About
Offensive Security

How HexaPrime help you with Offensive Security!

Offensive Security brings together the full range of adversarial testing under one governed service. Depending on your objectives we deliver external and internal penetration testing, web, mobile and API application penetration testing, wireless testing, cloud and identity attack path testing, social engineering and phishing simulations, and full-scope red team operations against agreed objectives. Engagements follow recognised methodologies (OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK) and are executed by certified consultants under strict authorisation, safety and confidentiality controls. Beyond the findings, we assess whether your defences and SOC detected and responded to our activity, giving you a combined view of prevention, detection and response maturity.

Key

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a penetration test and a red team engagement?

A penetration test finds and proves as many exploitable weaknesses as possible in a defined scope. A red team engagement pursues a specific objective, such as reaching a critical system or exfiltrating sensitive data.

Could testing damage our production environment?

Safety is designed in. Destructive techniques are excluded unless explicitly authorised in a controlled environment, activity windows are agreed, and a kill-switch procedure with a 24x7 escalation contact is in place throughout.

Should our SOC know the test is happening?

That is your choice. Typically penetration tests are announced tests, while red teaming is generally unannounced. Announced tests are efficient for finding weaknesses; unannounced tests give a truer measure of detection and response.

How often should we run offensive testing?

At least annually, and additionally after major architectural changes, new application releases, mergers or migrations. Internet-facing applications typically warrant more frequent testing.

How is confidentiality protected?

Consultants are background-checked and under NDA, evidence is stored encrypted within the agreed jurisdiction, access is restricted to the engagement team, and all data is securely destroyed after the retention period.

Do you retest after we fix the issues?

Yes. A verification retest of exploited findings is included within the agreed post-engagement window, and an updated report is issued.

What is the difference between BAS and purple teaming?

BAS provides scale and repeatability, automatically running large volumes of attack simulations against security controls to measure which are prevented, detected or missed, then repeating those tests as controls change.
