VAPT
Find and fix weaknesses in apps, APIs, networks and cloud before attackers exploit them.

Red Team & Social Engineering
Test your people, processes and technology against realistic, goal-based attack simulations.
The problem
Attackers do not limit themselves to one system. They combine phishing, phone calls, weak processes and technical flaws to reach their goal.
A red team exercise tests how well your people, processes and technology detect and respond to a realistic attack, showing you where defences break down.
What's included
- Goal-based red team exercises
- Phishing simulations
- Vishing (voice phishing) simulations
- Ransomware simulation
- Breach-and-attack simulation
- Detection and response assessment
Deliverables
What you receive
- Attack narrative showing the path taken

How an engagement runs
Durations depend on scope and are fixed in your proposal.
Plan
Agree objectives, rules of engagement and written authorisation.
Reconnaissance
Gather information an attacker could use.
Execute
Run agreed attack scenarios safely and in a controlled way.
Report
Share the attack path, results and gaps found.
Debrief
Walk your teams through findings and improvements.

FAQ
Red Team & Social Engineering — common questions
Is a red team exercise safe for production?
Exercises follow strict, agreed rules of engagement with a named contact on your side who can pause testing at any time.
Will staff be named in the report?
Social engineering results are reported to support training, not blame. We agree how results are shared before the exercise.
How is this different from a VAPT?
A VAPT finds as many vulnerabilities as possible in defined systems. A red team exercise pursues a specific goal, like an attacker would, and tests your detection and response.
