Red Team — Human-Led Adversary Simulation for Indian Businesses
A red team exercise run by people — not a product you switch on.
We agree the objective and the rules of engagement with you in writing, run the exercise by hand inside an agreed window, and hand back a written attack narrative.
What a red team engagement covers
Four things we do today, and two we are still building. Each card says which it is.
Objective-led planning
We agree up front what the exercise is actually testing — reaching a specific system or dataset — so it is targeted rather than a generic sweep. Written down before anything starts.
Rules of engagement
Scope, permitted techniques, the engagement window, a named deconfliction contact on your side, and an explicit exclusion of destructive actions. We do not begin without written authorisation.
Social engineering, only where authorised
Phishing and pretexting against named, in-scope people — run only where you have authorised it in the rules of engagement, and never against anyone outside them.
Attack narrative report
The path we took, where your detection worked, where it did not, and a prioritised list of what to fix — written by the team that ran the exercise, then walked through with you.
Planned: MITRE ATT&CK mapping
We are building technique-level mapping of engagement findings to the ATT&CK framework. It is not part of the report today.
Planned: continuous simulation
An engine that re-tests your controls between engagements on a schedule. In development — there is no scheduler, no agent, and nothing running on your systems.
VAPT vs a red team engagement
Two different questions. Most organisations need both, usually in that order.
| VAPT | Red team engagement | |
|---|---|---|
| The question it answers | Where are we exposed? | Would anyone notice an attacker? |
| Scope | The systems listed in the scope document | Any path to the agreed objective, inside the rules of engagement |
| How it runs | Scanning engine plus analyst review | Run manually by our team |
| Cadence | Per engagement, with retests | Per engagement, planned with you |
| Output | Findings report with remediation steps | Attack narrative plus detection-gap analysis |
| Automation today | Scan automation is live | None — the simulation engine is still in development |
How an engagement runs
Four stages, all of them run by people. None of this is automated today.
We agree the objective, what is in and out of scope, which techniques are permitted, the engagement window, and who we call to deconflict — in writing, before anything starts.
We research your external footprint from public sources and build the attack plan we intend to run, using only what the rules of engagement allow.
Our team runs the exercise by hand inside the agreed window, with a channel open to your contact so it can be paused if a real incident happens at the same time.
We walk your team through what we did, what was detected, what was missed and what to fix first — and hand over the written narrative.
Our Services
A 30-minute call to agree objectives and scope — and to tell you honestly whether a red team is the right next step for you at all.
A time-boxed exercise run by our team against an agreed objective, ending in a written attack narrative and a joint debrief. Scoped and priced per engagement.
Automated re-testing of controls between engagements. In development — not something you can buy today.
Every engagement is scoped and priced after a call — we do not sell red teaming off a price list. Book a Demo →
Technical FAQ
The questions your CISO will ask before authorising one.
Is there an automated simulation engine behind this page?
No. Red teaming at Bachao.AI is a human engagement today — our team plans and runs the exercise by hand. An automated breach and attack simulation engine is on our roadmap. It is not built, and nothing runs continuously against your infrastructure.
How is a red team engagement different from a penetration test?
A penetration test enumerates vulnerabilities inside a defined scope. A red team engagement starts from an objective — reaching a particular system or dataset — and tests whether your people and tooling notice someone working towards it. A pen test tells you where you are exposed; a red team tells you whether anyone would spot it.
What are the rules of engagement?
Everything is agreed in writing before the exercise starts: the objective, systems in and out of scope, permitted techniques, the engagement window, a named deconfliction contact on your side, and an explicit exclusion of destructive actions. We do not begin without written authorisation from someone entitled to give it.
Do you install anything on our systems?
Not today. The engagement is run by our team from positions you authorise. Agent-based endpoint testing belongs to the simulation engine we are still building, not to anything we deploy now.
Can a red team engagement satisfy a regulatory requirement?
Talk to us before you assume it does. We produce an attack narrative and a detection-gap analysis. Whether that meets a specific obligation depends on your regulator, your scope and your auditor — and if a red team is not what your obligation actually calls for, we will say so.
How do we start?
With a scoping call. If a red team is not the right next step — and for many organisations a VAPT is the more useful place to start — we will tell you that instead of selling you an engagement.
