Our red team services
We compromise your systems to find every vulnerability before real hackers do. It’s that simple.
RED TEAM SERVICES THAT BREAK YOU BEFORE HACKERS DO
You deserve to be hacked
If you want to be secure, you need to know where you’re weak. There’s only one way to find out: attack first.
Attackers don’t wait for permission. They probe constantly for misconfigurations, over-permissioned accounts, and forgotten test environments. If you’re not attacking yourself, someone else will.
That’s where the Swarm comes in.
CovertSwarm delivers continuous security testing through elite ethical hackers who attack relentlessly across digital, physical, and social vectors. Constant pressure from a red team that thinks and acts like real-world attackers.
We’re here to break in, expose what’s exploitable, and help you fix it before it costs you. All by being a proactive partner, not just another vendor running pen testing services on a calendar.
what are ethical hacking services?
Ethical hacking services simulate real cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities, strengthen defenses, and meet compliance requirements. But here’s the difference: ethical hackers break into your systems on your side, with permission, expertise, and the goal of making you harder to breach.
Your enemies never warn you. We do.
At CovertSwarm, our approach is as aggressive as it gets. We chain exploits, bypass controls, and escalate privileges just like an advanced persistent threat actor would. The difference? We stop, report, and help you remediate instead of stealing your data.
Malicious hackers exploit weaknesses for profit, disruption, or damage. Ethical hackers, like the Swarm, do the same thing, but we hand you the keys to fix it. Same tactics. Different intent.
Ethical hacking services exist to answer one question: Can you be breached? And if the answer is yes, how deep can an attacker go?
That’s what drives everything we do.
OUR CORE RED TEAM SERVICES
CovertSwarm offers three core red team services for businesses:
- Constant Cyber Attack Subscription: Relentless, full-spectrum assaults across your digital, physical, and social surfaces
- Penetration Testing: Adversary-led assessments that go beyond tick-box tests
- Regulatory and Compliance Testing: Certified, framework-aligned red team exercises built for regulators
Each service is tailored to your industry, whether you need red team services for finance, healthcare, crypto, or SaaS.
constant cyber attack subscription
Our Constant Cyber Attack Subscription is CovertSwarm’s flagship service. It’s offensive security that never stops: built for the speed, scale, and complexity of today’s most exposed brands.
Why constant beats one-time testing:
Traditional penetration tests give you a snapshot. A moment in time. But your infrastructure doesn’t stand still. You ship new code. You add integrations. You onboard employees. And attackers? They never stop probing. It’s quickly becoming disconnected from the way modern infrastructure works. You deserve better.
What makes our subscription different:
-
- Always on
- Zero-day discovery
- Real-time insights
- No scopes. No schedules.
One simple subscription model. Monthly cycles. No hidden fees.

penetration testing
Penetration testing is a necessary part of any cybersecurity strategy. But it’s only as good as the team behind it.
At CovertSwarm, we don’t run generic scans and call it a day. We draw from our experience in full-spectrum red teaming to uncover what others miss. Our penetration testing services simulate real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities fast, then we help you close them.
Types of penetration testing we offer:
- Web application testing
- IT infrastructure testing
- Mobile app testing
We focus on the points of compromise that truly matter to your business. Not a thousand-page report full of noise. Just the vulnerabilities that could cost you, with clear remediation guidance and ongoing support from our ethical hackers.
regulatory and compliance testing
Compliance is mandatory. Threats are relentless. You need both.
For organizations in regulated industries—finance, healthcare, energy—meeting cybersecurity compliance services isn’t optional. But compliance alone won’t save you from a breach.
Why regulatory testing matters:
Regulators want proof that your defenses work. But here’s the catch: most compliance exercises check boxes without exposing real risk. We don’t do that.
CovertSwarm is CREST accredited for both CBEST and STAR-FS, two of the most advanced threat intelligence led frameworks. Few red teams worldwide hold both accreditations.
We also hold ISO 27001, FSQS, and other certifications that demonstrate our commitment to information security and risk management.
We don’t just help you meet regulatory requirements. We help you surpass them.
WHY CHOOSE
COVERTSWARM
The Swarm Approach
Most providers assign one or two testers to your engagement. We give you an entire Swarm.
Our ethical hackers bring diverse skill sets, from cloud exploitation to social engineering to physical intrusion testing. You’re not limited by the expertise of a single consultant. You get the collective intelligence of a team with hundreds of years of combined experience.
When one hacker finds a thread, another pulls it. When a new vulnerability emerges, the Swarm is already hunting it. That’s the power of the Swarm approach: relentless, collaborative offensive security that mirrors how real attackers operate.
Subscription Model
Starting from less than the cost of a single internal security hire, our subscription model gives you continuous value without the overhead of building an in-house red team.
No waiting weeks for reports. No wondering if your last test is still relevant. Just constant, focused pressure from a red team that adapts to your evolving infrastructure. Cost-effective, scalable, and built for the pace of modern development.
See ethical hacking service pricing for more details.
Full-Spectrum Security
We don’t just test your firewalls. We test your people, your processes, and your physical security.
CovertSwarm attacks across three vectors:
- Digital: Networks, applications, cloud infrastructure, APIs, CI/CD pipelines
- Physical: On-site intrusion testing, tailgating, badge cloning, securing physical access points
- Social: Phishing campaigns, pretexting, social engineering attacks targeting your employees
Real-world attackers don’t limit themselves to one vector. Neither do we.
Accreditations That Matter
We’re not just claiming expertise, we’re independently verified.
- CREST accredited for STAR-FS and CBEST
- ISO 27001 certified for information security management
- FSQS registered, meeting rigorous standards for the UK financial sector
These aren’t vanity badges. They’re proof that we meet the industry’s most demanding standards, and that regulators, auditors, and insurers can trust our findings.

Red team services faqs
How do cybersecurity services help my business?
Cybersecurity services help you identify vulnerabilities, strengthen defenses, and reduce the likelihood of a breach. Red team services go further by simulating real-world attacks to expose exploitable weaknesses, giving you the intelligence you need to fix critical issues before attackers find them.
Beyond security, these services help you meet compliance requirements, reassure stakeholders, and protect your brand reputation.
Can you protect yourself from hackers?
You can’t eliminate risk entirely, but you can reduce it. The best defense is knowing where you’re weak and fixing it before attackers do. That requires continuous testing, real-time threat intelligence, and a proactive security posture.
Point-in-time tests won’t cut it. Attackers probe constantly. Your defenses should be tested just as relentlessly.
How much do hacking services cost?
CovertSwarm’s services start from less than the cost of a single internal security hire. Our Constant Cyber Attack Subscription offers custom pricing based on your needs, while one-off engagements start from £1,725 / $2,300 per day.
We also offer discounted rates for public institutions, charities, and B Corps.
What is a white hat hacker?
A white hat hacker is an ethical hacker who uses the same tools, tactics, and techniques as malicious hackers, but with permission and the goal of improving security. They break into systems to identify vulnerabilities, then report them so they can be fixed.
At CovertSwarm, every member of the Swarm is a white hat hacker. We attack like adversaries, but we’re on your side.
Is white hat hacking legal?
Yes, when done with explicit permission and within agreed-upon scopes.
White hat hacking is legal because it’s authorized by the organization being tested. CovertSwarm operates under strict contracts, accreditations (CREST, ISO 27001), and legal frameworks to ensure all testing is compliant, ethical, and aligned with your regulatory requirements.
Unauthorized hacking, even with good intentions, is illegal. That’s why proper scoping, contracts, and accreditation matter.
