Penetration Testing & Red Teaming
Test your defences the way a real attacker would, and turn the findings into lasting improvement.
Policies and controls only matter if they hold up under attack. Through our specialist testing partners, we deliver penetration testing and red team exercises led by OSCP- and OSCE-certified testers. We then connect the results back to your risk register, compliance obligations and security roadmap, so findings get fixed instead of filed.
Testing services
External and internal network testing. Identify exploitable weaknesses in internet-facing systems and internal networks before attackers do.
Web application and API testing. Find vulnerabilities in your applications, from authentication and access control flaws to injection and business logic issues.
Cloud security testing. Assess the configuration and security of your AWS, Azure or Google Cloud environments.
Social engineering. Test how your people respond to realistic phishing and pretexting attempts.
Red team exercises. Goal-based, multi-stage simulations of a determined attacker, testing your detection and response as well as your defences.
How we're different
Most testing firms deliver a report and walk away. We start from your governance and compliance context:
Scoped to your obligations. We design tests around what matters for ISO 27001, CPS 234 or your customers' requirements, so results count as evidence.
Findings with context. We translate technical findings into business risk your board and executives can act on.
Remediation that sticks. We feed findings into your risk register and security roadmap, and track them to closure.
Who does the testing
Testing is delivered by vetted specialist partners, whose testers hold OSCP and OSCE certifications, among the most respected hands-on offensive security credentials. Our primary testing partner has held ISO 27001 certification since 2012. We manage every engagement end to end, from scoping and rules of engagement through to reporting and remediation planning, so you have one point of contact throughout.
Start with a scoping conversation
Every test starts with understanding what you need to prove and to whom. Talk to us about your environment and objectives, and we'll recommend the right type and depth of testing.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a penetration test and a red team exercise?
A penetration test aims to find as many vulnerabilities as possible in a defined scope. A red team exercise simulates a real attacker pursuing a specific goal, testing whether your people, processes and technology detect and stop them. Most organisations should start with penetration testing.
How often should we test?
At least annually, and after significant changes to your systems. ISO 27001, CPS 234 and many customer contracts expect regular testing of your security controls.
Will testing disrupt our systems?
Testing is carefully scoped and agreed in advance, with clear rules of engagement and timing. Your team stays informed throughout.
