Expert red teaming to expose real risk

How would your systems hold up to real attacker? Red teaming simulates this and how an attacker would try to breach your organisation.

A true test of resilience

Unfiltered & accurate response

Bastion red teaming reveals how far an attacker could get. Few people in your team know it’s happening to ensure the response is unfiltered and accurate.

Frequently asked questions

From risk assessment to rapid response - we’re with you every step of the way.

What is red teaming?

Red teaming is a full-scope simulated attack that tests your organisation’s cyber, physical and human defences. Unlike traditional penetration testing, it assesses how an attacker could breach your systems without being detected, providing a true picture of your resilience.

How is red teaming different from penetration testing?

While penetration testing focuses on identifying technical vulnerabilities, red teaming simulates a real-world attack to test your entire security posture - including physical security, social engineering and your organisation’s response capabilities.

What does a red team engagement typically involve?

A Bastion red team test includes defining your objectives, simulating an attack using techniques like phishing or physical access attempts, and analysing how far we can get before being detected. We then deliver a report showing where your defences held up - and where they didn’t.

Will we know when the red team test is happening?

Red teaming is designed to be realistic. While key stakeholders are informed, most staff remain unaware to ensure the test reflects a real attack. This allows us to evaluate how your team responds under genuine pressure.

What are the benefits of red teaming?

Red teaming reveals real-world weaknesses that automated tools or scheduled audits often miss. It strengthens your detection and response, uncovers gaps in staff awareness, and gives you confidence that your security measures work when it matters most.
