Red Team Services Manawaru
Full-scope attack simulation - testing people, processes and technology together the way a determined adversary would.
A penetration test finds weaknesses. A red team engagement tests whether your whole defence actually works under attack - people, processes and technology combined, the way a determined adversary would operate.
Red team engagements simulate realistic attack paths: initial access through phishing or exposed services, lateral movement, privilege escalation and data exfiltration - while your monitoring and response teams are (or are not) detecting us. The result is a brutal but honest picture of what would survive a real incident, plus a roadmap to close the gaps.
What we help with
- Security controls that fail when combined, not individually
- Monitoring that does not actually detect real attack activity
- Incident response processes that break under pressure
- Phishing resistance that looks fine in theory
- Lateral movement possible inside your network
- Overconfidence in security investments with no proof
- No rehearsal of what a real breach would look like
What's included

- Realistic initial access - phishing, exposed services and credentials
- Lateral movement and privilege escalation within agreed boundaries
- Detection and response testing - we measure what your team catches
- Full written authorisation and strict rules of engagement
- A detailed report with evidence for every step

Who it's for
Security-mature organisations - medium to large enterprises, government, healthcare and regulated sectors - that need to prove their defences work under realistic attack, not just on paper.
Questions about Red Team Services Manawaru
A penetration test checks specific systems for exploitable weaknesses. A red team engagement tests your entire defence - people, processes and technology - by simulating realistic attack scenarios over a longer period, including whether your monitoring detects us.
It is controlled risk. We operate under written authorisation and strict rules of engagement, avoid disruption to production, and can run at times you specify. The uncontrolled risk is the one you never test.
Organisations with mature security programs that want to validate them - typically medium to large enterprises, government agencies, healthcare and regulated industries.
Usually two to four weeks of active testing depending on scope, followed by reporting and a remediation roadmap. We agree the timeline during scoping.
