Our red teaming and penetration testing methodology follows a structured approach to ensure a thorough assessment of your security. We begin with reconnaissance and intelligence gathering to understand your organisation's environment, identifying potential entry points. Next, we execute carefully planned attack simulations that mimic tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by real-world adversaries. When an incident strikes, time is of the essence. Retained clients benefit from immediate, prioritized support, minimizing critical delays in containment and remediation.

Our team of penetration testers and red team experts hold CREST (Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers) certifications, demonstrating the highest standards of skill, experience, and integrity in offensive security testing. This certification ensures that you receive professional services adhering to industry best practices and globally recognized standards, with comprehensive and ethical testing that prioritizes your needs.

We cover a broad range of simulated attack activities designed to test an organisation's detection, response, and overall resilience. These may include:

Social engineering attacks: Testing user awareness and response to phishing, impersonation, and other forms of human-based attacks.
‍
‍Network and application attacks: Mimicking cyberattacks targeting IT infrastructure, applications, and data to uncover weaknesses.

Assumed breach testing: Starting with the assumption that an attacker has breached initial defenses, this activity tests internal detection and response capabilities.

In the constantly evolving world of cybersecurity, attackers are continually developing new strategies, tactics, and tools to exploit weaknesses in systems and networks. To effectively counter these threats, a defensive-only approach often falls short. Adopting the mindset of an adversary — proactively seeking out and simulating attacks — provides a distinct advantage.

Identifying vulnerabilities before attackers do: Offensive security tactics, such as red teaming, penetration testing, and ethical hacking, focus on uncovering weaknesses and vulnerabilities in systems before malicious actors can exploit them

Mimick real-world attack Scenarios: Traditional defensive measures rely on known threats and established patterns, but attackers often think outside the box, using creative and unpredictable methods. Offensive security emulates sophisticated threat actors, including nation-state and advanced persistent threats (APTs), to expose weaknesses that may go unnoticed by conventional defenses.
