Red Team Engagement
The ultimate test of your organization's resilience. Our red team operates with a "get out of jail" card — no predefined scope, full creative freedom, just like a real attacker. We test your people, technology, and processes through social engineering, phishing, physical intrusion, and cyber attacks.
Discuss an EngagementBeyond Penetration Testing
A penetration test tells you where your technical vulnerabilities are. A red team engagement tells you whether your organization can actually detect, respond to, and stop a real-world attack.
This is the hardest challenge for organizations that believe they are cyber security mature — those with a dedicated security team, a SOC, incident response procedures, and security awareness programs in place. We put all of that to the test.
The "Get Out of Jail" Card
Our red team operates under a signed authorization letter that grants full permission to attempt any attack vector — digital, physical, or human. No predefined scope. No boundaries. Just a clear objective and the freedom to pursue it like a real threat actor would.
This "get out of jail" card ensures our operators can work without restrictions while remaining fully authorized and legal. If caught during a physical intrusion or social engineering attempt, the card is presented to de-escalate immediately. Everything is documented, controlled, and debriefed.
We Attack on Every Front
Social Engineering
Targeted phishing campaigns, pretexting phone calls, impersonation of vendors or employees, and manipulation of staff to gain access to systems, credentials, or sensitive information.
Physical Intrusion
Attempting to gain unauthorized physical access to your offices, server rooms, and restricted areas. Tailgating, badge cloning, lock picking, and exploiting gaps in physical security controls.
Digital Cyber Attacks
Exploiting technical vulnerabilities in your external and internal infrastructure, applications, and cloud environments. Lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration — testing whether your Blue Team and SOC can detect and stop us.
Practical Questions
The questions organisations usually ask before committing to a red team engagement. Plain answers, no sales talk.
Is a red team engagement right for us?
Red team engagements make sense when you have a dedicated cyber security team or SOC and want to test whether their detection and response capabilities hold up against realistic attack scenarios. They are also a good fit if you have already run penetration tests and implemented their findings, and you now want to know whether your overall security posture stands up to a determined attacker — or if your organisation handles sensitive data (financial, healthcare, government) and needs assurance that your defences work in practice, not just on paper. If you have not yet run a pentest or closed the basic technical findings, a one-time penetration test is usually a better place to start.
How is a red team engagement different from a pentest?
A pentest works within a defined technical scope and timeline — the goal is to find as many vulnerabilities as possible within the agreed boundaries, and your security team usually knows it is happening. A red team engagement works the other way around: we agree on a specific objective (for example reaching a particular system or piece of data) and then use any combination of digital, physical and social attack paths to get there, just like a real attacker would. Only a handful of people in your organisation know the engagement is running.
How long does a red team engagement take?
Red team engagements are scoped per objective and typically run from several weeks up to a few months — significantly longer than a pentest, because reconnaissance, quiet access, and the social and physical elements all take time to execute carefully and without being detected too early. The exact duration is agreed and documented in writing before work starts, along with the objective, authorisation and rules of engagement.
Who runs the engagement?
Red team engagements are delivered by senior operators with offensive security and social engineering experience across Europe, Indonesia and Japan. Every operator works under a signed authorisation letter — the "get out of jail" card — that grants permission to attempt the agreed attack vectors. Everything is documented, controlled and debriefed with your organisation at the end.
What do we receive at the end?
A written report covering the objective, the attack paths used, what succeeded and what was blocked, and a timeline view of detection and response from your Blue Team / SOC. The report includes an executive summary for management and a technical section for your security team, plus concrete recommendations on where to strengthen detection, response and controls. Everything is discussed in a debrief session with the people who were authorised to know about the engagement.
