Red Team Assessment
Full-scope adversary simulation testing detection and response capability across people, process, and technology — including physical and social engineering vectors where in scope.
Understanding This Service
What It Is
A full-scope, goal-oriented adversary simulation that tests your organization's actual detection and response capability across people, process, and technology, not just whether individual vulnerabilities exist.
Who It's For
Mature security organizations with an established detection and response function who want to validate it against a realistic, persistent adversary rather than a scoped technical test.
When It's Needed
After standing up a SOC or detection program, ahead of a board or insurer request for adversary-simulation evidence, or as a periodic stress test of your security program as a whole.
Why Clients Request This Service
Untested Detection Capability
Social Engineering Exposure
Unvalidated Incident Response
Unknown Attack Paths to Critical Assets
Scope of Testing
Scope is tailored per engagement and agreed upon before testing begins, often drawing from the following.
Reconnaissance
Open-source and technical intelligence gathering on the target organization.
Initial Access
Simulated compromise via phishing, technical exploitation, or physical vectors.
Lateral Movement
Privilege escalation and movement toward agreed-upon target objectives.
Detection & Response Testing
Evaluating whether and how quickly your team detects and responds.
Reporting
Detailed findings on detection gaps, response timing, and root causes.
How We Run This Engagement
Planning
Objective setting, rules of engagement, and authorization sign-off.
Reconnaissance
Gathering intelligence to plan a realistic attack path.
Simulated Attack
Executing against agreed objectives across people, process, and technology.
Detection Assessment
Evaluating how and when your team detected and responded.
Reporting
Executive and technical findings delivered with clear risk ratings.
What You Walk Away With
Executive Summary
A board-ready overview of detection and response performance.
Attack Narrative
A detailed account of the simulated attack path from start to finish.
Detection Gap Findings
Specific points where detection or response fell short, and why.
Response Timeline
A timeline comparing attacker actions against your team's response.
Remediation Guidance
Specific, actionable fixes for both technical and procedural gaps.
Purple Team Debrief
A collaborative session walking your team through what happened and why.
