Offensive Security

    Red Team Operations

    Built as a cybersecurity fire drill. Our red team runs end-to-end attack scenarios with both cyber and physical components, testing people, processes and controls under realistic pressure. With concrete insights you can strengthen detection, response and resilience.

    What is Red Team testing?

    Red Team testing is not a checklist-driven pentest. It is a goal-oriented attack simulation in which we act as real adversaries, attempting to access sensitive data or compromise critical systems, without revealing the scope or timing to your defenders.

    Unlike traditional pentesting, which focuses on finding individual vulnerabilities, Red Team operations test attack paths, decision-making, and security monitoring across people, processes, and technology.

    We end the exercise before any real harm is done and provide a clear breakdown of how the attack succeeded, what was missed, and how to prevent it next time.

    Why Red Team is important

    Realistic threat

    Experience how an advanced attacker would target your organisation using the same tactics criminals use.

    Test detection and response

    Does your security team notice the attack? Can they stop it? We test your Security Operations Centre, procedures, and tools.

    Human factor

    Understand how people, processes, and decisions influence the success of attacks.

    Complete coverage

    We combine technical tactics, social engineering, and physical access into a single coordinated attack.

    How we execute a Red Team operation

    Our Red Team operations are executed by certified ethical hackers who think and act like real attackers. Each project has clear boundaries and rules of engagement. Realistic testing without disrupting your business.

    We gather information about your organization, exactly as hackers do
    First access via technical vulnerabilities or by deceiving people
    We ensure we maintain access and move undetected through your network
    We gain increasingly higher privileges until we reach our goal
    We test whether your security systems detect us and if your team responds
    Comprehensive reporting with tactical recommendations to strengthen your defense
    Ethical Attacker Approach
    No automated scans. Real adversary simulation.

    Sectricity acts as ethical attackers who replicate the mindset and methods of sophisticated threat actors. Our team manually crafts attack chains, adapts to defensive responses, and pursues objectives just as a real adversary would.

    All operations are conducted within agreed scope and rules of engagement, with clear communication channels and emergency stop procedures in place.
