Offensive Security
Manual, objective-driven testing from the attacker's position: penetration tests, red team engagements, and product-level vulnerability research.
Overview
An attack route you can close
The question is whether a determined attacker can reach something that matters, and how. The answer is a route, reproduced and evidenced, that your engineers can follow and close.
Scanners find the classes of issue they were written to find; the findings that end up mattering are usually the chain, three unremarkable weaknesses that combine into access nobody intended. Establishing that takes a person.
Engagements
Adversary simulation
Most organizations start with one engagement type and add others as they learn where they are weakest.
Penetration Testing
Applications and infrastructure
Red Team Engagements
Objective-driven, full scope
Purple Team Engagements
Run alongside your defenders
Social Engineering and Phishing Simulation
People and processes
EDR and XDR Validation
Endpoint detection and response coverage
External Attack Surface Assessment
Continuous evaluation of what you expose to the internet
Product Security
Software taken apart
Closed-source software analyzed the way a sophisticated attacker would: from the compiled binary, not the source. For the teams that build products and for the organizations that depend on them.
Reverse Engineering and Binary Analysis
Closed-source software and firmware
Vulnerability Research
Discover unknown vulnerabilities
Exploit Development and Proof of Concept
From finding to working demonstration
SBOM and Third-Party Component Review
Supply chain exposure
Process
How an engagement runs
The same shape every time, whatever the scope. Nothing starts without written authorization.
- 1
Scoping
We agree the targets, the objective, and the access level before anything begins.
- 2
Rules of Engagement
Written authorization, tested windows, out-of-bounds systems, and named contacts on both sides.
- 3
Execution
Testing runs to the agreed window. Anything critical is reported the day it is confirmed.
- 4
Reporting
An executive summary for decision-makers and a technical body for the engineers who fix it.
- 5
Debrief
A walkthrough with the engineers who own the systems.
- 6
Retest
Once fixes are in, we verify them and reissue the report.
Access level
Levels of access
This is the decision that most changes what the engagement can find, and it is worth making deliberately.

What you receive
Everything below is included within the engagement.
- Executive summary
- Technical findings with reproduction steps and working evidence
- Severity rated on impact in your environment
- Remediation guidance specific to your stack
- Raw evidence collected during the assessment
- Debrief session with the engineers and IT administrators that own the systems
- Retest of fixes, with the report reissued to show what is closed
Questions
Common questions
How long does an engagement take?
It depends entirely on scope. A single web application is usually 6 to 8 days; a red team engagement runs over weeks because it includes reconnaissance and patience. We give a window with the scope, before you commit.
What do you need from us to scope it?
A description of the systems, roughly how big they are, and what worries you about them. That is enough to come back with a defined scope.
Will testing disrupt production?
Testing is designed not to. Denial of service is out of scope unless you explicitly ask for it, destructive actions are agreed in advance, and we work to your windows. Anything carrying real risk is discussed with you before it happens.
How do you handle what you find?
Findings, evidence, and any tooling written during the engagement are delivered encrypted and held only as long as agreed. We sign your NDA.
How often should we test?
Annually is the usual baseline, and after any significant architectural change. Testing once and treating the result as permanent is the common mistake: the report describes the system on the day it was tested.
We have never done this before. Are we ready?
If you are unsure, a purple team exercise or an external attack surface assessment tends to produce more value than a red team. A red team measures whether your defenses hold; if you already suspect they will not, there are better ways to confirm it.
