Test what an attacker
could achieve.

Controlled red team campaigns that test your ability to prevent, detect and respond to a realistic attack.

What can an attacker achieve?

Reach critical assets

Test whether a realistic attack path can reach the systems, data or business objectives that matter most to your organisation.

Test detection

Discover which stages of a multi-step attack your security controls detect, and where gaps in visibility allow activity to continue.

Assess response

See how people, processes and technology work together under realistic conditions, with clear priorities for strengthening your response.

How the campaign works

1. Agree the objectives

Define the critical assets, threat profile, success measures and permitted attack surfaces with your trusted control group.

2. Set the boundaries

Agree rules of engagement, operational constraints, escalation contacts and stop conditions before testing begins.

3. Execute the campaign

Follow realistic attack paths within the agreed scope, recording evidence of prevention, detection and response.

4. Prioritise improvements

Review the attack narrative together and turn the findings into a prioritised control and detection improvement backlog.

What you receive

Evidence you can act on

  • Executive and technical reports covering objectives, attack paths and supporting evidence.
  • Observations on prevention, detection and response across the campaign.

A clear improvement plan

  • A prioritised control and detection improvement backlog.
  • A stakeholder readout, with workshops or retesting where included in scope.

Red teaming questions

When is red teaming the right choice?

Red teaming suits organisations with established security foundations that want to test resilience across multiple controls. If you need to identify weaknesses in a specific system, penetration testing may be the better starting point.

How is the campaign controlled?

A trusted customer control group agrees the objectives, boundaries, deconfliction process and stop conditions. Social engineering, physical activity, persistence and other higher-risk techniques require explicit authorisation. Campaign artefacts are removed and cleanup is checked.

How does this differ from purple teaming?

Red teaming tests a realistic attack against your defences, often with limited defender awareness. Purple teaming brings attackers and defenders together to observe activity, improve controls and retest the results.
