Purple Teaming
A red team tells you what an attacker could do. Purple teaming tells you what your defenders actually detect, and closes the gap in real time. We pair our offensive expertise with your blue team to validate detection coverage across the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Why This Matters
Most organizations invest heavily in EDR, SIEM, and SOC, then never validate whether these tools actually detect real attack techniques. Purple teaming is the most reliable way to measure detection coverage against specific TTPs with precision. DORA makes this mandatory in the TLPT closure phase.
What We Test
How We Work
Collaborative, not adversarial. Your blue team works alongside us. We execute MITRE ATT&CK techniques step by step. Each technique is run, detection is verified, and gaps are documented and tuned in real time. No stealth. The goal is measurable improvement, not proving a point.

Why SharpSec
Attack + defence
We build offensive tools AND understand detection engineering. Purple teaming requires both perspectives, not just a red teamer reading SIEM logs.
We tune with you, not just report
We help your team write detection rules and tune alerts during the engagement, not after it.
Technique-level precision
We test and report at the individual technique level, not broad-stroke "we tested your SOC."
We stay until it works
The engagement doesn't end at the report. We iterate on detection rules with your team until coverage gaps close.
