Your business is regulated. Your threats are not.
As a leader in a regulated sector, compliance is critical, and resilience is survival. You’re safeguarding your organization’s credibility, operational integrity, and resilience against relentless threats.
Legacy providers deliver predictable compliance exercises that check boxes but leave critical gaps. Tests detached from today’s adversaries miss chained attack paths, suppliers, and people. Our threat-led approach sequences scenarios around the most probable attack routes for your organization, then validates them under real conditions.
What threat-led means in a regulatory context
Threat-led testing uses current threat intelligence to select credible TTPs against your specific assets, then executes them across digital, social, and physical vectors. In regulated engagements, this ensures your CBEST or STAR-FS exercise mirrors genuine adversaries while meeting exacting framework requirements.
