Red Team Assessment
A Red Team Assessment goes beyond traditional penetration testing. Instead of simply identifying vulnerabilities, we simulate a motivated, real-world adversary attempting to breach your organization’s defenses, evade detection, escalate privileges, and access your most critical assets.
Our Red Team engagements are designed to evaluate your organization’s detection, prevention, and response capabilities, using advanced adversarial tactics aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK® Framework.
We help you understand how attackers could compromise your environment—and how well your security team can detect and stop them.
Our Pentest Methodology
1
Scoping & Planning
We define the assessment goals, target environments, allowed techniques, engagement rules, and communication workflows. This ensures a safe, controlled simulation without disrupting business operations.
2
Reconnaissance & Initial Access Simulation
We conduct controlled reconnaissance to identify potential entry points and attempt to gain initial access through approved techniques such as social engineering, external exploitation, or cloud-based attack paths.
3
Threat Modeling & Adversary Planning
We build an attacker profile based on industry threats, known adversary behaviors, and your business context. This helps prioritize realistic attack paths and determine how a real attacker would target your organization.
4
Vulnerability Discovery & Exploitation
We identify and validate security weaknesses across applications, infrastructure, identities, and cloud environments. Using real-world attacker techniques, we safely exploit confirmed vulnerabilities to demonstrate true business impact, validate exploitability, and chain weaknesses together—mirroring how a skilled adversary would progress rather than reporting isolated findings.
5
Post-Exploitation & Privilege Escalation
After a foothold is achieved, we simulate attacker techniques such as internal reconnaissance, credential harvesting, privilege escalation, and stealthy movement through the network or cloud environment.
6
Reporting, Debrief & Remediation Support
You receive a detailed attack narrative mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, along with actionable remediation guidance. We conduct a full debrief for your security team and offer an optional Purple Team session to help strengthen detection and response capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our web application penetration testing services
Penetration tests identify vulnerabilities.
Red Teaming simulates a real adversary—not just vulnerability scanning, but evasion, persistence, and full attack chains.
No. We follow strict rules of engagement and only use controlled techniques to ensure zero business disruption.
Yes—if approved. Options include phishing, vishing, smishing, and physical assessments.
Typically 4–8 weeks, depending on stealth level and scope.
Yes. We assess all relevant environments.
Retesting is available upon request and depends on the scope of remediation. We recommend connecting with our team to understand the best retesting approach for your environment.
Yes. The report contains a complete attack narrative and MITRE mapping.
