Ethical Hackers. On Demand.

    RedSOC: On-Demand Pentesting by Ethical Hackers

    RedSOC is Sectricity's PTaaS engagement model where ethical hackers pentest, validate, and investigate on demand. 35 services, deployable within days.

    IT environments change faster than annual audits can keep up. When scanners flag findings nobody has time to verify, real risks get buried in noise. RedSOC gives you direct access to ethical hackers who act on what matters, human-validated and accelerated by our AI research framework.

    What RedSOC does

    On-demand Pentesting

    Launch a human-led security test as soon as a new asset, feature, or change goes live. No procurement cycles, no fixed yearly slot, just direct access to ethical hackers when it matters. Tests start within days.

    Manual Validation of Tool Findings

    Already running a vulnerability scanner, ASV platform, or AI pentesting tool? Send us the findings. Our hackers verify what is truly exploitable in your environment, filter false positives, and tell you what to fix first. Our hackers use our proven AI research framework to move faster through reconnaissance and correlation, but every finding is manually validated before it reaches you. No scanner noise, no false positives on your to-do list.

    Compliance-Grade Reporting

    Every engagement produces an audit-ready report with a named lead tester, scope, methodology, findings, and remediation guidance. Direct evidence for NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA, and customer security questionnaires.

    Webapp, API and Business Logic Testing

    Automated platforms find known patterns. Our hackers find broken authorisation, IDOR, race conditions, payment-flow manipulation, and chained-logic flaws that no tool surfaces. This is where most real breaches start.

    Social Engineering and Red Team

    The human attack surface is invisible to scanners. Phishing, vishing, physical intrusion, full red team scenarios with assumed breach. Available on-demand from the same platform.

    35 Services, One Engagement Model

    Pentesting, social engineering, red team, awareness, and more. 35 services through one engagement model. Request through RedSOC and a senior ethical hacker picks it up.

    When customers reach for RedSOC

    After a major change goes live

    New product release, infrastructure migration, vendor onboarding, M&A integration. The annual pentest cycle does not keep pace with the pace of change. RedSOC tests within days of the change, not months later.

    When automated tools flag findings

    Your scanner, ASV platform, or AI pentesting tool reports vulnerabilities. Are they real? Are they exploitable in your context? Which one matters first? Our hackers validate manually, so you do not chase scanner ghosts.

    To prove effectiveness for NIS2 and ISO 27001

    Regulators and auditors expect proportional, documented, repeatable testing of critical systems. RedSOC delivers signed, audit-grade reports per engagement, mapped directly to control requirements.

    When something does not feel right

    A suspicious login, an unexpected exposure, a third-party report, a customer questionnaire. Spin up a focused test instead of waiting for the next scheduled audit cycle.

    Frequently asked questions

    Automated platforms continuously scan and emulate known attack techniques on networks and infrastructure. They are strong at scale and re-testing, but blind to webapp business logic, API authorisation flaws, social engineering, and anything requiring human reasoning. RedSOC is the human layer next to those platforms: when a tool flags something, when context matters, when a signed report is required, our hackers take over.

    Yes, this is one of the most common reasons customers engage with RedSOC. Many already use AI pentesting, DAST, or adversarial validation tooling. RedSOC adds manual validation, deeper web app and API testing, social engineering, and compliance-grade reporting that those tools do not provide.

    Both frameworks require proportional, documented testing of security measures' effectiveness. RedSOC delivers per-engagement, audit-grade reports with a named lead tester, scope, methodology, findings, and evidence of remediation. Tests can be triggered by change events, by audit cycles, or to validate findings from other tools, mapping directly to NIS2 article 21 and ISO 27001 controls A.8.8 and A.8.29.

    A traditional penetration test is a point-in-time assessment: one engagement, fixed scope, fixed schedule. RedSOC works on demand. You request a test when something changes, when a tool flags a finding, or when an audit requires proof. The execution is identical: manually performed and validated by senior ethical hackers, accelerated by our AI research framework. But the timing and accessibility are fundamentally different. No long procurement cycles, tests start within days.
