Red Teaming
Goal-driven adversary emulation that tests whether your defences actually detect and respond.
A red team engagement emulates a real adversary against a defined objective, such as reaching sensitive data or domain administrator access, using techniques mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. We work with stealth and minimal scope restrictions to test people, process and technology together, not just a single application. The output is an honest picture of what your detection and response teams would have caught.
Included in this service
Objective-based scenarios
Engagements built around real goals an attacker would pursue, agreed with you in advance.
Full attack chain emulation
Initial access, persistence, privilege escalation and lateral movement, mapped to ATT&CK.
Stealth and evasion
We work quietly to test whether your monitoring and analysts detect a determined adversary.
People and process testing
Phishing, pretexting and physical or social vectors where agreed, not technology alone.
A clear path from problem to outcome
The same disciplined cycle every time, so you always know what is happening next.
Scope and rules of engagement
We agree targets, objectives and constraints in writing: in-scope assets, test windows, success criteria and emergency stop conditions. You get a signed authorisation and a named point of contact before any tooling touches your environment.
Execute and validate
Our team runs the engagement against agreed objectives, whether that is exploitation, detection validation or a build. Activity is mapped to MITRE ATT&CK where relevant, and we confirm each finding so you receive evidence, not noise.
Report with reproducible proof
Every finding ships with a reproducible proof of concept: request and response, payloads, screenshots and exact steps. Risk is rated by business impact and likelihood, with clear, prioritised remediation guidance your engineers can act on.
Remediate and retest
We walk your team through fixes, answer questions and retest to confirm closure. You finish with a clean retest record and, where useful, detections and runbooks so the same gap is caught next time.
