Adversary Simulation
Threat-informed simulation of relevant attacker behaviours and defensive coverage.
Adversary simulation turns threat intelligence into controlled tests of the techniques most relevant to your organisation. The engagement maps behaviours to a transparent plan, exercises selected controls and distinguishes technical prevention from detection and response.
Founder-led technical delivery
Why Safestorm for this assessment
Felix combines MITRE ATT&CK-informed planning with practical experience across Windows, Linux, identity, applications, infrastructure and cloud. The emphasis is on faithfully testing the behaviour that matters without copying unnecessary risk from a real intrusion.
- More than six years’ offensive-security experience
- OSCP and OSEP certified
- Red teaming, adversary simulation and control validation
- Published IPv6 research presented at BSides London
Felix’s prior experience includes identifying high-impact weaknesses in healthcare environments. Client identities and engagement details remain confidential.
What the assessment covers
Final coverage is agreed during scoping and reflects your technologies, user roles, threat model and operational constraints.
- Threat-profile and crown-jewel workshop
- MITRE ATT&CK technique selection and test planning
- Identity, endpoint, network and cloud-control validation
- Evidence of telemetry, alerting and analyst response
- Coverage gaps and prioritised detection-engineering actions
Common risks identified
Testing is not limited to this list. These examples illustrate the types of material risk the assessment is designed to uncover.
- Preventative controls that can be bypassed by realistic attacker behaviour
- Security activity that is not visible to the expected monitoring controls
- Response procedures that do not operate as expected under test conditions
A controlled process
How the engagement works
- Step 1
Define objectives, threat assumptions and success criteria
- Step 2
Design scenarios, safeguards and rules of engagement
- Step 3
Prepare stakeholders, communications and stop conditions
- Step 4
Perform controlled testing and collect proportionate evidence
- Step 5
Analyse control performance, visibility and response
- Step 6
Debrief stakeholders, prioritise improvements and verify agreed changes
Who this service is suitable for
- Organisations with a defined assurance objective and authorised scope
- Security teams seeking focused validation beyond a conventional penetration test

Methodology and industry references
Testing is risk-led and tailored rather than reduced to a checklist. Relevant, recognised guidance helps structure coverage and communicate results.
Referencing a framework does not represent certification against it or guarantee compliance with every control.
Frequently asked questions
How is the engagement scoped?
Safestorm begins with an objectives workshop and prepares a tailored proposal and rules of engagement. No assumptions are made about techniques, targets or operational risk.
Is a fixed price available?
A quote follows scope definition. Specialist requirements vary materially, so the proposal reflects the agreed scenario, duration and safety requirements.
