a count of findings.
What this covers
- Objective definition with your leadership, agreed in writing
- Open-scope reconnaissance and open-source intelligence gathering
- Social engineering: phishing, vishing, pretexting and smishing
- Physical intrusion and on-site access where in scope
- Initial access, persistence and privilege escalation
- Objective achievement, with evidence of exactly how
- Continuous measurement of your detection and response
- A purple-team debrief that turns every action into a detection
A red team is not a bigger penetration test
The objective is the point
Measuring your defenders, not just your systems
The debrief is a purple-team exerciseWe walk through every action with your defenders, mapping each step to a detection opportunity. That is where a red team engagement turns into permanent capability rather than a one-off event.
What makes a good objective
Questions about red teaming
Typically four to eight weeks of elapsed time, though the active work is concentrated into bursts. Social engineering and physical elements need scheduling and cannot be compressed. We will give you a realistic timeline rather than an optimistic one.
Usually yes, and that is the point — but never punitively. We report by team and by process, not by naming individuals who clicked. The goal is to find where the process fails, not to embarrass the people inside it. If you would rather exclude social engineering entirely, we can scope it out.
Then we report it, because being caught quickly is genuinely good news and you paid for that information. We will also tell you what gave us away, and whether it was a control working as designed or an accident.
