Red Teaming Solutions

Organisations across commercial, government, and critical national infrastructure (CNI) sectors face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Traditional testing is essential, but true resilience depends on how effectively your organisation can detect, respond, and recover from a real adversary.

Intertek’s Red Teaming service provides a controlled, intelligence-driven simulation of real-world cyber attacks, giving a complete assessment of your organisation’s security posture and readiness.

Realistic Adversary Simulation

Intertek emulates the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of genuine threat actors. Our experts conduct OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) to identify publicly available information that could be leveraged. This intelligence drives targeted phishing and vishing campaigns, leading to covert intrusion—through external compromise, assumed breach scenarios, or insider-threat pathways—followed by lateral movement and data exfiltration.

The engagement mirrors the full adversary kill chain, showing how an attacker would plan, progress, and operate within your environment.

Common techniques tested include:

• Reconnaissance and OSINT collection
• Phishing and vishing campaigns
• Compromise, escalation, and persistence
• Lateral movement and data exfiltration

Test Your Detection and Response

Only a small group of senior stakeholders are made aware of a Red Team engagement, ensuring your SOC, blue team, and wider IT functions respond authentically.

Intertek evaluates your organisation’s ability to:

• Detect malicious activity and anomalies
• Escalate incidents through proper channels
• Coordinate rapid and effective response
• Contain and recover from attacker activity

Tailored Threat-Led Scenarios

Intertek offers Red Teaming in two formats:

• Consultative – collaboratively shaping scenarios based on threat intelligence and organisational risk
• Black-box – fully covert assessment with zero prior knowledge for the most realistic testing

Evidence-Based Reporting

Our reporting provides actionable insights, documenting every Red Team action and mapping activity directly to MITRE ATT&CK. This highlights detection gaps, defensive blind spots, and priority areas for improvement across the kill chain.

Strengthening Organisational Resilience

Intertek’s Red Teaming equips organisations with the insight needed to strengthen defences, improve incident response capability, and build confidence that they are prepared for real cyber attacks.
