Australia's Mature Red Team and Adversary Simulation Partner

Red team assessment is the most rigorous form of cyber security testing available to Australian businesses. Where standard pentesting answers the question how vulnerable is this application, red team assessment answers a much harder question: can a determined adversary achieve a specific business objective in our environment, and would our blue team detect them in time. APRA CPS 234, ASX governance, mature SOC 2 programs and increasingly board-level risk reviews now demand red team evidence as a periodic exercise for Australian financial services, healthcare and large SaaS organisations.

Codesecure Solutions delivers multi-stage red team assessments to mature Australian security programs from our Chennai red team practice. Every Australia red team engagement is delivered under a signed Australian-law NDA with named consultants, written rules of engagement, fixed AUD pricing and a final report mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, TIBER-EU style threat intelligence where relevant, ACSC Essential Eight, APRA CPS 234, ISO 27001 and NIST CSF. Critical: every red team engagement is governed by signed rules of engagement that define scope, allowed techniques, off-limits systems, communication channels and immediate stop-the-test triggers. We do not operate without explicit written rules of engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Standard pentesting answers how vulnerable is this application or network. Red team assessment answers a much harder question: can a determined adversary achieve a defined business objective in our environment, and would our blue team detect them in time. Red team operations are typically multi-week or multi-month, scope-bounded by business objective rather than asset, include phishing and physical attacks where relevant, and explicitly test detection capability not just prevention. They are appropriate for mature security programs with established blue team and SOC capability.

Yes, without exception. Every Codesecure red team engagement is governed by written rules of engagement signed by both Codesecure and the customer before any operations begin. The rules of engagement define scope and objectives, allowed techniques, off-limits systems and data, communication channels with the white team, escalation procedures, and immediate stop-the-test triggers if the engagement risks production damage or safety. We do not operate without explicit written rules of engagement; this is a non-negotiable safety and legal requirement.

Codesecure publishes transparent AUD price bands. A focused 4 to 6 week red team engagement targeting a single business objective typically runs AUD 35,000 to 80,000 fixed price. Multi-objective 8 to 12 week engagements run AUD 80,000 to 200,000. APRA-style cyber resilience exercises with extended threat intelligence and purple team replay components run AUD 150,000 to 400,000. Every engagement is fixed price with no hidden charges, and the cost includes operator time, infrastructure, threat intelligence and final reporting plus walkthrough.

No. Every Codesecure red team engagement is governed by written rules of engagement that explicitly prohibit production damage, denial of service, data destruction and any technique that creates safety risk. Off-limits systems are listed in the rules of engagement. Stop-the-test triggers are predefined and our operators stop immediately when triggered. We have a perfect record of zero production damage on red team engagements; this is a fundamental requirement of how we operate.

Yes. Many Australian customers prefer a purple team replay component after the red team operation, where each MITRE ATT&CK technique is rerun with full transparency, allowing the blue team to observe operator behaviour, build detection content, tune SIEM rules and develop response playbooks. Purple team replay typically runs 1 to 2 weeks following the main red team operation and significantly accelerates SOC maturity uplift.
