Red Teaming is a full-scope cyber attack simulation designed to test how well your organisation would withstand a determined attacker. Maple’s Red Teaming exercises emulate genuine attacker behaviour across the full intrusion lifecycle, from initial access through to lateral movement, persistence and impact.
Rather than identifying isolated vulnerabilities, Red Teaming provides clear evidence of how attackers could move through your environment, where controls would break down, and whether your teams would detect and respond effectively.
In practice, Red Teaming answers the questions that matter to security and business leaders:
Could an attacker reach our most critical systems or data?
Would the attack be detected early enough to contain it?
How effective are our incident response processes under pressure?
What would the operational or financial impact be?
To ensure realistic outcomes, exercises are conducted covertly to reflect the uncertainty of a real incident, producing results that represent genuine defensive capability rather than prepared responses.
Because real attacks do not follow test scripts
Collaborative and Tailored
Maple takes a partnership approach. Every engagement begins with a scenario creation workshop, where Maple consultants work with key stakeholders to:
This ensures that every Red Team engagement reflects your environment, your risks, and your goals
Independent testing, delivered with purpose
Maple’s consultants hold industry-leading offensive and defensive certifications (e.g., CREST).
We map findings to MITRE ATT&CK for clarity and repeatability
Experience across public sector, government, finance, critical infrastructure, healthcare, and technology sectors.
With our innovative PTaaS platform and 24/7 SOC visibility of real attacks (e.g. via our honeypots), we’re seeing new attack paths frequently that we us to continuously evolve our methodologies and tooling to mirror real-world threats,
We prioritise long-term improvement over one-off testing we support remediation, validation, and capability development, fed by our 24/7 SOC service.
Maple’s reporting translates technical findings into business impact, helping executives allocate resources where they matter most.
High-Level Engagement Models:
A fully covert, external simulation without prior knowledge of your systems. Tests real-world exposure and external resilience.
Best suited for:
Mature organisations with established security monitoring.
A controlled, goal-orientated simulation based on defined attack scenarios.
Best suited for:
Organisations ready to test specific business processes or assets.
Starts with the premise that an attacker already has limited access. Focuses on internal movemen, escalation, and detection.
Best suited for:
Teams wanting to measure internal detection and containment capability.
Simulation based on current, sector-specific threat intelligence (aligned to DORA, TBER-EU and other frameworks).
Discuss your organisation, your risks and whether Red Teaming is the right approach with one of our specialists.
