Assumed breach
We begin with a single compromised workstation, the way most real intrusions start.
- Fastest path to useful results
- Focuses on lateral movement
- Great first red team engagement
A red team engagement is goal-driven. We pick a crown-jewel target with your leadership, then spend weeks trying to reach it across people, process and technology, exactly as a real adversary would.
A penetration test asks "what is vulnerable here?". A red team asks "can someone reach our most valuable data, and would we notice?". The scope is the goal, not a list of systems.
We stay quiet, we take our time, and we chain small oversights into a full compromise. Only a handful of people in your organisation know the test is happening, which is what makes the result honest.
Red teaming works best when the scenario matches a threat you actually face.
We begin with a single compromised workstation, the way most real intrusions start.
We begin with no access at all and work our way in through any agreed channel.
Our attackers work openly with your defenders to build and tune detections live.
With your leadership we define the crown jewels, the boundaries, and the small group who will know.
We build a picture of your people, technology and exposure from the outside, quietly.
We attempt entry through the agreed channels, from phishing to exposed services.
Once inside, we escalate privileges and move toward the objective while staying under the radar.
We replay the entire operation with your defenders, step by step, with timestamps.
Reports your board and your engineers can both use. No 400-page scanner dump.
Tell us about your systems and we will recommend the right assessment, with a clear scope and a fixed price.
A pentest finds as many vulnerabilities as possible in a defined system. A red team picks one valuable objective and tests whether anyone can reach it, and whether you would notice. Most organisations should run pentests first.
Usually three to five people: the sponsor, a security lead and an emergency contact. Keeping the circle small is what makes the detection results meaningful.
Yes. Everything runs under signed rules of engagement with an agreed stop process, and we avoid destructive actions entirely. Your emergency contact can pause the operation at any moment.
If you have never had a penetration test, start there. Red teaming pays off once you already have basic patching, monitoring and response in place.
