Elite Red Team Service. Test Your Defenses.
Test Your Defense & Response Against a Real-World Attack.
Standard penetration tests find open doors; a Red Team service tests your ability to catch a thief. In the modern threat landscape, compliance is not enough. You need to know if your Blue Team (defenders) can detect, respond to, and contain a sophisticated adversary before data is exfiltrated.
Our Red Team services go beyond vulnerability lists. We perform full-scope, multi-layered attack simulations by blending digital, physical, and social engineering vectors to emulate the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of advanced persistent threats (APTs).

We have enjoyed working with HAVEN6. They were able to help us on some long-term agreements for pen testing.
Their personnel and management are easy to work with.
We look forward to our next project with them!

What Requires Penetration Testing Services?
Penetration testing is no longer just for Fortune 500 companies. It is a critical requirement for any organization handling data. You typically need our services if:
Compliance & Regulation
You must meet strict mandates for PCI DSS (Req 11.3), SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST, or CMMC.
New Product Launch
You are releasing a new mobile app, SaaS platform, or major feature update and need to ensure it is secure by design.
Ransomware Defense
You want to proactively identify the open doors (like RDP or Phishing) that ransomware gangs use to enter networks.
Enterprise Clients
Your enterprise clients require a clean penetration test report before they will sign a contract or buy your software.
Mergers & Acquisitions
You are acquiring a company and need to assess their Technical Security Debt before closing the deal.
Types of Red Team Services We Offer
We tailor our operations to your specific security maturity level. Below is a breakdown of our core engagement models.
| Assessment Type | Description |
| External Red Team | A Zero-Knowledge attack simulation. We start from the internet with no access, utilizing Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), phishing, and perimeter exploitation to breach your network and move laterally toward critical assets. |
| Internal (Assumed Breach) | We fast-forward the attack lifecycle by starting inside the network (simulating a compromised employee laptop or malicious insider). This focuses purely on lateral movement, privilege escalation, and evasion of internal controls. |
| Physical & Social Engineering | We test the human and physical layer. This includes tailgating into offices, badge cloning, dropping malicious USB drives, and phone-based social engineering (vishing) to gain network access. |
| Purple Team | A collaborative exercise where our Red Team (attackers) works side-by-side with your Blue Team (defenders). We execute an attack, check if you saw it, tune your SIEM/EDR, and repeat. This maximizes training value. |
What Our Red Teaming Service Includes
Our methodology is rigorous and aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework. We do not just hack; we replicate specific threat behaviors.
Red Teaming Service Deliverables
You don’t just get a list of bugs; you get a narrative of the battle that took place in your physical, digital, and social environments.
Attack Narrative Timeline
A minute-by-minute log of every action taken, allowing your Blue Team to cross-reference their logs to see exactly what they missed and when.
Executive Impact Report
A non-technical summary explaining the business consequences of the breach (e.g., financial loss estimates, brand impact, risk analysis).
Technical Findings & Remediation
Deep-dive technical details on how defenses were bypassed, including code snippets and configuration changes to block future attacks.
Indicators of Compromise (IoC)
We provide the hashes, IP addresses, and artifacts used during the test so you can configure your security tools to detect them in the future.

Red Team: FAQs
Learn more information about the most frequently asked questions.
What Is Red Teaming?
Red Teaming is a goal-oriented security exercise that simulates a realistic cyberattack to assess an organization’s detection and response capabilities. Unlike a penetration test, which seeks to find all flaws, a Red Team operation seeks to achieve a specific objective (e.g., “steal the customer database” or “deploy ransomware”) using stealth, evasion, and any means necessary, exactly as a real malicious actor would.
Penetration Test vs Red Team?
A penetration test searches for all vulnerabilities to fix bugs. A Red Team operation attempts to achieve a specific objective (like stealing data) to test your people, processes, and technology. Pen tests are about hygiene; Red Teaming is about resilience.
Is my organization ready for a Red Team assessment?
If you haven’t performed regular vulnerability scanning and standard penetration testing, Red Teaming is likely too advanced. It is designed for mature organizations that already have a functioning Security Operations Center (SOC) and want to stress-test it.
How long does a Red Team engagement take?
Unlike pen tests which take days, Red Team operations require time for reconnaissance and stealth. Engagements typically last between 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the scope and objectives.
Will the Red Team notify us before the attack starts?
Typically, no. To test realistic response capabilities, the Blue Team (defenders) is not informed. However, a White Team (trusted executives at your company) will be fully aware and in constant communication with us.
Do you use ransomware in your simulation?
We simulate the behavior of ransomware (such as spreading across the network and locating backups) to prove impact, but we never actually encrypt or destroy your production data.
What happens if you get caught by our Blue Team?
That is a success! If your team detects and blocks us, it proves your defenses are working. We will then pivot to a different attack method or, in a Purple Team scenario, reset and try again to help test further defenses.
Do you align with the MITRE ATT&CK framework?
Yes. All our reports map our actions to specific MITRE ATT&CK IDs. This helps you identify which specific tactics (e.g., Lateral Movement, Exfiltration) your organization is weak against.
Can you perform Red Teaming on Cloud environments (AWS/Azure)?
Yes. We specialize in cloud-native Red Teaming, testing for misconfigured IAM roles, serverless exploits, and cloud-to-ground pivoting.
What is Assumed Breach and why should we do it?
Perimeter defenses eventually fail. An Assumed Breach test skips the perimeter hack and places our team inside your network immediately. This is the most cost-effective way to test your internal monitoring and segmentation.
How much does a Red Team assessment cost?
Costs vary based on the duration, number of objectives, and complexity of the environment. Because Red Teaming involves senior-level operators and custom tool development, it is a premium service compared to standard pentesting. Contact us for a custom quote.
