SecTeam / Independent Offensive SecurityPenetration Testing · Red Team · AI SecurityEN / 2026

Find exploitable weaknesses before attackers do.

Penetration testing, Red Team operations and adversary simulation for organisations that need to understand their real security exposure. Security testing built around real attack paths, not automated scans.

  • Manual testing
  • Authorised scope
  • Evidence and remediation
  • Retest included

A scanner finds potential weaknesses. We determine whether they can actually be exploited.

Automated scanners identify potential weaknesses. We determine whether those weaknesses can actually be exploited, combined and used to compromise your environment. The distance between a CVE list and a real risk is manual work.

01
Manual
Driven by consultants, not by a scanner report.
02
Evidence-based
Every finding is proven with reproducible evidence.
03
Exploitation
We test how far an attacker can actually go.
04
Contextual
Risk is measured against your business, not in the abstract.

Five areas, no scope creep.

We do not sell fifteen services. We focus on offensive security applied to real production infrastructure and applications.

Risks we look for
Attack chains that cross multiple systems, detection gaps, paths a single-scope pentest never sees.
What you receive
Operation narrative, timeline, what was detected and what was not, prevention and detection recommendations.
Retest
Purple Team and detection validation available as a follow-up phase.

Risks we look for
Unauthorised actions through agents, data exfiltration from context, over-broad permissions, exposed secrets.
What you receive
Findings specific to the AI application, with business impact and concrete hardening guidance.
Retest
Retest included after remediation.

↓ Scroll to move through the five areas

What makes us different.

The difference is not the number of findings. It is the method behind them and how you can use them.

01

Manual testing over automated scanning

Scanners cover the surface. The real work is finding what they miss.

02

Real-world attack scenarios

We test how an attacker would behave, not a checklist.

03

Exploit validation

A finding without proof of exploitability is a guess. We verify it.

04

Business impact analysis

Severity is tied to what actually happens if the weakness is used.

05

Clear remediation guidance

Concrete steps for the people fixing it, not generic recommendations.

06

Retesting included or available

We confirm the fixes actually hold.

07

Direct access to senior consultants

You talk to the people who did the testing, not an account manager.

A repeatable method, inside an authorised scope.

Every activity is carried out within a defined, authorised perimeter set by Rules of Engagement agreed before any testing begins.

Rules of EngagementRules of Engagement: scope, time windows, excluded systems and emergency contacts are fixed in writing before any testing.

Vulnerabilities rarely exist in isolation.

A medium-severity weakness can become critical when combined with other weaknesses. Our assessments focus on complete attack paths, not isolated scanner findings.

An example path. No single weakness reaches the critical asset on its own: it is the chain that makes it reachable.

Reports built for both engineers and decision makers.

The report is a central part of the service, not a final attachment. An executive summary for management and reproducible technical findings for the people fixing it, in the same document.

We test AI applications as real applications.

A distinctive area. Not brochure "AI cybersecurity": security testing of AI applications in production, where the model has access to tools, data and permissions.

The result is a list of findings specific to the application, with impact and concrete hardening, not a list of theoretical AI risks.

NIS2 · DORA · ISO 27001Security testing can provide technical evidence supporting broader risk-management and compliance programmes. We do not promise automatic compliance: we provide the technical evidence to build it on.

A simple process, no surprises.

01

Scoping

Define assets, objectives and rules.

02

Testing

Technical work within the authorised scope.

03

Reporting

Delivery of evidence and remediation.

04

Retest

Verification of the fixed vulnerabilities.

Common questions.

It depends on scope. A single web test usually takes a few days; an infrastructure engagement or a Red Team takes longer. Duration is estimated during scoping, before any quote.
We work to minimise impact and agree the approach in the Rules of Engagement. Where needed, we use staging environments or dedicated time windows. Potentially intrusive activity is always authorised in advance.
We use them to support coverage, not to replace manual testing. The value of the assessment is in what scanners miss: business logic, access control, combined attack paths.
The asset scope, the objectives, operational constraints and contacts. Depending on the engagement we work black box, grey box or white box. Everything is fixed in the Rules of Engagement.
Yes, with appropriate care and written authorisation. We define windows, excluded systems and emergency procedures before starting.
Yes. The report contains concrete remediation guidance and we stay available to clarify findings with technical teams during the fix.
Retesting of fixed vulnerabilities is included or available depending on the engagement. It confirms the fixes actually hold.
Yes. Red Team is objective-driven: it simulates a real adversary with agreed objectives, and includes detection validation and optional Purple Team activity.
Yes. A confidentiality agreement is the norm, not the exception. We sign it before receiving any sensitive information.
Evidence is treated as confidential material: limited access, defined retention and agreed deletion at the end of the engagement. Sensitive communication happens over encrypted channels.

Let's discuss your assessment.

Tell us what you want to protect and what the objective is. We respond with next steps, not a generic price list.

Understand your real exposure before someone else does.

We start with a conversation about scope and objectives. No commitment until the scope is clear.
