Services / Red teaming
Test your ability to stop an attack.
Red team services built around an authorized adversary simulation that tests access to critical systems and your team's detection and response.
Find out how you'd really respond.
A pentest tells you what's vulnerable. A red team tells you what actually happens when someone comes for you, whether your tooling fires, whether your team notices, and how far a determined attacker gets before anyone does.
Not a pentest.
A real adversary.
A pentest maximises coverage. A red team chases one objective, quietly, and tests everything a breach actually touches.
Goal-driven, not coverage-driven
We pursue one objective the way a real crew would, not a checklist.
The full attack chain
Phishing to foothold to domain to your crown jewels, end to end.
Tests people and detection
Not just the tech, your SOC, your response, and your assumptions.
Quiet by design
We work to stay under the radar, then show exactly where we slipped through.
How an engagement runs
Five phases, one objective.
Scope & threat model
We pick a realistic adversary and a concrete objective with you.
Initial access
Phishing, exposed services, or an assumed-breach start, whatever fits the model.
Foothold & movement
Establish C2, evade detection, and move toward the goal.
Reach the objective
Prove impact on the target: data, domain, or a critical system.
Debrief & report
A live SOC walkthrough, the full storyboard, and detection you keep.
What it looks like
in practice.
An illustrative example of the class of issue this engagement is built to find, and what changes after it.
Illustrative example, not client data
BeforeWhat the SOC saw
# our activity, against their alert queue 09:14 Phishing link opened no alert 09:31 Loader executed, EDR quiet no alert 11:02 Credential access no alert 14:47 Lateral movement, 6 hosts no alert 16:20 Domain objective reached no alert # nothing fired, for any of it
AfterAfter tuning
# replayed after detection work 09:14 Phishing link opened logged 09:31 Loader executed ALERT 11:02 Credential access ALERT 14:47 Lateral movement ALERT + contained # caught at step two, not step five
The point of a red team is the second column. Reaching the objective proves the path exists. The value is the timestamped record of what should have alerted and did not, which turns an uncomfortable result into a specific detection backlog.
Would your team even notice?

Internal access paths and detection.
An assumed-breach assessment examines how a standard account could reach critical systems, and what evidence defenders would have along the way.

What you get
Evidence your team can act on.
Adversary storyboard
The full attack narrated, step by step, with timestamps.
Detection-gap report
Every action mapped to whether your tooling caught it.
Detection rule pack
Sigma and EDR rules for the TTPs that slipped through.
IR playbook notes
Where your response worked, and where it stalled.
Live SOC debrief
A working session with your defenders, not just a PDF.
Implant-removal letter
Written confirmation that every foothold is gone.
The usual questions.
How is this different from a pentest?
A pentest maximises coverage. A red team chases one objective quietly, testing your people and detection, not just the technology.
Does our SOC know?
Usually only a small white cell knows, so the response is real. We agree the rules of engagement together first.
Is it safe?
Yes. We work under strict rules of engagement and remove every foothold at the end, confirmed in writing.
What objective should we pick?
We help you choose one that maps to a real business risk, ransomware impact, data theft, or a critical system, in the scoping call.
Brief us on the adversary.
Tell us what you're most afraid of. We'll build the crew that tests it.
