Red Teaming Testing Services
Simulated attacks that show you what works, what doesn’t, and what needs improving.
What Is Red Teaming Testing?
Red Teaming goes far beyond a standard security test. Instead of following a checklist like a traditional Pen Test, it recreates the tactics and techniques that real attackers use. The goal is simple. To show how your organisation would cope if someone tried to break in for real.
Have you ever wondered how quickly your team would spot a threat? Or how far an attacker could get before anyone noticed? A Red Team exercise helps answer those questions. It highlights gaps in your defences. It reveals areas where your team might need more support. And it gives you a clear picture of how prepared you really are.
One of the reasons organisations choose Red Teaming is its unpredictability. Every engagement looks different. It is shaped around your environment, your risks, and what matters most to your organisation. For example, your Red Team exercise might explore:
- Attempts to access personal or sensitive data.
- Pathways into financial systems or payment processes.
- Whether an attacker could escalate privileges and reach domain admin.
- How easily someone could move laterally without being detected.
- The speed and confidence of your incident response.
These scenarios help you understand where you are strong and where there is room to improve. They also paint a realistic picture of how your organisation would perform if a real attacker came knocking.
Our team is CREST and OSCP certified, with deep experience in running realistic red teaming simulations that reflect how modern threats actually unfold.

How Good Are Your Defences? Discover Red Teaming In Cyber Security:
You’re probably already investing a lot into keeping your organisation secure. But it’s hard to ignore the headlines. Even the biggest and best-resourced organisations still face breaches. And when that happens, it is usually because an attacker found the one route no one expected.
So what would that look like in your environment:
- Would your team spot the attacker early?
- How long would it take to piece together what happened?
- And would you be confident in understanding the full impact?
A Red Team ethical hacker helps you find out in a safe and controlled way. It shows you how your defences perform under real pressure and gives you the clarity you need to strengthen them before a genuine attack ever reaches your door.
The MITRE ATT&CK Framework
To make every Red Team engagement meaningful, we use the MITRE ATT&CK framework. It is a globally recognised knowledge base that breaks down how real attackers behave in the wild. Every tactic and technique in the framework is based on documented, real-world activity, not theory.
Why does this matter for you? Because it ensures your Red Team assessment mirrors realistic behaviour, not guesswork. It helps us understand how an attacker might approach your environment, how they would try to move, and where your current controls might stop them or let them slip through.
The framework covers two key areas:
By using this structure, we can help you:
- Test how well your controls work in real scenarios
- Check that your environment is protected against a wide range of known techniques
- Spot gaps in visibility, detection, or prevention
- Validate whether your tools and configurations are doing what you expect
- Show where an attacker might succeed and where they would be stopped
- Remove assumptions by proving what is and is not detected
Our Comprehensive Approach To PRE-ATT&CK And ATT&CK Enterprise
To understand how an attacker thinks, you need to look at the full journey of an attack. That is why we combine both PRE-ATT&CK and ATT&CK Enterprise. Together, they map out every stage an attacker might go through, from their earliest planning to the actions they take once inside your systems.
If you have ever seen the Cyber Kill Chain, you will recognise the structure. It breaks an attack into clear, logical steps. This makes it easier to see where your defences are working and where there may be room to improve.
Here is how the phases align in simple terms:
PRE-ATT&CK
Lines up with the first three stages of the kill chain. This includes reconnaissance, preparation, and delivery.
ATT&CK Enterprise
Maps to the later stages. These involve exploitation, installation, command and control, and the attacker attempting to complete their objectives.
Looking at the full journey gives you a realistic view of how an attack might unfold in your organisation. It also helps you understand where your defences are strong and where an attacker might find a way through.

Frequently Asked Questions
You are probably familiar with Pen Testing. It checks for vulnerabilities and shows where weaknesses exist. Red Teaming takes things one step further.
Instead of testing individual systems, it looks at how an attacker might try to access your organisation as a whole. It tests your people, your processes, and your technology. It challenges your detection and response capabilities in a realistic but controlled environment.
Think of Pen Testing as checking if the doors and windows are locked. Red Teaming looks at what an attacker might do if they tried every possible route to get in.
This is a common concern. No one wants a security assessment that creates more problems than it solves.
Red Teaming is designed to be safe, controlled, and respectful of your business needs.
We work closely with you to agree on boundaries, communication plans, and safety measures. Our goal is to test your defences without interrupting your day to day operations or putting your systems at risk.
Finding gaps can feel unsettling, but discovering them during a Red Team exercise is the best possible outcome. It means you have time to fix them before someone with malicious intent finds them first.
We will guide you through every finding, explain the root cause, and help you prioritise the next steps. You will come away with clear, actionable recommendations rather than long lists of issues with no guidance.
Not at all. Red Teaming is valuable for any business that wants a realistic view of its Cyber Security posture, whether you have a large security team or a small one.
If you are responsible for safeguarding sensitive data or critical services, a Red Team exercise can provide clarity, reassurance, and direction.
Many organisations choose to follow up Red Teaming with more focused support. This could include:
• Penetration Testing to address specific systems or applications
• Security monitoring and threat detection
• Cyber Awareness Training to strengthen staff response
• Compliance services such as Cyber Essentials, IASME, or PCI DSS
You are in control of the journey. We simply help you build the right layers of protection based on what the Red Team results reveal.
