Read the blog →A red team is a goal-oriented adversarial engagement that simulates a real attacker to test an organization's people, processes, and technology together, including its ability to detect and respond. Rather than cataloguing every vulnerability, a red team pursues a specific objective such as accessing sensitive data. It measures resilience, not just exposure.
A pen test asks "what is vulnerable?" A red team asks "if a determined attacker targeted us, would we notice and could we stop them?" Engagements often run stealthily and may include social engineering and physical access.
The defending side is the blue team, and a purple team exercise blends both so attackers and defenders share findings in real time. Red teaming suits organizations that already have a working security program to stress-test.

Red teaming is what you commission when you already believe your controls work and want to know whether they hold up against somebody actively trying to defeat them, including your detection and response.
It is the wrong purchase for a first-time security programme. If you do not yet have logging, alerting and an incident process, a red team will confirm that quickly and expensively.
A penetration test aims for coverage of a defined scope. A red team aims for an objective, is usually time-boxed and stealthy, and tests your detection and response as much as your controls.
No. SOC 2 does not require red teaming. It is a maturity exercise, generally for organisations that already run testing and have a functioning detection capability.
