We find what adversaries find first.
Our certified operators conduct manual penetration tests, red team operations, and adversary simulations built on real-world threat intelligence — so your security team can close the gaps before they are exploited.
Team Certifications
Most security assessments tell you what tools found.
Our operators show you what adversaries would exploit.
Every assessment is conducted by OSCP, CRTO, or CREST-certified operators with hands-on experience in real-world intrusion scenarios — not automated scanning tools.
We profile the threat actors documented as targeting your sector and replicate their documented TTPs, infrastructure patterns, and operational objectives.
Every finding includes exploitation evidence, business impact analysis, and a prioritised remediation roadmap — designed to be understood by executives and implemented by engineers.
Thirty days of retesting, walkthroughs, and validation are included with every engagement. We remain available until remediation is confirmed and gaps are closed.
Measurable outcomes. Verifiable security improvements.
Every engagement is designed to produce actionable intelligence that strengthens your security posture. These anonymised case studies illustrate the outcomes our clients achieve.
SWIFT Infrastructure Assessment
47 critical vulnerabilities identified before adversaries could exploit them
A Tier-1 bank engaged OFFCEPT to assess their SWIFT messaging infrastructure over a four-week period. Our operators identified misconfigured HSM key management, unauthenticated API endpoints, and a viable cross-border transaction manipulation chain — enabling the bank to remediate all findings before audit.
Ransomware Readiness Evaluation
Full domain compromise demonstrated within 4 hours
A multi-site hospital group requested a Ryuk-style attack simulation to evaluate their detection and response capabilities. Our operators achieved domain admin via a phishing vector, traversed medical device networks, and demonstrated the exfiltration path for 2.1M patient records — providing the evidence needed to prioritise security investment.
Cloud Infrastructure Red Team
2.3M-record exfiltration path exposed and secured
A SaaS provider sought to validate their AWS security controls. Our red team exploited misconfigured IAM roles, pivoted through Lambda functions, and accessed production databases — revealing the detection gaps that their SOC monitoring had not identified, along with a precise remediation plan.
Comprehensive offensive security services.
Every engagement is informed by the threat actors documented as targeting your sector. Our practitioners operate manually — no scanner substitutes — to deliver findings that reflect your actual risk.
- 01Penetration Testing›
Comprehensive assessments of your external perimeter, internal network, web applications, and cloud infrastructure — conducted manually by certified operators to identify exploitable weaknesses.
- 02Red Team Operations›
Full-scope adversary simulations designed to test your organisation's detection and response capabilities against realistic, multi-stage attack scenarios.
- 03Social Engineering›
Targeted assessments of your workforce's resilience to spear-phishing, vishing, smishing, and physical intrusion — the same techniques adversaries use to gain initial access.
- 04Adversary Simulation›
Engagements that replicate the infrastructure, TTPs, and operational playbooks of the specific threat actors documented as targeting your sector.
- 05Threat Intelligence›
Operational intelligence that strengthens your defensive posture — dark web monitoring, IOC tracking, and sector-specific threat actor profiling tailored to your environment.
Threat-informed testing built on real adversary intelligence.
Every sector faces a defined set of threat actors. We build engagements around their documented TTPs, infrastructure patterns, and operational objectives — so your team can prepare for the threats most relevant to your organisation.

Surface Mapping
We begin by mapping your attack surface using the same open-source intelligence and reconnaissance techniques adversaries employ — including infrastructure enumeration and sector-specific threat actor profiling.
- Attack surface enumeration
- OSINT & passive reconnaissance
- Threat actor profiling
- Scope definition
Controlled Access
Our operators gain initial access through realistic attack vectors aligned to the defined threat actor — whether phishing, external service exploitation, or supply chain compromise.
- Initial access simulation
- Foothold establishment
- Detection evasion testing
- Persistence mechanisms
Full Exploitation
With a foothold established, we escalate privileges, traverse internal networks, and pursue the engagement objective — replicating the full attack chain a real adversary would follow.
- Privilege escalation
- Lateral movement
- Objective achievement
- Data exfiltration simulation
Intelligence Delivery
Every technique is documented with evidence, including an executive summary, full technical findings with proof-of-concept, and a prioritised remediation roadmap. Thirty days of operator support is included.

Sector-specific threats require sector-specific expertise.
Each sector faces a distinct threat landscape. We profile the adversaries documented as targeting your industry and design engagements around their specific TTPs — delivering assessments that reflect your actual risk.

Trusted by security leaders across industries.
OFFCEPT's team demonstrated how an advanced threat actor could chain vulnerabilities to compromise our SWIFT infrastructure. The fidelity of the simulation provided our security team with insights that directly improved our defensive posture.
Tier-1 Banking Group, EMEATheir red team achieved domain admin within six hours. That result provided the evidence our board needed to approve a significant increase in cybersecurity investment. The findings were precise and the remediation guidance was immediately actionable.
Global Financial Services FirmThe threat actor profiling was exceptional — they understood our specific adversaries better than our own intelligence team. The engagement produced a clear, prioritised roadmap that our engineers could implement without additional interpretation.
