Purple Team engagements allow for a truly holistic approach to improving your organisation’s security posture – and are a powerful and persuasive part of our scenario-driven testing portfolio.

Projects combine the offensive tactics of a CCL Red Team with the defensive strategies of a client’s Blue Team, a collaborative approach that can unlock comprehensive security improvements and enhance your incident response capabilities.

By bridging the gap between offence and defence, Purple Teaming creates a more rounded understanding of cyber risk in all its dimensions. A detailed debrief will take you through the findings and recommendations, helping strengthen your security posture overall and your incident readiness.

How we work

01. Scoping

We start by defining the scope of the engagement, including the systems and networks to be tested, and any specific focus areas or concerns.

02. Reconnaissance

Our Red Team gathers information about your organisation using both passive and active techniques, while the Blue Team monitors and analyses the activity.

03. Initial Access

The Red Team attempts to gain initial access to your systems using a variety of techniques, while the Blue Team observes and prepares to respond.

04. Exploitation

The Red Team uses advanced techniques to escalate privileges and move laterally within your network, while the Blue Team monitors the activity and works on detection and response strategies.

05. Collaboration

The Red and Blue Teams collaborate to share insights and improve your defences. This includes identifying gaps in your security measures and implementing improvements.

06. Post-Exploitation

The Red Team assesses the potential impact of the attack, while the Blue Team focuses on incident response and recovery.

07. Reporting

We provide a comprehensive report detailing our findings, including vulnerabilities, attack techniques used, 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.
