Red Team Assessment

Red Team Assessment

Evaluate your organization's current security capabilities by undergoing a holistic test of your business’ cybersecurity practices and current security controls.

By working with your organization to understand the security concerns most relevant to your sector and business, our red team will design a targeted assessment that truly challenges your ability to detect, respond, and prevent sophisticated, persistent and targeted threats.

The Importance of a Red Team Assessment

Performing a red team assessment will help you understand your immediate threat profile and how well your current protocols and procedures would defend against a real-world attack.

  • Assess Security Processes and Controls – A red team assessment provides assurance that your processes and controls are optimally configured, working as intended, and will remain secure in real world threat scenarios.
  • Worst Case Scenario - Companies lack a true understanding of how their people, processes and technologies would handle a worst-case threat scenario or if critical business processes would remain operational if their business was compromised by a skilled adversary.
  • Internal SOC Testing – Red team assessments provide an opportunity to train business security operations center (SOC) with up-to-date approaches and processes that enable them to effectively respond to new and persistent threats.

How we Conduct a Red Team Assessment

Bridewell will work with your organization to understand your individual business objectives and the range of potential threats and security risks. Using these, Bridewell will work with your organization to identify the scope of the engagement and provide a quotation.

In order to deliver an effective Red Team, the Red Team Lead and all involved parties take part in a full scoping day to outline every important detail for the engagement. 

Once the scope of the assessment has been agreed, Bridewell will begin the assessment. Bridewell will carry out the assessment over a defined period of time, in line with the agreed rules of engagement. They will aim to complete all objectives and goals within the defined timeframe.

Throughout the assessment, Bridewell’s Red Team will be in constant contact with the key contacts. This ensures the engagement is proceeding safely, securely and continues to deliver the expected results within the time frames.

Once the assessment has been completed, Bridewell will share a report with key stakeholders to provide detailed analysis covering all aspects of the test in detail.  

Bridewell also provides a live debrief where the Red Team who performed the assessment can present their findings to key individuals and answer any questions they may have.

Customised Red Team Engagements

Beyond a typical Red Team Assessment, Bridewell can also provide engagements featuring any combination of the following: 

Red Team Assessment FAQ's

Red team assessments are authorized, simulated and goal-focused cyber attacks designed to test an organization's detection and response capabilities across multiple security platforms and personnel.

Red team assessments are independent, adversarial simulations designed to test the detection and response capabilities of an organization – whereas purple team assessments are collaborative, with red and blue (defensive) teams working against each other to test threat responses.

In a purple team assessment, the red team act as potential attackers, aiming (within an agreed framework) to achieve an agreed objective (such as exfiltrating data or gaining access to a particular network). The blue team allows the red to test how they would respond to this activity in real time, helping them to improve their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) should a real incident occur. All of this is controlled, so as not to impact production environments or operations.

The cost of Bridewell’s red team assessment services can vary depending on the size of your organization, the number of attack vectors and the project scope.
