Red Team Security Assessment

Service Overview

The Red Team Security Assessment simulates realistic adversary activity to evaluate an organisation’s ability to detect, respond to, and contain advanced, targeted attacks.

The objective of this assessment is to provide insight into how effectively security controls, processes, and people perform against coordinated, goal-driven attack scenarios designed to emulate real-world threat actors.

Scope & Focus

The assessment may include, but is not limited to, the evaluation of:

• Attack path discovery and exploitation
• Detection and response capabilities
• Security monitoring and alerting effectiveness
• Incident handling and escalation processes
• Lateral movement and persistence opportunities
• Impact assessment against defined objectives
• Coordination between technical controls and operational processes
• Alignment with recognised adversary simulation best practice

The specific scope is defined during formal engagement scoping and confirmed prior to commencement.

Engagement & Delivery

The Red Team Security Assessment is delivered under formal scoping and explicit authorisation and is managed through the Nanorisk Security Portal.

The assessment combines:

• adversary-style testing techniques
• controlled, goal-oriented attack simulation

All activities are conducted in accordance with agreed rules of engagement and designed to assess organisational resilience rather than isolated vulnerabilities.

Outputs & Reporting

Clients receive:

• A Red Team Security Assessment report
• Observations on detection, response, and containment effectiveness
• Practical recommendations to improve resilience against advanced threats
• Secure access to findings and engagement artefacts via the Nanorisk Security Portal

Findings support strategic improvements in security posture and incident readiness.

Important Notes

• This assessment focuses on real-world attack simulation rather than comprehensive vulnerability discovery
• Findings reflect a point-in-time view of organisational resilience
• The assessment does not guarantee identification of all potential attack paths or defensive gaps

Scope & Focus

The assessment may include, but is not limited to, the evaluation of:

• Initial access prevention controls
• Lateral movement and privilege escalation pathways
• Detection and alerting effectiveness
• Backup, recovery, and business continuity arrangements
• Incident response and crisis management processes
• Segmentation and containment capabilities
• Alignment with recognised ransomware resilience best practice

The specific scope is defined during formal engagement scoping and confirmed prior to commencement.

Engagement & Delivery

The Ransomware Simulation Security Assessment is delivered under formal scoping and explicit authorisation and is managed through the Nanorisk Security Portal.

The assessment combines:

• controlled simulation of ransomware techniques
• validation of detection and response processes

All activities are conducted in accordance with agreed rules of engagement and designed to minimise operational risk and disruption.

Outputs & Reporting

Clients receive:

• A Ransomware Simulation Security Assessment report
• Observations on preparedness, detection, and response effectiveness
• Practical recommendations to improve resilience against ransomware threats
• Secure access to findings and engagement artefacts via the Nanorisk Security Portal
