Penetration Testing & Red Teaming
Authorised testing of applications and networks under rules of engagement, with evidence and prioritised remediation recommendations.
Authorised adversarial testing under written rules of engagement: can an attacker achieve defined objectives against your applications, networks or critical paths? Findings are validated, prioritised by exploitability and reported for client-owned action — not a generic scan dump. We do not implement the fixes we find; retest is available as contracted.
What this covers
- Rules of engagement, targets and constraints in writing
- Black-box, grey-box and objective-based red-team options
- Validated exploitable findings with evidence
- Prioritised remediation recommendations and retest as contracted
Typical outcomes
Exploitable findings with evidence; prioritised remediation recommendations; clearer residual risk for stakeholders.
When to engage
Teams needing independent adversarial validation of applications, networks or critical paths before release or review.
Engagement model
- Define rules of engagement, targets and constraints.
- Execute authorised testing (black-box, grey-box or objective-based).
- Validate findings and collect evidence.
- Deliver report with prioritised remediation recommendations; retest as contracted.
