Penetration Testing and Red Teaming

We perform human-led penetration tests and adversary emulation (red team) engagements that find exploitable attack paths, validate controls, and drive prioritized remediation. Our work is goal-oriented, scoped to your risk profile, and delivered with executive-grade reporting and tactical remediation playbooks.


Services

Penetration Testing (Human-led)
  • External network penetration testing (edge, internet-facing apps and services).
  • Internal network penetration testing (lateral movement, privilege escalation).
  • Web application and API penetration testing (business logic, auth, injection, session management).
  • Mobile application testing (iOS, Android, API backends).
  • Cloud infrastructure testing (IAM misconfigurations, insecure storage, misrouted services).
  • OT/ICS and SCADA assessments (where safe, scoped, and agreed). Deliverables: executive summary, technical remediation report (findings, risk rating, exact remediation steps), retest validation.
Red Teaming & Adversary Emulation
  • Full-scope adversary emulation mapped to known threat actor TTPs using ATT&CK-based scenarios.
  • Social engineering and phishing campaigns (scoped, authorized, documented).
  • Physical security testing (where contracted and legal).
  • Persistence and exfiltration simulations to test detection and response. Purpose: validate people, process, and technology under realistic attacker timelines and objectives.
Purple Teaming and Detection Validation
  • Joint engagements to tune detections, runbooks, and playbooks while running controlled offensive actions.
  • Validate EDR/SIEM alerting, SOC workflows, and incident escalation.

Methodology (what we do and why)
  • Scoping & Rules of Engagement — define objectives, permitted techniques, out-of-scope assets, timelines, and success criteria.
  • Reconnaissance & Threat Modeling — active and passive discovery to build realistic attack paths.
  • Vulnerability Analysis & Exploitation — validate real exploitability; prioritize by business impact not just CVSS.
  • Post-Exploitation & Lateral Movement — demonstrate potential impact (data access, persistence, privileged access), limited to agreed objectives.
  • Reporting & Remediation Validation — deliver concise executive findings, detailed technical remediation, and optional retest to confirm fixes.

Deliverables — exact, usable outputs
  • Executive Summary: board/leadership-ready risk snapshot, composite risk score, top 3 business-critical findings.
  • Technical Remediation Report: reproducible findings, PoC notes (where allowed), remediation steps, references.
  • Detection & Response Gap Report: alert tuning recommendations, SOC playbook updates, prioritized detection engineering tasks.
  • Retest & Validation: confirm remediation, close the loop.

Compliance & Framework Alignment
  • Tests designed to support PCI, HIPAA, NIST, ISO, and common insurance underwriting requirements.
  • We map findings to NIST SP 800-115 testing guidance and MITRE ATT&CK for red-team validation, enabling consistent evidence for auditors and insurers.

Why eSureITy — human-driven, not “AI-only”
  • All assessments are led by experienced human testers; automation and tooling augment crafted human expertise. We do not deliver “AI penetration testing” as a substitute for human judgement. Findings include clear, prioritized remediation that your engineering teams can execute immediately.

Typical Engagements & Timelines
  • Focused web app test: 2–3 weeks (scoping → test → report).
  • External/internal network pentest: 2–4 weeks depending on complexity.
  • Red team (full-scope): 4–12+ weeks (planning, phased ops, debrief).
  • Purple team / detection validation: 2–6 weeks (iterative). Exact timelines are set during scoping to match business windows and compliance deadlines.

Pricing model (structure)
  • Fixed-scope engagements for defined asset sets.
  • Risk-based scoping with phased deliverables for large estates.
  • Subscription/recurring testing options for continuous assurance (monthly, quarterly). Final cost depends on scope, environment complexity, and rules-of-engagement.

Critical rules we follow
  • Written Rules of Engagement and Authorization required before any active test
  • Business-impact safeguards for OT/ICS and production systems — safe testing only after sign-off.
  • Evidence retention and chain-of-custody practices to support audits and insurance requirements.
