Why it matters

The engagements that don't come in a box.

Standard penetration testing covers the work most organisations need — but security rarely stops there. A red team that tests detection and response, a second opinion on an architecture decision, a source-code review, help preparing for an audit, or an experienced specialist embedded for a project: these don't fit a template. Professional Services exists for exactly these situations, and the calibre of who does the work never changes.

Senior only
Every engagement led by an OSCE- and OSCP-certified specialist — no junior bench, ever.
Flexible
A fixed-scope project, a recurring program, or capability on tap — shaped around you.
How we can help

Senior expertise, beyond the standard test.

The engagements organisations most often need from us when a boxed penetration test isn't the whole answer — each led by the senior specialist who does the work.

  • Red Team Engagements

    Goal-oriented, real-world attack simulations that test your technology and your detection and response — how far could a determined attacker get?

  • Purple Team Exercises

    Working alongside your defenders to sharpen detection and response in real time, turning offensive findings into defensive gains.

  • Security Advisory

    Pragmatic, senior guidance on architecture, threat modelling, security strategy and where to focus limited resources.

  • Source-Code Review

    Manual review of your application's source to find flaws that black-box testing alone can miss.

  • Social Engineering

    Phishing and human-focused testing that measures real-world exposure, integrated with technical scenarios where it adds value.

  • Compliance & Audit

    Testing and evidence aligned to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, APRA CPS 234 and similar frameworks.

  • Remediation & Retest

    Hands-on help interpreting findings, prioritising fixes and confirming risk is genuinely closed.

  • Specialist & Bespoke

    If your requirement doesn't fit a template, that's exactly what this service is for.

Common questions

What teams ask before a professional-services engagement.

What are professional services, versus a standard penetration test?

Our penetration tests cover the boxed work most organisations need. Professional Services is for everything around that — red teaming, advisory, source-code review, social engineering, audit support and bespoke work — shaped to your requirements rather than a fixed template.

How can we engage you — project, program or ongoing?

However suits you. A single fixed-scope project, a recurring program that flexes with your release and compliance cycles, or senior capability available day-by-day as an extension of your team. If your need doesn't fit the usual mould, that's a conversation we welcome.

Who actually does the work?

A senior, OSCE- and OSCP-certified specialist with decades of hands-on experience — no junior bench and no hand-off after the sales meeting. For advisory and red teaming, that experience is the entire value.

What's the difference between a red team and a penetration test?

A penetration test finds and proves vulnerabilities in a defined scope. A red team is a goal-oriented, real-world attack simulation that also tests whether your people and tooling detect and respond — how far a determined attacker could actually get.

Which industries do you work with?

Organisations across banking, finance, government, defence, health and education — from one-off specialist engagements to ongoing, embedded support, tailored to your environment and goals.
