Q: What is the difference between Red Team and penetration testing?

Penetration testing finds as many vulnerabilities as possible within a defined scope. A Red Team engagement is goal-based and stealthy, simulating a real adversary to test detection and response.

Find and fix critical vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them. Secterious delivers manual, intelligence-led penetration testing for web applications, infrastructure, mobile, APIs and cloud — with board-ready reporting trusted by banks, insurers and financial institutions.

Overview

Real attacks, simulated safely

Automated scanners only find what they are told to look for. Our certified offensive security experts think like real adversaries — chaining vulnerabilities across your systems to reach the assets that matter. The result is a clear, prioritized picture of the risks that could actually lead to a breach, and exactly how to close them.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a penetration test?

A penetration test is an authorized, simulated cyber attack performed by security experts to identify and safely exploit vulnerabilities in your applications, networks or cloud — demonstrating real business risk and how to fix it before a real attacker finds it.

What is the difference between a penetration test and a vulnerability scan?

A vulnerability scan is automated and lists potential issues. A penetration test is performed manually by experts who validate, exploit and chain vulnerabilities to prove genuine impact, dramatically reducing false positives and revealing risks scanners miss.

How long does a penetration test take?

Most engagements run from a few days to a few weeks, depending on scope and complexity. We agree on a precise timeline during scoping so you know exactly what to expect.

How much does a penetration test cost?

Cost depends on scope, environment size and the type of testing required. We build a tailored proposal for each client — request a free consultation and we will scope it with you.

What standards and frameworks do you follow?

Our testing aligns with OWASP, PTES, NIST SP 800-115, OSSTMM and the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and supports compliance needs such as ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2 and GDPR.

What is the difference between Red Team and penetration testing?

Penetration testing aims to find as many vulnerabilities as possible within a defined scope. A Red Team engagement is goal-based and stealthy, simulating a real adversary to test how well your people, processes and technology detect and respond to an attack.

How often should we run a penetration test?

At minimum annually, and after any major change to your applications or infrastructure. Regulated organizations and those handling sensitive data often test more frequently.
