Red Team Assessment

A goal, a time box, and no warning to your defenders. We test detection, not just doors.
Typical duration
3-6 weeks
Starting price
Scoped
You provide
Objective only, agreed with a small internal group

[ 01 / The engagement ]

A red team engagement measures your response, not your patch level. You give us an objective, the payroll database, the build pipeline, a signed release, and we take whatever path reaches it, over weeks rather than days, staying quiet. The deliverable is not just how we got in. It is which of your controls fired, which stayed silent, and how long it took anyone to notice.

[ 02 / Coverage ]

What we test, in practice.

This is the working checklist, not a marketing list. Anything your scope adds gets written into the engagement letter before we start.

Methodology

  4. 04Command and control over resilient, low-profile channels
  5. 05Persistence, privilege escalation and long-horizon lateral movement
  6. 06Detection timeline reconstructed against your SOC's own logs
  7. 07Purple team replay session with your defenders afterwards

[ 03 / What you get ]

Four things land at the end of every engagement.

Technical report

Every finding with CVSS v4.0 score, evidence, reproduction steps and a specific fix, written for the engineer who has to close it.

Executive summary

Two pages your board can read. Risk in business terms, with the three things that matter most called out.

Letter of attestation

A shareable document proving the test happened and what it covered, for customers and auditors who should not see the full report.

Free retest

Once you have fixed things, the same tester verifies each finding and reissues the report. Included for 90 days.

[ 04 / Questions ]

Before you commit.

A control group of two or three people, usually the CISO and one operations lead. Everyone else stays unaware. That is what makes the detection timeline meaningful. We hold signed authorisation throughout.

That is a good outcome and we record it precisely. Depending on the rules of engagement we either go quiet and re-approach, or declare and continue from the point of detection so the rest of the objective still gets tested.

Send us the target and the deadline. You get a written scope and a fixed price, usually within one working day.
