How we work

Our Methodology

No two engagements look the same. The structure stays consistent: understand the threat, test against it, deliver findings, verify the fix.

Engagement Process

How every engagement runs

Every engagement follows the same structure, adapted to your specific environment and threat landscape. Clear scope, thorough testing, actionable reporting, verified results.

01

Scoping & Threat Modelling

Understand your environment, your sector, and who would realistically target you. Build a threat model that shapes the engagement. Study the actual threat actors in your industry and define objectives that match your risk priorities.

02

Testing & Exploitation

Test using the same techniques as the threat groups we profiled. Chain vulnerabilities across systems, networks, and applications into full attack paths.

03

Reporting & Debrief

Weekly updates during the engagement. Final report with proof of exploitation, business impact, and remediation path. We walk your team through it in a live debrief.

04

Remediation & Validation

We stick around. Work with your team to triage, answer questions during remediation, and re-test fixes to confirm they work.

What is included

What comes with every engagement

Expert-driven testing

The real findings come from intuition, creative chaining, and judgment calls built on years of hands-on experience.

Threat-informed attack scenarios

We profile threat actors relevant to your sector and replicate their techniques. The actual TTPs from threat intelligence reports, not generic checklists.

Weekly sync calls during engagement

You get weekly status updates, early warning on critical findings, and a direct line to the operator running your engagement.

Remediation re-testing included

After you fix the findings, we re-test them. No extra charge. We confirm the fix works and document the verified improvement.

Post-engagement detection tuning

For red team engagements, we sit down with your SOC team and walk through every action we took, every alert that fired (or did not), and give you a prioritised list of detection improvements.

Rules of engagement tailored to you

We work around your operational hours, avoid critical systems during peak times, and define clear boundaries before the engagement starts. You stay in control throughout.

What you receive

What you walk away with

Executive Summary

A high-level overview of the engagement, risk posture, and top priorities. Written for leadership and board-level audiences.

Technical Report

Every finding with proof of exploitation, reproduction steps, affected components, and specific remediation guidance. Written for engineers to act on immediately.

Attack Path Maps

Visual diagrams showing the full chain of exploitation from initial access to objective. Your team sees exactly how an attacker would move through your environment.

Remediation Tracker

A prioritised list of findings ranked by risk and effort. Your team can track remediation progress and we re-test when you are ready.

How we would test yours

Every engagement starts with a conversation about your threat landscape. Talk to our operators about scoping an assessment that matches what you actually face.
