Red Team Testing

Assess the likelihood and impact of a real-world cyber attack on your organisation with CREST-accredited red team testing, intelligence-led adversary simulation tailored to your threat profile.

Red Team Service Overview

What Is Red Teaming?

Our Red Team service simulates the full lifecycle of a real-world attack, going beyond standard penetration testing to challenge your technology, people, and processes. Using the same tools and techniques as threat actors, we expose gaps in your defences before a real attacker does.

From initial reconnaissance and social engineering through to lateral movement and objective attainment, every engagement is tailored to the threats most relevant to your business. Findings are mapped to recognised frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, with prioritised recommendations your team can act on immediately. Whether you’re validating existing controls or preparing for a high-stakes audit, our Red Team engagements deliver an honest, unfiltered picture of your true security posture.

Red Team Threats

Cyber Threats We Simulate

Our intelligence-led Red Teaming works with you to understand the most likely real-world threats to your organisation and simulate these faithfully. These often include:

Ransomware

Ransomware attacks can have a huge impact on your business, not only can they damage the day-to-day operations, but they could also lead to reputational damage, as well as potential financial loss.

Phishing / Social Engineering

Social Engineering attempts to deceive staff and users into clicking malicious links, hand over sensitive information or perform actions that may compromise your security.

Supply Chain Compromise

Attackers don’t have to specifically target your organisation to gain access to your sensitive material or negatively affect your operations, an unsecure supply chain could offer them a backdoor in.

Remote Service Exploits

Staff use a myriad of applications & cloud services to access work environments and company information. These services can provide a direct route into an organisation.

Malicious Insiders

Attacks don’t just come from outside threats; insiders can often have access to sensitive information & if motivated, could pose a threat to your organisation's cybersecurity.

Physical Breaches

Cybersecurity doesn't just happen online, your physical premises can be a potential target for malicious attackers looking to access sensitive areas and information.

Red Team Testing

What Our Red Team Tests

Our consultants will look to gather information from multiple sources, utilise various techniques and attempt numerous routes to achieve their set goal. The routes we use will be dependent on the scope set, but can include a combination of:

Technology

Every connected device, website, application & server provides a potential way in for an attacker. Our consultants will look to understand your estate, probing and testing to exploit potential opportunities.

People

Our consultants can use a variety of methods, such as social engineering and open-source intelligence (OSINT) gathering, to obtain credentials, gain a foothold on your network and manoeuvre towards their goal.

Processes

Once inside your organisational network, our security consultants will look to expose and exploit any poor security practices and controls. This will allow them to further their attack and work towards their overall goal.

Physical Security

Our team are experienced in physical operations and, if instructed, can look to manipulate their way into premises. Once inside they will attempt to gain access to sensitive areas or confidential information.

Red Team Approach

Our Approach To Testing

Our Red Team process will be unique to your organisation, security posture, digital estate and the goals set. Broadly speaking, each assessment will go through the following stages:

1. Understanding Your Requirements

We work closely with you to gain an in-depth knowledge of your needs and a detailed understanding of the objectives under consideration, before putting forward a bespoke proposal of work.

2. Expert Led, Manual Testing

Our Red Team service is conducted by expert consultants and is designed to challenge your cybersecurity measures. All our consultants are directly employed by us, meaning the highest quality service.

3. Reporting Tailored To You

Our reporting process can be tailored to suit your needs, providing you with timely, relevant, and detailed information, not just on our findings but also our expert remediation advice.

4. Post-Test Support & Remediation

We make our security consultants available after the test to provide remediation support and can provide fix checks, as well as additional documentation where necessary.
