Are you ready to combat evolving cyber threats?

In an era of sophisticated cyber threats, our offensive security services measure, improve and help build your defence. Our Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) aligns with frameworks like TIBER and DORA, simulating advanced adversaries to assess and enhance your cyber resilience. Purple Team engagements integrate Red and Blue Team tactics, fostering continuous improvement and a unified security approach. Our application security expertises ensures robust security throughout the software development lifecycle, identifies and mitigates vulnerabilities at every link through comprehensive assessments to ensure stringent security standards. Together, these services offer a holistic approach to evaluating and continuously improving your organisation's defence against evolving cyber threats.

Threat-Led Penetration Test (TLPT): TIBER, DORA, Red Team

Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) emulates advanced adversaries to assess your organisation's cyber resilience. Our TLPT services align with frameworks like TIBER and DORA, ensuring regulatory compliance and delivering actionable insights. Red Team exercises simulate real-world attacks to test your protective measures, as well as your Security Operations Center (SOC). By leveraging threat intelligence and detailed attack scenarios, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of your security posture, helping you identify vulnerabilities, improve incident response, and strengthen defence against sophisticated threats. Of course, we can also execute more limited vulnerability assessments and penetration tests that focus on more limited scopes.

Purple Team: bridging the gap between Red and Blue Teams

Purple Team engagements bridge Red Team (offensive) and Blue Team (defensive) efforts, fostering continuous improvement and shared learning. By integrating offensive tactics with defensive strategies, these exercises enhance your overall security posture. Our Purple Team services enable real-time knowledge transfer, improving detection capabilities and refining incident response. This collaborative approach ensures both teams work together to identify gaps, test mitigation strategies, and strengthen your organisation's defence against evolving cyber threats.

Software product evaluation

Evaluating an application or system (IT/IOT/OT) as a software product provides a facts-based deeper understanding of its qualities and limitations regarding security, reliability, maintainability, performance and others. The scope of such evaluations can vary significantly, from analysing source code (incl. 3rd party libraries) to examine entire architectures, data models and run-time tests (for a.o. performance, reliability, security). These evaluations are generally performed against recognised international standards of quality, such as ISO 25010, OWASP and ISO 5055. We can perform light-weight or in-depth evaluations, depending on your needs. Whether you are looking for a conformity check, are worried about the reliability of your key software business solution, or are in the context of a merger/acquisition, we can perform the software product evaluation and provide you with the right information to perform decision-making and strategic planning while adhering to regulatory requirements.

Secure software factory

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, modern software development cycles continue to shrink, making it increasingly challenging for security measures to keep pace, even more so at scale. On top of this, different regulations, such as the EU Cybersecurity Act, mandate robust security measures throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Our secure software facture services help you to assess, develop and run practices that embed modern security into every stage of development, without impacting its pace. This can be offered in strategic, tactical or operational approaches, where we can run an SDLC program, improve specific capabilities (e.g., threat modelling, software testing, vulnerability management, etc.), or take the role of a security champion on one (or more) of you critical development projects. Our services are typically built around the OWASP SAMM model, but we can leverage other approaches if desired.

Software supply chain

Software supply chains are growing in length and complexity posing enormous security challenges to organisations that are increasingly exposed to vulnerabilities at any point in that chain. As high profile supply chain attacks demonstrate, organisations are as secure as the weakest link in their supply chain and it is not enough just to secure their own software.

Spurred partly by legislative requirements in the US and Europe, the software supply chain landscape has evolved in recent years and become significantly more complex to navigate, for software suppliers and consumers alike. Understanding this evolving landscape, the standards and technologies which underpin it, as well as their limitations, is key to managing modern software supply chain risks in order to secure any modern software. We can help you navigate this complex problem from a strategic and technical perspective (for instance, by working on supplier screening, or automating SBOM generation and management).
