Beyond compliance testing
Penetration testing tells you where the gaps are. Red and purple teaming tells you whether your organisation — your people, your processes, your detection capability — would actually hold up against a determined attacker. That is a fundamentally different question, and one that matters more as your security programme matures.
Attack. Detect. Improve.
Red team
Full-scope adversary simulation
A covert, objective-led attack against your organisation — no prior warning, no defined scope boundaries. Our red team operates exactly as a real threat actor would, using the same tools, techniques, and patience.
- Threat intelligence-led scenario planning
- Multi-vector attack chains — network, identity, social
- Command & control infrastructure simulation
- Lateral movement & objective attainment
Purple team
Collaborative detection validation
A transparent, joint exercise where our attackers and your defenders work side by side — running attack techniques in real time and immediately validating whether your detection and response capability catches them.
- MITRE ATT&CK-mapped attack execution
- Live detection gap identification
- Real-time SOC and analyst feedback
- Detection rule tuning during the exercise
- Measurable improvement before you leave the room
Attack and defend — under one roof
Offence informed by defence
- Our red teamers understand how SOCs work — and our SOC analysts understand how attackers think. That shared knowledge makes both disciplines sharper.
Findings that feed your programme
- Red and purple team outputs connect directly into vulnerability management, detection engineering, and incident response — not just a report that sits on a shelf
TIBER-EU and DORA aligned
- For financial sector organisations with threat-led penetration testing obligations, our engagements are structured to meet TIBER-EU and DORA TLPT requirements.
Real improvement, not just a score
- We measure success by how much better your defences are at the end of an engagement — not by the number of findings in a report.
Purple teaming works best when your SOC is already running.
Get the most from collaborative exercises by pairing them with Nomios Guardian xMDR — our analysts participate directly in purple team sessions, and detection improvements are deployed into your live environment immediately.
