Red Team — penetration testing

Know what an attacker would find before they come looking.

Penetration testing and continuous vulnerability management, delivered as a service: everything on your network discovered, the weaknesses that are genuinely exploitable safely proven, and a short, ranked list your team can close — not a 400-item scan nobody can act on.

Why test

The question isn’t whether you have exposures. It’s whether you find them first.

Small businesses hold exactly what attackers want and defend it with a fraction of an enterprise’s staff. Automated tools produce long lists; what you actually need is a short, ranked, verified list of what a real attacker could use, and a plan to close it.

Insurers increasingly ask for evidence of testing at renewal, and HIPAA, PCI DSS and CMMC all expect you to test and fix your environment, not just document it.

The engagement

Offensive testing, delivered as a service.

  2. 2

    Discover

    A full inventory of live hosts, services and platforms.

  3. 3

    Assess

    Internal and external testing, with and without credentials.

  4. 4

    Validate

    Safe confirmation of what’s genuinely exploitable.

  5. 5

    Report

    An executive summary plus full technical detail.

  6. 6

    Remediate

    Fixes tracked to closure and re-tested to prove they’re gone.

What gets tested

What’s tested, and how it’s prioritised

With and without credentials

What’s exposed publicly, and what a compromised account could reach.

Web applications

Websites, portals and internal applications assessed for common and critical weaknesses.

Configuration & hardening

Weak settings, legacy protocols, default passwords and unnecessary exposure found.

Credential strength

Password and authentication weaknesses surfaced before someone else finds them.

Live threat intelligence

Findings enriched against current vulnerability intelligence, with actively exploited and ransomware-linked flaws pushed to the top.

Severity & risk scoring

Industry-standard severity plus a business-level risk score you can track over time.

Safety and setup

Nothing to buy. Nothing to open on your firewall.

Every engagement starts with written authorisation and a defined scope. Excluded systems are honoured, testing is scheduled around your hours, destructive and denial-of-service techniques are never used, and every action is logged for you to review.

Internal testing runs from a lightweight appliance on infrastructure you already have. It connects out over an encrypted tunnel, so there’s no inbound access, no port to open and no hardware to purchase.

Ways to run it

Once, on a schedule, or all the time

Point‑in‑time

A single comprehensive assessment with a full report — for an insurance renewal, an audit, or a baseline.

Recurring

Scheduled reassessments through the year, so fixes are verified and new exposure is caught as things change.

Continuous

Always-on assessment with ongoing tracking — the strongest posture and the clearest evidence of due diligence.

Questions

Common questions

Something else? Call or text (423) 292-1922.

Will testing disrupt our systems?

No. Safe checks are the default, destructive and denial-of-service techniques are never used, and testing is scheduled around your operating hours.

Do you need to come on site?

No. Internal testing runs from the appliance and external testing from outside, so it works for businesses anywhere in the US.

How is it priced?

A fixed price for a defined scope, quoted in writing before any testing starts.

How is this different from red teaming?

A penetration test finds and validates weaknesses across your systems. A red team engagement chains them together to show how far an attacker would actually get. Most businesses start with a penetration test.
