Bridge the gap between offence and defence.

Purple Teaming is a collaborative engagement where our offensive security experts work side-by-side with your blue team to improve detection, response, and readiness.

Why Purple Teaming Matters

Security tools and alerts are only part of the picture. The real question is:

Can your team detect and respond when it matters?

Purple Teaming helps answer that — and elevate your security capability in the process.

 

At Heretek, our Purple Team engagements go beyond the checklist mentality. We blend offensive and defensive expertise into a collaborative, intelligence-driven process that empowers your security team rather than exposing its gaps. By fusing real-world adversary simulation with practical, defender-focused insight, we create engagements that are transparent, adaptive, and deeply contextual. Our goal isn’t just to test your controls, but to sharpen your detection, improve your response, and elevate your security maturity in measurable ways. Unlike traditional approaches, we treat every Purple Team as a partnership—your defenders gain hands-on experience, and your organisation walks away stronger, not just scored.

What We Offer

Attack Simulation

We emulate tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) aligned to real adversaries (MITRE ATT&CK, threat intel, or bespoke scenarios).

Live Collaboration

We share each step with your blue team as it happens — allowing you to validate detections, test response, and refine controls in real time.

Detection Engineering Support

We help you tune alerts, close coverage gaps, and document improvements — so your defences evolve with the threat landscape.

Reporting That Drives Action

You’ll get a final report that not only outlines what was tested and found — but what was detected, missed, and how to improve.

Engagement Options

  • Full-stack Simulation – across network, endpoint, identity, cloud, and application layers

    Our team is here to test any of your systems on their own or as part of a larger system.

  • MITRE ATT&CK Coverage Assessments

    Targeted testing and improvements which align with any section of the framework.

  • Response Playbook Testing

    Tabletop simulations or full adversary simulations designed to put your Major Incident Management processes through their toughest test.

  • Purple Team as a Service (ongoing retainer)

    As your controls develop we come back to ensure they are tested, tuned and ready to face the most advanced adversaries.
