Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from a penetration test?
- A pen test finds and proves vulnerabilities; a red team pursues a defined objective to test whether your people, process, and detection actually hold.
- Is it safe for production?
- Engagements run under tightly scoped rules of engagement with agreed escalation; the goal is insight, not disruption.
- Do you support TIBER-EU / CBEST / DORA TLPT?
- Yes — we align engagements to these frameworks where they apply.
If a board or supervisor has asked for threat-led testing, start with a scoping call — we’ll define the objective and the rules of engagement together.
