Penetration Testing & Red Team

Penetration testing, red team, purple team, and FedRAMP testing from an SDVOSB cybersecurity firm with 225+ vulnerability discoveries and FIPS 140-3 tooling. We build our own tools.

Penetration Testing and Red Team

Tested By People Who Build The Tools

Most pentest reports are scanner output reformatted. Ours are produced by the same team that runs Dagger Forge, CyberDagger’s vulnerability research practice, has published CVE-2026-7431 / CVE-2026-7432 (Ivanti VPN client, SYSTEM privilege escalation) and CVE-2026-4837 (Rapid7 RCE, CVSS 9.2), and builds the offensive tooling CATM and ArgosAI that drives the engagement.

We do not resell other vendors’ platforms. We are SDVOSB-certified, USAF-veteran founded, and Microsoft for Startups members. Every engagement is staffed by operators with real research depth and military precision.


Compliance and Audit

FedRAMP Penetration Test

Cloud service penetration testing aligned with FedRAMP requirements. Our team has executed multiple penetration tests for FedRAMP audits and works directly with 3PAOs. Our own platforms use FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography (aws-lc-rs) and are designed for CNSA 1.0 / 2.0 environments. We test to the standards we build to.

HIPAA and HITRUST Compliance Penetration Test

Healthcare-focused testing that pinpoints security gaps in PHI-handling systems and validates controls against HIPAA Security Rule and HITRUST CSF requirements without compromise.

Security Controls and Policy Audit

Rigorous evaluation of policies and technical safeguards against industry best practices and applicable compliance frameworks. Reduces audit findings and produces a defensible control narrative.


Offensive Security

External Penetration Test

Internet-facing infrastructure, validated against vulnerabilities we have discovered in the same vendor products you may be running. Scoped per engagement.

Internal Penetration Test

Insider-perspective assessment of your network, identity infrastructure, and access controls. Tests segmentation, lateral movement, and privilege-escalation paths the way real adversaries take them. Scoped per engagement.

Web Application Penetration Test

Beyond automated XSS and SQL injection scanning. Manual testing for authorization flaws, business-logic abuse, and chained vulnerabilities. Scoped per application.

Cloud Penetration Test

Cloud-agnostic, AWS, Azure, GCP, or hybrid. Identifies misconfigurations, IAM weaknesses, and attack paths through cloud-native services and CI/CD pipelines.

Phishing Campaigns

Tailored campaigns mirroring techniques seen in current threat actor activity. Goes beyond credential harvesting to test response procedures and detection telemetry.

Insider Threat Simulation

Realistic scenarios covering both malicious and negligent insider activity. Tests data-loss prevention, monitoring, and access controls under operator-grade tradecraft.


Advanced Operations

Red Team Engagements

Full-scope simulation of advanced adversaries against your detection and response capability. Engagements use techniques and tooling, including CATM for command-and-control, that map to real threat actor TTPs. Scoped per engagement.

Purple Team Engagements

Collaborative offensive-and-defensive exercises that close the gap between what your blue team thinks they detect and what they actually catch. Each TTP is mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and validated against your existing detection stack. Scoped per engagement.

Threat Hunting

Proactive search for adversaries already inside your environment. Hypothesis-driven and informed by current threat intelligence and our own research findings.

Continuous Adaptive Threat Management (CATM)

Our flagship breach-and-attack simulation platform, deployed as an ongoing subscription. Real-time validation of detection and prevention controls against current adversary techniques. Runs fully air-gapped on customer hardware for environments that cannot accept SaaS, a deployment model most autonomous-pentest competitors structurally cannot offer. Learn more about CATM.
