Our cyber services are not only geared to testing defences but to assessing organisational resilience to an attack - just how ready are you to respond quickly and decisively?

Tick icon

Our Assumed Breach service is designed to gauge and enhance your state of readiness through a challenging practice exercise built around breached defences.

In an assumed breach assessment, we simulate an attacker who has already gained access to your internal network. This service helps identify internal vulnerabilities and improve your ability to detect and respond to threats.

How we work

01. Initial Assessment

We begin by understanding your current security posture and identifying critical systems and data within your network.

02. Simulated Breach

We simulate a breach by assuming that an attacker has already gained access to your internal network. This includes identifying potential entry points and lateral movement paths within your network.

03. Vulnerability Assessment

We assess your internal systems for vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker. This includes scanning for misconfigurations, outdated software, and insecure access controls.

04. Privilege Escalation

We attempt to escalate privileges within your network to gain access to sensitive data and critical systems. This helps us understand the potential impact of an attack and identify areas for improvement.

05. Lateral Movement

We simulate lateral movement within your network to identify how an attacker could move between systems and access additional resources.

06. Detection and Response

We assess your organisation’s ability to detect and respond to the simulated breach. This includes evaluating your monitoring tools, incident response procedures, and staff awareness.

07. Reporting

We provide a comprehensive report detailing our findings, including vulnerabilities, potential impact, and recommendations for remediation.

08. Debriefing

We conduct a debriefing session with your team to discuss our findings and provide guidance on improving your security measures and incident response capabilities.
