Red Team
Assessment

Simulate advanced persistent threats against your people, processes, and technology. We use social engineering, physical intrusion, and assumed breach scenarios to expose gaps that traditional penetration testing never finds.

What a Red Team Engagement Tests

Purpose-built attack scenarios across people, processes, and technology to test your real-world security posture.

Spear-Phishing Campaigns

We craft targeted spear-phishing emails using OSINT-gathered context, testing whether employees click malicious links, enter credentials on fake portals, or open weaponised attachments.

Vishing and Pretexting

We conduct voice phishing calls impersonating IT support, vendors, or executives to extract credentials, reset passwords, or manipulate employees into bypassing security controls.

Physical Intrusion Testing

We attempt facility access through badge cloning, tailgating, lock bypass, and impersonation to test physical security controls and visitor management procedures.

Impersonation and Social Engineering

We test whether employees verify identities, challenge strangers, follow visitor escort policies, and resist manipulation by social engineers posing as contractors or auditors.

SMiShing and Messaging Attacks

We send SMS or messaging app phishing attacks targeting employees on personal devices used for work, testing multi-factor authentication bypass and credential theft vectors.

USB Drop Testing

We plant USB drives in parking lots and common areas to test whether employees plug unknown devices into corporate machines, enabling malware delivery and initial access.

Incident Response Testing

We measure time-to-detect, time-to-respond, and escalation path effectiveness during simulated incidents to identify gaps in your incident response playbook.

Security Control Bypass

We test whether established security controls can be circumvented through process abuse, exception exploitation, or policy gaps that attackers could leverage.

Supply Chain Testing

We assess third-party vendor access, partner connectivity, and supply chain relationships as potential attack vectors for compromise and lateral movement.

Privileged Access Processes

We test processes around privileged account management, including approval workflows, access reviews, and emergency break-glass procedures for abuse opportunities.

Facility and Visitor Management

We test visitor registration, escort requirements, badge issuance, and access revocation processes for weaknesses that enable unauthorised physical access.

Change Management Abuse

We test whether change management processes can be abused to push malicious configurations, approve unauthorised access, or bypass approval workflows through social engineering.

Lateral Movement and Persistence

From an initial foothold, we test lateral movement paths, credential dumping, privilege escalation, and establishment of persistent access across your environment.

Command and Control Emulation

We deploy realistic C2 infrastructure using MITRE ATT&CK TTPs to test your detection capabilities against live adversary command channels and data exfiltration.

Data Exfiltration Simulation

We simulate data exfiltration over various channels including DNS, HTTPS, and cloud storage to test whether your DLP and monitoring tools detect and alert on data leaving the network.

Assumed Breach Scenarios

Starting from an already compromised endpoint or credential, we test your ability to detect, contain, and eradicate an attacker operating inside your environment.

Cloud and Hybrid Environment Testing

We test cloud infrastructure, hybrid connectivity, and identity federation for attack paths that enable lateral movement from on-premise to cloud environments.

Blue Team Detection Testing

Through purple teaming, we validate detection rules, identify visibility gaps, and tune SIEM alerts in real time collaboration with your security operations team.

Methodology

How a Red Team Engagement Works

A structured, intelligence-driven methodology aligned with MITRE ATT&CK, from planning through full attack narrative debrief.

Phase 01
Planning and Scoping

We define engagement objectives, target systems, rules of engagement, threat actor profiles to emulate, and success criteria together with your security leadership.

01
02
Phase 02
OSINT and Reconnaissance

We gather open-source intelligence on personnel, infrastructure, partners, and suppliers, just like a real attacker would, to identify high-value targets and attack vectors.

Phase 03
Initial Access

We attempt to gain an initial foothold through phishing, credential attacks, supply chain compromise, physical intrusion, or assumed breach scenarios.

03
04
Phase 04
Post-Exploitation and Persistence

We maintain persistence, escalate privileges, move laterally across the environment, and simulate data exfiltration to demonstrate real-world impact.

Phase 05
Purple Team Collaboration

An optional collaborative session with your Blue Team to review detections in real time, validate alerting rules, and close visibility gaps together.

05
06
Phase 06
Debrief and Full Report

We deliver a complete attack narrative with timeline, detection gaps, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and a strategic remediation roadmap for improving your security posture.

Who It's For

Ready for a Red Team?

Mature Security Teams

Organisations with an established security team and existing controls who want an objective, independent test of their detection and response capability against realistic adversaries.

Critical Infrastructure and Finance

Financial institutions, healthcare providers, and utilities that face nation-state or organised criminal threat actors and need to validate defences against sophisticated attacks.

Compliance-Driven Organisations

Businesses required to demonstrate adversary simulation testing for RBI, SEBI, DPDPA, or ISO 27001 audits, with documented evidence of realistic threat scenario testing.

FAQ

Questions We Get Asked Often

A red team assessment simulates advanced persistent threats (APTs) across people, processes, and technology. Unlike standard penetration testing which focuses on technical vulnerabilities in specific systems, red teaming uses threat simulation, social engineering, physical intrusion, and assumed breach scenarios to test your organisational defences end-to-end. The goal is to answer: can your people, processes, and technology withstand a determined, realistic attacker?

Penetration testing focuses on finding technical vulnerabilities in specific systems within a defined scope. Red teaming is broader and more realistic. It simulates complete APT-style campaigns targeting critical assets using industry-specific threat actor profiles. Red teaming includes social engineering, physical intrusion, and tests whether your detection and response capabilities can catch a patient, determined attacker using multiple attack vectors simultaneously.

Yes. We conduct targeted spear-phishing campaigns using OSINT-gathered context, vishing calls impersonating IT support or executives, SMiShing attacks via SMS, and pretexting scenarios to manipulate employees. We also perform physical intrusion testing including badge cloning, tailgating, lock bypass, and impersonation to test facility access controls. All social engineering activities are pre-approved and scoped with your leadership.

Purple teaming is a collaborative exercise where our red team operators work alongside your blue team (security operations) in real time. We share attack techniques, validate whether your detection rules catch them, identify visibility gaps, and tune your SIEM alerts together. This transforms the engagement from a pure assessment into a training opportunity that immediately improves your security posture.

Red team engagements typically run 4 to 8 weeks, allowing time for reconnaissance, patient attack staging, and multiple attack vector attempts. Unlike point-in-time penetration tests, red teaming benefits from extended duration to simulate real adversary patience and persistence. We provide a detailed timeline during scoping based on your objectives and environment complexity.
