Penetration testing
Understand how an attacker could compromise your systems, with hands-on testing and validated findings.
Explore service: Penetration testingRed team exercises
Evaluate your defensive capabilities against an agreed threat scenario, with clear objectives and controlled execution.
What we do
Understand how your defences work together.
A red team exercise examines whether your organisation can prevent, detect, and respond to a realistic attack scenario. It brings people, processes, and technology into one measured assessment.
When this service fits
When your foundational controls are in place and you want to assess how they perform together under a realistic scenario.
Every engagement starts with a conversation about your environment, objectives, and constraints.
What we can assess
Scenario design
Define relevant threat scenarios, objectives, success criteria, and the boundaries of the exercise.
Controlled execution
Carry out agreed adversary simulations under written authorisation, with escalation contacts and stop conditions.
Detection & response
Observe how selected controls and teams identify activity, investigate signals, and coordinate a response.
Defensive collaboration
Review the exercise with your defenders and identify ways to strengthen coverage and operating procedures.
Your deliverables
Results your
teams can use.
We agree the deliverables before work begins. Our focus is clear evidence, realistic impact, and the next actions your teams need to take.
- An agreed scenario and rules of engagement
- An evidence-based exercise timeline
- Observations on prevention, detection, and response
- Identified gaps across controls and processes
- A debrief and practical improvement recommendations
Before we begin
Does every exercise include social engineering?
No. Techniques are selected for the agreed objectives. Social engineering or physical activity is included only with explicit written authorisation and defined safeguards.
Can our security team be involved?
Yes. We can agree a collaborative exercise with your defenders, or a more limited-knowledge simulation, depending on what you want to evaluate.
