Red Teaming Assessment
Red Teaming Assessment
Cyberattacks are becoming more professional, more targeted, and harder to detect. The red teaming assessment by A1 Digital tests your technical and organizational security measures as one integrated system and identifies where attackers could break into your IT systems.
Red Teaming service by A1 Digital
Cybercriminals are utilizing more professional attack methods, and the threats to your business continuity keep mounting. The red teaming service by A1 Digital shows you how well your teams, your processes, and your technology hold up against a real attack. Our expert team takes on the role of the attacker: as the “red team”, we simulate real-world threat scenarios as authentically as possible and uncover weaknesses across your entire security architecture.
Why choose the Red Teaming service by A1 Digital?
Realistic attack simulation

How the Red Teaming assessment by A1 Digital works
1
Needs assessment
We work closely with your IT experts to identify which attack paths and targets in your systems and networks would be most attractive to potential attackers. This initial risk inventory forms the basis for everything that follows.
2
Scoping and alignment
Together, we agree on which attack scenarios to run, what the assessment should achieve, and which parts of your company are strictly off-limits. These boundaries are set as binding red lines. To keep everything running smoothly, both sides name dedicated points of contact who remain available throughout the exercise.
3
Execution
Our red team consists of authorized security experts who first look at your company the way real hackers would, using publicly available information. We then probe your technical defenses, organizational processes, and physical security measures. Your internal security team, the blue team, operates under real-world conditions throughout. Ideally, your employees detect our simulated attack early. If we do gain critical access privileges during the exercise, we’ll walk you through exactly what needs to improve.
4
Results and debrief
Once the simulation is complete, you receive a detailed report listing every vulnerability we identified, along with concrete, prioritized recommendations. In a joint debrief with your blue team, we discuss which defenses worked during the exercise and where targeted improvements will reduce your risk.
What a Red Teaming assessment from A1 Digital offers
Realistic attacker's perspective
Before the actual attack begins, we analyze your company using publicly available information, just as a real attacker would.
Scope of the test up to the extension of rights
We'll show you how far an attacker could penetrate your systems and what critical access privileges they could gain in the process.
Verifiable Documentation
The results report is structured so that you can use it directly as evidence of regular security reviews under NIS2 or DORA.
Frequently asked questions about Red Teaming assessments
Red teaming is a simulated, authorized cyberattack that a cybersecurity provider carries out against a company. The attack puts the interplay of people, processes, and IT systems to the test and shows decision-makers where improvements are needed.
A penetration test aims to identify vulnerabilities in individual systems or network segments. A red teaming assessment paints a broader picture and examines whether a company’s various security measures actually work together when it matters.
Red teaming assessments are especially valuable for companies that already have fundamental security measures in place. A simulated attack shows whether their overall defenses can withstand a real-world attack scenario. The documented results are particularly useful for companies that need to provide evidence of security testing under NIS2 or DORA.
The assessment covers a needs analysis, joint scoping, the attack simulation itself, and a debrief on the findings, including concrete recommendations for strengthening your information security. An assessment typically runs over several weeks, with the exact duration depending on the scope and the agreed attack scenarios.
