Red Teaming & Attack Simulation
Goal-oriented adversary emulation that tests people, process and technology together.
Every engagement includes manual validation, a two audience report and free re-testing.

A penetration test asks whether a system has vulnerabilities. A red team asks a harder question: if a capable adversary decided to target you specifically, would you notice, and could you stop them?
We work to an objective rather than a scope. Reach the payment system, exfiltrate the customer database, get domain admin without triggering an alert. Every route is fair game within the rules of engagement, including phishing, physical access and abusing your suppliers.
The output is not really a vulnerability list. It is an honest assessment of your detection and response, which is usually the part nobody has ever tested.
What we go after
- Objective-based adversary emulation
- Open source intelligence and target profiling
- Phishing and social engineering campaigns
- Initial access, persistence and privilege escalation
- Lateral movement toward the defined objective
- Physical access testing where in scope
- Detection and response evaluation throughout
How we run it
- 01
Onboard
Log sources, agents and integrations connected, with a baseline of what normal looks like for you.
- 02
Tune
Detection rules written for your environment. We would rather spend two weeks tuning than send you noise for a year.
- 03
Monitor
Round the clock triage with severity-based response times, including nights and weekends.
- 04
Respond
Playbook-driven containment with approval gates on anything that touches production.
- 05
Report and improve
Monthly reporting your board understands, and detection coverage that grows every quarter.
What you receive
- Full attack narrative with timeline
- Detection timeline showing what was seen and what was missed
- Control effectiveness assessment mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
- Purple team workshop with your defenders
- Prioritised improvements for detection and response
Who needs this
Organisations with a mature security function who want to test it honestly, and regulated entities whose framework expects adversary simulation.
How long it takes
Four to eight weeks, run quietly alongside your normal operations.
Standards this satisfies
- MITRE ATT&CK
- TIBER-EU principles
- RBI
- SEBI CSCRF
Why it matters
Detection is not a product you buy, it is a capability you operate. Most organisations that have bought the tooling still do not have the capability, because coverage thins overnight and at weekends, which is precisely when intrusions begin.
Dwell time is the single largest driver of what a breach costs. Everything managed defence does is aimed at that one number: seeing it sooner, understanding it faster, and containing it before it becomes a recovery exercise.
Choose how you want this delivered
Most of the price difference between quotes comes down to this one choice, and it is rarely explained. Pick one to see what it covers, what it suits and what it costs you.
We take monitoring, triage, investigation and first response, around the clock, with a named service lead who knows your environment. Escalation reaches a person with context rather than a queue, which is the difference that matters at three in the morning.
Choose this when
- No internal security operations capability
- Regulatory expectation of continuous monitoring
- You want one accountable party for detection and response
Effort and cost
Monthly, scaled by estate size and log volume. Predictable, which is usually the point.
Scope it yourself, before you call anyone
Answer a few questions and you get an indicative number, the working behind it and what your answers tell us. It runs in your browser, so nothing you type reaches us.
Roughly how many personal records do you hold?
What we look for, and keep finding
These are the classes of problem this work exists to surface. Not every engagement finds all of them, but these are the ones that turn up often enough to be worth naming.
Initial access through people
Phishing, pretexting and physical entry. We test whether your staff can be moved to act, and more importantly whether anyone notices and reports it when they are.
Detection gaps
The real output. Not that we got in, but which of our actions your monitoring saw, which it logged without alerting, and which passed unnoticed entirely.
Privilege escalation paths
The route from an ordinary user to domain or cloud administrator, documented step by step so each link can be broken independently.
Objective achievement
We agree a specific goal in advance: reach this record, move this value, access this environment. Whether we reached it is a far more useful answer than a list of findings.
Response and containment
Once you do notice, how quickly do you contain, and does the process survive contact with a real adversary who is still moving while you decide.
Who runs your engagement
A named service lead and a real team behind them
You get a named lead who knows your environment, backed by an analyst team running around the clock. Escalation reaches a person who has context rather than a queue, which is the difference that matters at three in the morning.
Questions we get asked
Who should know the test is happening?
As few people as possible, usually two or three named executives. That is the point. We hold a written authorisation letter throughout so anyone who catches us can verify it immediately.
Is this not just an expensive penetration test?
No. A pentest maximises coverage of a defined scope. A red team maximises realism against an objective and tells you about your defenders rather than your software. Most organisations need the pentest first.
What if we get caught early?
That is a good outcome and we will say so. We then usually agree to continue from an assumed-breach position so you still get value from the remaining time.
