Purple teaming & control validation

Turn test activity into stronger detection.

Specialist delivery and availability are confirmed during scoping.

THE RIGHT STARTING POINT

For SOC teams that need evidence a control works in their environment. This is a collaborative validation exercise; broader covert adversary simulation is separately scoped.

A clear scope. A useful outcome.

Select a small set of relevant behaviours and test them collaboratively. Observe the telemetry, confirm what an analyst receives, adjust the control, and rerun the scenario. Keep the exercise repeatable so your team can check that later platform changes have not weakened coverage.

The final scope, deliverables, and timing are agreed for your engagement.

What we cover

• Threat-informed scenarios and expected observations
• Endpoint, identity, cloud, and network telemetry
• Detection tuning and analyst investigation steps
• Response playbooks and repeat validation

What you take away

• Scenario-to-telemetry coverage matrix
• Detection gaps and tuning changes
• Repeatable validation procedures
• Defender debrief and improvement backlog

How to engage

A focused workshop or recurring validation cycle with the client’s defenders.

What progress looks like

Agreed behaviours observed, actionable alerts produced, and investigation steps successfully completed.

Before the engagement.

Agree the systems and business processes in scope, the authorisation required, the people involved and how the findings will be used. Timelines, deliverables, exclusions and any verification work should be confirmed directly.
