Threat-informed exercise plan
Agreed scenarios, techniques, objectives, rules, and evidence requirements.
Offensive Security
Purple Teaming
Test together.
Defend with confidence.
Bring offensive testing and defensive observation into one collaborative exercise. Learn how your controls perform against agreed techniques and where to improve detection and response.
IRON FIST LABS / 03Offensive Security
01 / THE CHALLENGE
A deployed tool is not a tested defense.
Security tools need to be tested in context. Collaborative exercises connect simulated activity to the logs, alerts, and decisions your defenders actually see.
02 / WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Expertise you can
put to work.
A clear handoff for the people making decisions and the people delivering the work.
Detection and response findings
Observed activity, available logs, alerts, and gaps, mapped to relevant techniques.
Tuning recommendations
Practical improvements to logging, detection logic, and response workflows.
Technical and leadership readout
A clear account of what worked, what was missed, and what to improve next.
Your proposal confirms the deliverables, scope, responsibilities, and schedule for your engagement.
03 / HOW WE WORK
A clear path.
From start to next steps.
Choose the scenarios
Align exercise objectives with relevant threats and business priorities.
Simulate approved techniques
Coordinate controlled activity with your defensive team.
Compare the evidence
Review expected and observed logs, alerts, and response decisions.
Improve and validate
Recommend tuning and repeat agreed scenarios where included.
A STRONG START
Bring the context.
We’ll shape the plan.
You do not need every answer before getting in touch. These details help us scope the work.
A useful starting point
Priority threat scenarios, your tool stack, and current detection or response concerns.
The right people
Defenders, detection engineers, and a contact authorized to approve simulations.
What shapes the engagement
Techniques, telemetry access, exercise cycles, and whether tuning or repeat testing is included. We agree timing after reviewing these factors.
SEE THE SHAPE OF THE WORK
From observation
to next action.
A short example of how we make findings useful. The final format and depth depend on your agreed engagement.
Discuss your deliverablesILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE01 / BRIEF
Example detection review
Fictional scenario. Not a client result or a completed assessment.
- Focus
- Activity visible, alert missing
- Observation
- An illustrative approved simulation produces a useful log but no alert for the team.
- Recommended next step
- Review the detection logic, assign an owner, and rerun the agreed technique to validate visibility.
CONTEXT → OWNERSHIP → ACTION
04 / BEFORE WE BEGIN
A little clarity.
A better start.
How is this different from penetration testing?
Penetration testing focuses on exploitable weaknesses and impact. Purple teaming emphasizes collaborative validation of detection and response.
Can we use our current tools?
Yes. We agree access and coordination with your internal team or security provider.
Is hands-on tuning included?
Implementation and repeat testing depend on the scope. We make responsibilities and validation cycles clear in the proposal.
