Red Teaming is a full-scope adversary simulation where our experts emulate real attackers—using offensive techniques, social engineering, phishing, and exploitation—to test how well your organization can withstand and respond to cyberattacks.

The goal is not to list every vulnerability but to demonstrate how an attacker could achieve specific business-critical objectives.

A penetration test focuses on finding vulnerabilities.

A Red Team focuses on achieving an objective—for example, accessing critical data, bypassing security controls, or compromising a VIP account.

It is scenario-based, threat-driven, stealthy, and evaluates your full defense: people, processes, and technology.

Depending on scope, Red Teaming may include:

• External infrastructure

• Internal networks

• Applications

• Cloud or SaaS platforms

• Physical premises

• Employees (via social engineering/phishing)

• Detection & monitoring systems (EDR, SIEM, logging)

• Incident response & blue-team procedures

The engagement simulates how a real attacker would combine these elements to reach the defined objective.

Your internal security team acts as the Blue Team—they try to detect, block, and respond to our simulated attacks.

The assessment shows how prepared they are, how fast they react, and how effective your defenses are in practice.

Scenarios are tailored to your organization and based on:

• Threat landscape analysis

• Likely adversary groups

• Their typical intent, skills, and capabilities

• Realistic impact on your business

• Approved Rules of Engagement

Each scenario has a clear objective, such as data theft, privilege escalation, or internal lateral movement.

We combine:

• Social engineering and phishing

• Network and application exploitation

• Lateral movement

• Privilege escalation

• OSINT and reconnaissance

• Physical access attempts (optional)

• Evasion of security controls

• Mimicking real attacker TTPs (Tools, Tactics, Procedures)

This blended approach reflects real-world attack patterns.

Yes. Phishing can be:

• Part of the Red Team scenario — used to gain initial access and move toward the objective

• A standalone service — broader testing of different phishing techniques, payloads, and user behavior, with detailed statistics for awareness improvement

• Other forms of social engineering — phishing is just one technique among many. Social engineering can also include vishing (voice calls), pretexting, physical intrusion attempts, tailgating, or impersonation to test how staff respond to in-person manipulation

Yes. We can replicate known attacker groups’ TTPs to evaluate your detection capabilities against the threats most relevant to your industry.

Purple Teaming can be added on request.

Here we work side-by-side with your Blue Team to replay techniques used during the engagement, help build detections, tune monitoring systems, and improve incident response playbooks.

All activities follow strict Rules of Engagement and safety measures.

We coordinate every potentially risky action with a designated contact to ensure zero impact on operations.

Your Red Team engagement is aligned with industry-recognized frameworks, including:

• OSSTMM

• OWASP

• NIST SP 800-115

• PTES

• BSI Penetration Testing Model

• ISACA Penetration Testing Procedures

• PCI DSS penetration testing requirements

Depending on scope:

• Small/limited-scope scenario: 6-8 weeks

• Medium engagement (several attack paths): 8-10 weeks

• Full-scope organization-wide simulation: 10**–12+ weeks**

Time includes planning, execution, reporting, and optional Purple Team activities.

Red Teaming is ideal for organizations that:

• Already have security controls in place

• Want to validate detection and response

• Need to verify real-world attack resilience

• Must meet regulatory or audit expectations

• Operate critical or high-value assets

• Have never tested their security beyond classic pentests

We begin with a short scoping workshop to define:

• Business-critical assets

• Attack scenarios

• Rules of engagement

• Safety boundaries

• Timeline and reporting requirements

Then the Red Team operation starts.

TLPT stands for Threat-Led Penetration Testing.

TLPT is conceptually similar to Red Teaming—both simulate real adversary behavior to test detection and response capabilities—but TLPT is a more formal, regulated, and structured variant.

Key differences include:

• Regulatory oversight: TLPT is often mandated or supervised by financial regulators or national authorities

• Threat intelligence foundation: TLPT begins with detailed intelligence gathering to identify the most relevant threat actors and attack scenarios

• Accreditation requirements: TLPT providers must meet strict certification and quality standards

• Governance and coordination: TLPT involves a formal "White Team" or independent coordinator to oversee the engagement

• Scope and formality: TLPT typically has a longer timeline, more documentation, and stricter rules of engagement than standard Red Team assessments

In short: Red Teaming is adversary simulation; TLPT is adversary simulation with regulatory rigor.

It is a controlled, bespoke, intelligence-led (red team) test of an organization's critical live production systems, designed to simulate real-world attack scenarios.
