Adversary simulation
Red Team Assessment
A realistic adversary-simulated engagement that validates access paths, measures detection outcomes, and produces a practical improvement plan - delivered with evidence your team can act on.
- Adversary simulation with realistic access paths
- Measured detection and response outcomes
- Evidence-led reporting with verified closure options
What you get on day one
Concise scope, test plan, and outcomes your team can execute.
Adversary-simulated
Engagement style
Not vulnerability scanning.
Detection readiness
Primary outcome
Find gaps before attackers do.
2–6 weeks
Typical duration
Depends on scope and objectives.
Exec + technical
Reporting
Narrative + evidence + fixes.
Why red team
Measure what an attacker can do - and what you detect
A red team assessment is about realistic compromise paths and measurable defensive outcomes.
Red team simulation
Exploit path → lateral movement → exfil
Animated attack path showing access, lateral movement, and data exfiltration.
Security controls are only real when tested
Policies and tooling don’t matter if real attacker paths still succeed without detection.
Detection blind spots are expensive
A red team shows where alerts fail, where telemetry is missing, and where response breaks down.
Risk is in chained paths
Real compromise often comes from multiple small weaknesses chained into meaningful access.
What we validate
Objectives that map to real compromise
We align on goals, then validate the attack chain with evidence and measurable detection outcomes.
Initial access
Validate realistic entry paths (e.g., exposed services, credential abuse, phishing where approved).
Privilege escalation
Test whether internal controls prevent role escalation and credential harvesting.
Lateral movement
Assess segmentation, trust boundaries, and how easily access spreads across systems.
Objective execution
Demonstrate defined goals: sensitive data access, domain control, or business-impact actions.
Detection & response
Measure what was detected, how quickly, and whether response actions were effective.
Control improvement
Deliver actionable improvements across identity, endpoint, network, and monitoring.
How we work
A controlled engagement with clear guardrails
Structured execution, defensible evidence, and practical outcomes.
Define objectives and rules of engagement
Align on goals, safety constraints, test windows, and approval paths.
Threat modeling and planning
Select realistic tactics based on your environment and business context.
Execution and evidence collection
Operate like an attacker with careful guardrails. Capture defensible proof at each step.
Detection measurement
Record which actions were detected, what telemetry existed, and what was missed.
Reporting and remediation planning
Deliver a clear narrative, root causes, and an improvement plan engineering can execute.
Optional retest / purple team follow-up
Validate fixes and improve detections collaboratively if desired.
Deliverables
Executive-ready narrative and engineering-ready detail
Clear evidence, measurable detection outcomes, and a practical remediation plan.
Executive narrative
A clear story of what happened, why it worked, and what it means for the business.
Technical kill chain
Step-by-step path with evidence: access, escalation, movement, and objectives achieved.
Detection findings
What fired, what didn’t, telemetry gaps, and response improvement recommendations.
Remediation plan
Prioritized fixes mapped to root causes across identity, endpoint, network, and monitoring.
Evidence stays defensible
We document the chain of actions with supporting proof and clearly separate assumptions from verified access. This keeps outcomes actionable for engineering and credible for leadership.
Ready when you are
Plan a red team assessment
We’ll define objectives, execute a controlled adversary simulation, and deliver measurable detection outcomes with actionable remediation.
Engagement options
Choose the engagement style
Objective-based red teaming or collaborative purple teaming to improve detections.
Objective-based Red Team
A defined mission (e.g., reach critical systems or data) with measurable detection outcomes.
- Clear success criteria
- Evidence-led narrative
- Detection and response measurement
Purple Team (collaborative)
Work alongside defenders to validate detections, improve telemetry, and tune response.
- Collaborative testing
- Rapid detection improvement
- Repeatable playbooks
FAQ
Before we start
Is phishing included?
Only when explicitly approved and scoped. Many engagements focus on technical access paths instead.
Will this disrupt production?
We operate with guardrails, change windows, and agreed stop conditions to avoid disruption.
Do you provide remediation guidance?
Yes. You’ll receive a prioritized remediation plan tied to root causes and measurable improvements.
Do you retest fixes?
Optional. We can retest or run a purple team follow-up to validate closure and detection improvements.
