RED TEAM SIMULATIONS

Red Team: see if you can detect and stop a real attack

A goal-driven attack simulation run quietly by operators certified in OSEP and CRTO. Instead of a list of vulnerabilities, we show how far an attacker gets and whether your team notices in time.

Scenarios based on MITRE ATT&CKTesting detection and response, not just flawsFull attack path with evidenceJoint debrief with your team

WHY IT MATTERS

A single flaw does not bring a company down. A chain of flaws and no response does

A pentest answers where you have vulnerabilities. Red Team answers a harder question: will someone who really wants in be noticed and stopped before they reach your most important data.

We act like a real attacker: quietly, with a specific goal, chaining phishing, vulnerabilities and lateral movement into one path. Along the way we test not only the technology but the detection and response processes no scanner can exercise.

WHAT WE DO

The full attack path, from entry to objective

01
Initial access
Phishing, exposed perimeter services, leaked credentials. The real route an attacker would take.
02
Persistence and lateral movement
Privilege escalation, account takeover and moving through the network toward the objective.
03
Evading detection
Techniques that test whether your EDR, SIEM and SOC team actually see the attack.
04
Reaching the objective
Access to the agreed data or systems. Proof of impact, with no real damage.

We set the objective and rules of engagement together. We can also run an assume-breach scenario starting from a single compromised host.

OUR APPROACH

Quiet, goal-driven, like a real adversary

Red Team is not broad scanning, it is a narrow, deep operation. We pick one path and run it to the end, the way an attacker with a real motive would.

When it is done we sit with your team and replay the whole path step by step: what worked, what was detected and what slipped through. The debrief is where the most value comes from.

COMPLIANCE

Proof of resilience for the board and the regulator

Red Team simulations address regulatory expectations on testing operational resilience and detection capability.

DORA
Support for operational resilience testing, including TLPT for financial entities.
NIS2
Evidence of the ability to detect and respond to incidents.
ISO 27001
Validation of control effectiveness and response processes.

STANDARDS & CERTIFICATIONS

We work to recognized methodologies, not gut feeling

Every project is run by certified pentesters and based on public standards. That makes the result repeatable, auditable and comparable across vendors.

HOW WE DO IT

An operation run in stages

01
Objective and rules
We define the objective, boundaries and who is in the know before we start.
02
Reconnaissance
We gather information on the organization and attack surface from outside.
03
Initial access
We gain a first foothold via a chosen, realistic route.
04
Operation
We move toward the objective, testing detection and response.
05
Debrief
We replay the full path with your team and point out gaps in the defense.

EVIDENCE

Numbers behind every promise

Every test is run by certified pentesters, and we document the result with reproduction steps, evidence and a verified remediation path. Proof, not a promise.

01
Certified team
20+ offensive certifications across the team (OSCP, OSEP, OSWE, CREST). Tests are run by our people, not anonymous subcontractors.
02
Manual testing
We work by hand to PTES and OWASP, chaining seemingly small flaws into a real, proven attack path.
03
Evidence, not a promise
Every finding comes with reproduction steps and a working proof. A report that holds up in front of an auditor.
04
Retest included
After fixes are deployed we confirm in writing that the gaps are closed. We do not vanish once the PDF is sent.

KNOWLEDGE

A Red Team operation in practice

How a Red Team differs from a penetration test

A penetration test aims for maximum vulnerability coverage within a defined scope. A Red Team has a single objective, such as access to critical data, and takes the shortest realistic path to it, just as a targeted attacker would.

We run the operation covertly, without the defenders knowing, to test not only vulnerabilities but the company's ability to detect and respond. The whole attack path matters, not a single finding.

How we run a Red Team operation

We start with threat intelligence and pick a realistic scenario for your industry. We then reproduce the full attack chain to MITRE ATT&CK: gaining access, persisting in the network, lateral movement and privilege escalation.

We document every step with evidence and a timestamp, so it can later be matched against what the defenders saw. We operate within agreed boundaries, so the operation is realistic yet safe for production.

What we really measure: detection and response

In a Red Team the key is not the number of flaws but how long we stayed unnoticed and when the defense reacted. That reveals real detection maturity, which an ordinary scan cannot measure.

We point out specific visibility gaps: events that should have raised an alert but did not. This lets the security team know what to tune instead of guessing.

What you get and when to choose a Red Team

The report is a coherent narrative of the operation: a timeline, the techniques used, the detection points and recommendations for the defenders. We add a board summary with the real business impact.

A Red Team makes sense when you already have baseline controls in place and want to see how they hold up under the pressure of a real attack. If you are still building a security program, a penetration test is a better first step.

FAQ

Common questions

How is Red Team different from a pentest?

A pentest looks for as many vulnerabilities as possible in a scope. Red Team pursues one objective quietly and tests detection and response above all.

Does the security team know about the test?

Usually not. Only a small group knows, so the team response is authentic. We define the scope of disclosure with you.

Is it safe for production?

Yes. Potentially risky actions are agreed in advance, and we reach the objective without real damage to data or systems.

How long does an operation take?

Typically several to a dozen weeks, depending on the objective and organization size. We set the exact timeline during planning.
