OFFENSIVE SECURITY ASSESSMENTS

OFFENSIVE SECURITY ASSESSMENTS

Find out how your security holds up - when real attackers come for you

Secureroot's offensive security assessments go beyond pen testing - simulating real attacker behaviour, testing your defenders (SOC, IR team, employees), and producing board-level evidence of true breach readiness. Red team, purple team, phishing simulation, social engineering, and physical security testing. ISO 27001 certified. CERT-In aligned. Trusted by MoJ Kuwait and India's leading enterprises.

TRUSTED BY ENTERPRISES ACROSS BFSI, FINTECH, HEALTHCARE & GOVERNMENT

PLAIN-LANGUAGE EXPLANATION

PLAIN-LANGUAGE EXPLANATION

Offensive security - what it actually is

Offensive security assessment is the umbrella term for engagements where certified ethical hackers actively simulate real attackers – testing not just your technology (like pen testing does) but also your people, processes, and defenders. Red team operations emulate specific threat actors using their actual tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Phishing simulations test employee security awareness. Social engineering tests test your processes. Purple team exercises train your blue team while testing. Physical security testing tests your physical controls.

Pen testing finds vulnerabilities in scope: ‘here are the technical issues in this application’. Red team operations find paths to specific objectives: ‘here’s how an attacker would steal your customer database, no matter what they had to break to do it’. Pen testing tells you what’s broken; red teaming tells you what an attacker can actually achieve. The two are complementary – most mature security programs run pen tests quarterly and red team exercises annually. If you’ve never been red-teamed, you’ve never been seriously tested.

Offensive security is what mature organisations buy after they’ve mastered pen testing. Indian regulators are catching up – RBI’s Cyber Master Direction now references threat-led penetration testing (TLPT). SEBI CSCRF expects mature security programs. Cyber insurance underwriters increasingly want red team evidence. Board members and audit committees want answers to a simple question: ‘if we were attacked tomorrow, would we know? Would we respond fast enough?’ Offensive security provides that answer with evidence – not just opinion.

SIX OFFENSIVE SERVICES

SIX OFFENSIVE SERVICES

From phishing tests to full red team operations

We scale offensive testing to your security maturity. Start with phishing simulation, grow into purple team exercises, mature into full adversary simulation.

Phishing Simulation

Phishing Simulation

Multi-wave email phishing campaigns testing employee awareness with realistic scenarios, click tracking, credential capture analysis, and security awareness reporting. The entry point for organisations new to offensive testing.

Social Engineering Assessment

Social Engineering Assessment

Vishing (voice phishing), smishing (SMS phishing), pretexting calls, and OSINT-driven impersonation tests. Tests whether your people and processes hold up to targeted human attacks.

Physical Security Testing

Physical Security Testing

Authorized attempts to gain physical access to your offices, data centers, or facilities – testing tailgating, badge cloning, lock bypass, and physical social engineering. Includes branch banking, retail, and critical facilities.

Red Team Operations

Red Team Operations

Full adversary simulation with stealth, persistence, and specific objectives (steal database, achieve domain admin, breach segregated network). Uses MITRE ATT&CK TTPs. Tests SOC detection and IR response.

Purple Team Exercises

Purple Team Exercises

Collaborative red+blue team engagement. Red team executes attacks, blue team observes and responds in real-time, with controlled scenarios that improve detection while testing. Knowledge transfer at every step.

Assumed Breach Assessment

Assumed Breach Assessment

We start with simulated initial access (compromised endpoint, leaked credentials) and test post-breach detection, containment, and response. Tests what happens AFTER perimeter defenses fail – which is when most damage occurs.

We work with companies that take cybersecurity seriously - from 20-person startups to 2,000-person enterprises - across BFSI, fintech, healthcare, government, and SaaS.

ATTACK VECTOR COVERAGE

ATTACK VECTOR COVERAGE

Attack vectors we use in offensive engagements

Click any vector to expand. We use the same techniques real attackers use – mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and emulating threat actors that target your industry.

Targeted phishing campaigns against specific employees with role-relevant pretexts (vendor invoices for finance team, executive impersonation for assistants, IT-helpdesk pretexts for general staff). We test malicious attachment detonation, credential harvesting via lookalike portals, OAuth abuse, and post-phishing access. We measure not just click rates but post-click behaviour - credential entry, MFA bypass attempts, and security team reporting times.
