  1. 01

    Understand

    The first and most urgent work is understanding: what you do, what you hold, which systems are in scope, and what has already happened to organizations like yours.

  2. 02

    Threat portfolio

    That research becomes a portfolio — the actors plausibly interested in you, their objectives against your business, and the TTPs they are known to use, mapped to ATT&CK.

  3. 03

    Authorize

    An MOU and rules of engagement go to your stakeholders for sign-off: objectives, boundaries, permitted techniques, deconfliction and abort conditions. Testing is authorized in writing or it does not happen.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Objective-based operations run against the portfolio, in the live environment. Dark, or in purple mode alongside your defenders.

The threat portfolio

Research first, because the adversary already did it

Every engagement opens with the organization rather than the tooling. We work through what your business actually does, the systems in scope and what they carry, and the sector around you — including your competitors: who has been breached, by whom, through what, and what the intruder was after once inside.

That becomes a threat portfolio: the actors with a plausible reason to come for you, the objectives they would pursue against your business, and the techniques they are known to use, mapped to ATT&CK. The operation is then run to that portfolio.

It is also what makes the result legible to the people who fund the fixes. Reaching the payment records lands differently when the brief already named who wants them and why.

Authorized and deconflicted

MOU and ROE before the first packet

A memorandum of understanding and rules of engagement are developed from the portfolio and signed off by your stakeholders before any authorized testing begins. They name the systems in and out of play, the techniques permitted, the operating hours, the deconfliction channel and the conditions under which we stop.

Through the operation there is a named operator on our side and a standing channel on yours. If a defender escalates something at 2am, you can confirm or rule us out in minutes — which is also what makes the detection timeline in the report trustworthy afterwards.

What lands

Every engagement closes with the same artifacts, in your hands and in writing.

  • Threat portfolio

    The actors, objectives and techniques the operation was built from, with the sector research behind them.

  • Signed MOU & ROE

    Scope, permitted techniques, deconfliction and abort conditions, agreed before the operation and kept on file after it.

  • Operation report

    Objectives attempted, paths taken, and what each one would have cost you — written as a narrative an executive can follow.

  • Detection timeline

    What fired, what did not, and when — the defensive half of the result, and the part that turns an operation into a roadmap.

Tell us what you are shipping. We will tell you how it breaks.

Scope calls are 30 minutes with the operator who would run the test, not a salesperson.
