Red Team Assessment
DarkCode’s Red Teaming services go beyond traditional penetration testing by employing a holistic approach to assess your organization’s security posture through realistic, multi-faceted attack simulations.
HOLISTIC APPROACH
Our Assessment Covers
Technology
Identifies vulnerabilities in specific systems and applications by simulating targeted attacks, such as exploiting software flaws or misconfigurations
Process
Evaluates incident response procedures by simulating attacks to assess detection, escalation, and recovery processes, ensuring they are effective and efficient
People
Assesses employee responses to social engineering attacks, such as phishing and pretexting, to identify weaknesses in security awareness and training
Red Team Goals
Identifying Vulnerabilities
As DarkCode, our objective is to identify all potential vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to access critical business assets. Additionally, we assess the organization’s ability to respond promptly to such attacks.
Beyond Conventional Testing
The Red Team exercise extends beyond traditional penetration testing by not only examining the attack surface but also evaluating the readiness of the organization’s internal defenses.
Offensive Security Techniques
Our approach involves employing offensive security techniques that replicate the mindset of hackers in the wild. These techniques complement defensive security measures (Blue Team) and help ensure that the implemented defenses are both effective and reliable.
Comprehensive Scope
The red teaming process encompasses a broader scope, often with virtually limitless possibilities for assessment and improvement.
METHODOLOGY

OUR DELIVERABLES
What will you get?
All findings will be documented in a final report, which will be evaluated against a strengths and weaknesses profile aligned with international IT and Cyber Security standards. Identified weaknesses will be assessed and accompanied by prioritized recommendations and remediation actions based on associated risks.
The final report will be presented to you, featuring a comprehensive C-level summary of the security audit or penetration test conducted. Additionally, it will include detailed results, supporting evidence, and recommendations for future security enhancements.

FAQ
What is different between Red Teaming and Penetration Testing?
Red Teaming involves a comprehensive, adversarial simulation of real-world attacks, assessing an organization’s security posture through tactics, techniques, and procedures that mimic actual threat actors. In contrast, penetration testing focuses primarily on identifying and exploiting specific vulnerabilities.
Hence, Red Teaming provides a broader strategic perspective and continuous assessment than Penetration Testing does.
How much does a red teaming cost?
It depends on the scale of the scope. A red teaming assessment usually takes a month to complete. Most of the red teaming we perform fall within the range of HKD$200,000-$500,000. Reach out for your quote today!
When can you start the assessment?
We have to confirm the scope, your expectations and concerns before kickstarting the assessment. Once everything is solved, we can start immediately upon approval of our proposal.
Can you perform a test for my ISO 27001/PCI DSS audit?
Yes, our testing protocols surpass the guidelines recommended by the PCI Standards Council and ISO/IEC.
Do you guarantee my assets are completely secure after the assessment?
Arguably nothing can guarantee 100% security. However, red teaming forms an integral part of a comprehensive security strategy and make your assets much much harder for hackers.
What is the expected outcome of a red teaming?
We uncover the unknown unknowns in your cyber assets! This is typically in the form of a detailed report that contains discovered vulnerabilities, their potential risks, and remediation recommendations.
We also include a comprehensive C-level summary so that you may present the results to your boss much more readily 🙂
