With our Red Teaming Assessments, you go beyond traditional penetration tests to holistically strengthen the security of your IT infrastructure and proactively prevent potential attacks.

How a Red Team Pentest Works – Stay Secure with TÜV TRUST IT

A Red Team Assessment follows a clear but flexibly adaptable process. In the Reconnaissance Phase, we first gather all relevant information about your company—from organizational structure and IT systems to IP addresses and publicly available employee data. Based on this, we develop targeted attack scenarios in the Weaponization Phase, such as crafted documents or phishing campaigns.

In the Delivery Phase, we introduce the attack vectors into your infrastructure in a controlled manner (e.g., emails, manipulated websites). If access is successful, we exploit existing vulnerabilities in the Exploitation Phase, establish persistent access in the Installation Phase if needed, and simulate communication with our control systems in the Command & Control Phase. In the final Actions-on-Objective Phase, we pursue defined goals, such as extracting sensitive data or spreading within the infrastructure.

Throughout the entire assessment, we operate discreetly to maintain realism—only a very small, informed group within your organization is aware of the test. After completion, you receive a detailed report that transparently outlines the approach and identified vulnerabilities, along with practical, actionable recommendations to strengthen your defenses.
