Red Team Operations
What this engagement covers
A red team engagement measures how your organization stands up to a determined, realistic attacker pursuing a specific objective — not just whether individual systems have bugs. We test the full picture: technology, people and your ability to detect and respond.
- External exploitation of internet-facing systems
- Phishing and payload delivery to reach a foothold
- Exposed and leaked credentials
- Endpoint execution and command-and-control
- Evading EDR/AV and security monitoring
- Establishing persistence
- Credential access — dumping, Kerberoasting, token theft
- Privilege escalation and Active Directory attack paths
- Pivoting toward the agreed objective
- Reaching the agreed "crown-jewel" targets and proving impact safely
- What your SOC / EDR detected — and what it missed
- Time-to-detect and response effectiveness (purple-team option)
- Technical, human (social engineering) and physical
- a.Objective-driven scenarios agreed with you up front
- b.Full-scope testing across technical, human and physical vectors (as scoped)
- c.Initial access, lateral movement and objective completion
- d.Detection and response assessment (purple-team option available)
- e.Stealth and rules-of-engagement tailored to your risk appetite
Scope & rules of engagement
We agree targets, timing, depth and constraints in writing before anything starts — so testing is safe, authorized and focused on what matters to you.
Manual testing
Certified testers work by hand — following recognised methodologies like OWASP and PTES, not just automated scanners — chaining findings the way a real attacker would to prove genuine impact.
Reporting
You get a prioritized report with clear proof-of-concept, business impact and step-by-step remediation your engineers can act on immediately.
Retest
After you fix, we re-test the findings to confirm they are resolved and issue an updated report you can share with customers or auditors.
- →A narrative of the full attack path, end to end
- →Where detection worked — and where it did not
- →Prioritized improvements for prevention and response
- →An executive-ready summary alongside technical detail
A pentest aims to find as many vulnerabilities as possible in a defined scope. A red team is quieter and goal-focused — it asks “can a real attacker reach this objective, and would we notice?” It is best once you already run regular pentests.
Yes. We can run it as a purple team, working alongside your defenders to tune detection and response in real time.
