Red teaming · Full-scope adversary simulation
Red teaming that answers one question: would you notice?
We pick an objective that would genuinely hurt, then work toward it the way a motivated attacker would. What you learn is whether your people, tooling and process actually catch it.
Recon · Why it matters
A pentest asks what is broken. A red team asks what happens next.
Red teaming measures your organisation, not just your systems. We work quietly, across whatever paths exist, over weeks rather than hours. The finding that changes how a security team operates is rarely a vulnerability. It is the timeline showing an intruder had six days inside before anyone asked a question.
Coverage · What we test
What is in scope.
01
Reconnaissance
Open source intelligence on your people, infrastructure, suppliers and leaked credentials, assembled the way an attacker assembles it.
02
Social engineering
Targeted phishing, voice pretexting, and where agreed, physical access attempts against your offices.
03
Network and identity
Once inside we move the way an intruder moves: credential theft, lateral movement, and privilege escalation toward the objective.
04
Detection and response
We record what your team saw, when they saw it, and what they did. That timeline is usually the most valuable part of the report.
Execution · How we work
How the engagement runs.
Step 01
Objective setting
We agree what a real loss looks like for you: customer data, payment flow, production access. The objective drives everything else.
Step 02
Rules of engagement
Written and signed. What is in scope, what is never touched, who holds stop authority, and how we prove authorisation if challenged.
Step 03
Execution
Run over weeks at a controlled tempo. A named contact on your side knows it is happening even when the wider team does not.
Step 04
Purple team debrief
We walk your defenders through every step, including the ones they missed, and tune detections together.
Debrief · What you get
What lands on your desk.
Every engagement ends with something your engineers can act on and your auditors can accept.
- Attack narrative the full path from first contact to objective, in order
- Detection timeline what fired, what should have fired, and where the gaps are
- Evidence pack screenshots, logs and artefacts for every step
- Purple team session with your defenders, tuning detections against what we actually did
Questions · Straight answers
Common questions.
How is red teaming different from a penetration test?
A penetration test enumerates weaknesses in a defined scope. A red team pursues a specific objective across your whole attack surface and measures whether you detect and respond. Most organisations get more value from a pentest first.
Will our team know it is happening?
Only the small group who authorise it. That is the point: we are testing the response of people who have not been warned.
Is physical access always included?
Only if you want it and only where you can lawfully authorise it. Many engagements stay entirely digital.
