    Web, API, mobile, and network VAPT using OWASP Top 10 and CREST methodologies.

  • Compliance Audits

    ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS gap analysis and audit-ready documentation.

  • Incident Response

    Rapid containment, forensic investigation, and structured remediation with documented runbooks.

What We Deliver

Tangible outputs at every stage of your cybersecurity engagement.

VAPT Reports

Detailed findings with CVSS scores, PoC evidence, and prioritised remediation guidance for every vulnerability discovered.

Compliance Documentation

Audit-ready policies, controls mapping, and evidence packs for ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.

Security Hardening

Firewall rules, WAF configurations, privilege access reviews, and infrastructure hardening checklists.

Offensive & Defensive Security — The Full Spectrum

Real security requires thinking like an attacker and defending like a professional. Dastute deploys both Red Team operators and Blue Team defenders — often together in Purple Team exercises — to give your organisation comprehensive, tested protection.

Our Red Team simulates real-world nation-state and advanced persistent threat (APT) actors to uncover weaknesses that automated scanners and standard VAPT engagements cannot find. Using MITRE ATT&CK-aligned tradecraft, we deliver a realistic picture of your true breach risk — including technical, physical, and human attack vectors.

Full-Scope Red Team Engagement

End-to-end adversary simulation with defined objectives — "exfiltrate customer PII", "access CEO email", "reach finance systems". Tests technical controls, detection capability, and human response simultaneously. MITRE ATT&CK framework throughout.

CREST Penetration Testing

Web application, mobile, API, internal network, and cloud infrastructure penetration testing by CREST-certified operators. OWASP, PTES, and OSSTMM methodologies. Detailed CVSS-scored reports with proof-of-concept evidence and prioritised remediation guidance.

Social Engineering & Phishing

Tailored spear-phishing campaigns, vishing (voice phishing) attacks, and physical intrusion assessments that test both technical controls and human vulnerability — the number one initial access vector for ransomware. Full campaign reporting with click and credential rates.

Assumed Breach Exercise

Simulating an attacker already inside your network — testing detection capability, lateral movement resistance, privilege escalation paths, and incident response speed. Identifies gaps in your defence that perimeter-focused testing misses entirely.

Smart Contract & Web3 Security Audit

CREST-aligned smart contract auditing against OWASP Smart Contract Top 10 and SWC Registry. We have prevented exploits valued at over $50M through pre-deployment auditing. Covers re-entrancy, arithmetic overflow, access control, and economic attack vectors.

Purple Team Collaboration

Joint Red Team/Blue Team exercises where offensive findings directly improve defensive controls in real time. Accelerates security maturity faster than sequential red and blue engagements by creating an immediate feedback loop between attack simulation and defence improvement.

Red Team Tools We Use:

Cobalt Strike, Sliver C2, Empire, BloodHound, Impacket, Responder, Mimikatz, Metasploit Pro, Burp Suite Pro, Nmap, CrackMapExec — all used ethically within agreed rules of engagement and legal frameworks.

Attackers operate continuously. Our Blue Team detects, investigates, and responds to threats 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We build and operate the detection engineering, SIEM analytics, threat intelligence, and incident response capabilities that stop breaches before they make headlines — and we document every action for audit and learning.

24/7 SOC as a Service

Round-the-clock Security Operations Centre staffed by human analysts — not just automated alerts. Powered by Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, or IBM QRadar with CrowdStrike/SentinelOne EDR integration. Average threat detection and response time: under 3 minutes. Monthly threat reports included.

Threat Hunting & Intelligence

Proactive hypothesis-driven threat hunting within your environment — finding threats that automated detection misses. Dark web monitoring for credential exposure and data leaks. IOC ingestion from commercial threat intelligence feeds (MISP, VirusTotal Enterprise, Recorded Future).

SIEM Implementation & Tuning

Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk Enterprise Security, and IBM QRadar deployment from scratch or improvement of existing environments. Log source onboarding, detection rule development, false-positive reduction, and detection coverage mapping against the full MITRE ATT&CK framework.

Incident Response & Forensics

24/7 emergency incident response retainer with guaranteed SLA response times. Rapid containment, forensic investigation of affected systems, root cause analysis, and structured remediation. Ransomware recovery specialists on standby. Post-incident report with lessons learned and control improvements.

Security Awareness Training

Phishing simulation platforms, role-based e-learning modules, executive security briefings, and tabletop incident exercises. We reduce human risk — the number one attack vector — through continuous training, measurement, and behaviour change programmes tailored to your organisation.

Vulnerability Management Programme

Continuous authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability scanning using Nessus/Qualys, risk-based prioritisation using CVSS and asset criticality weighting, patch management coordination, and monthly posture reports. Integrated with your ITSM for automated remediation ticketing.

Blue Team Tools We Use:

Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk ES, IBM QRadar, CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, MISP, OpenCTI, Recorded Future, Velociraptor, Volatility, FTK Imager, Autopsy, Splunk SOAR, Palo Alto XSOAR.

UK-Specific Compliance We Support

Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus — the NCSC's baseline certification, mandatory for UK government supply chain. We provide gap assessment, remediation, and certification support.

NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) — for critical national infrastructure operators (energy, water, transport, financial market infrastructure).

DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) — relevant for UK financial entities with EU operational ties post-Brexit. ICT risk management, incident reporting, and third-party risk requirements.

ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, PCI-DSS, HIPAA — full gap analysis, controls implementation, and audit preparation across all major international security frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions

VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) identifies security weaknesses in your systems before attackers do. We use OWASP and CREST methodologies to simulate real-world attacks, discover vulnerabilities, and provide prioritised remediation guidance - protecting your data, reputation, and compliance standing.

Engagements range from 2 weeks for a focused VAPT to 12+ weeks for full ISO 27001 implementation. We tailor timelines to your scope, risk profile, and compliance deadlines.

Yes. We provide end-to-end support for ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS - including gap analysis, policy development, controls implementation, and audit preparation.

We serve fintech, healthcare, banking, e-commerce, manufacturing, and government sectors - each with sector-specific compliance requirements we understand deeply.

Yes. Our Managed Security Service includes 24/7 SOC monitoring, monthly threat reports, quarterly VAPT, and a dedicated security engineer assigned to your account.

A penetration test is a structured assessment of specific systems or applications within a defined scope. A Red Team engagement simulates a full adversary operation — using all attack vectors (technical, physical, and social) to achieve a specific objective. Red Team engagements test your detection and response capabilities, not just your vulnerabilities.

Blue Team refers to the defensive security function — the analysts, tools, and processes that detect, investigate, and respond to threats. Our SOC (Security Operations Centre) is where the Blue Team operates 24/7. A SOC without skilled Blue Team operators is just a room with screens; our analysts bring the expertise.

Yes. Cyber Essentials is the UK Government's baseline cybersecurity certification scheme, recommended for any organisation supplying to the public sector. We provide gap assessment, remediation support, and certification preparation for both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.

Our analysts subscribe to commercial threat intelligence feeds, participate in CREST and NCSC briefings, and contribute to open-source intelligence communities. We run internal red-vs-blue exercises quarterly to ensure our offensive knowledge directly improves our defensive capabilities.
