From Compliance Checkboxes to Proven Defense
Passing an audit confirms you have controls in place. Red teaming confirms those controls actually work. These are the outcomes organizations take away from a Sera Brynn red team engagement.
Engagement Outcomes:
- A clear picture of your security
- Stronger incident detection and response capabilities
- Confidence in your compliance investment
- Reduced risk of a costly incident
- A credible security simulation for leadership and the board
Simulated Attacks. Real Findings.
A coordinated attack does not follow a checklist. Neither does our methodology. Each engagement is scoped to defined objectives and executed across the attack surfaces most relevant to your organization.
External Attack Simulation
Testing of externally exposed systems to identify entry points an attacker could exploit to establish initial access into your environment.
Internal Movement and Privilege Escalation
Simulation of attacker behavior after initial access, including lateral movement across systems and escalation of privileges toward high-value targets.
Detection and Response Evaluation
Assessment of your security team's ability to identify, escalate, and contain adversary activity as it unfolds across your environment.
User-Based Attack Paths
Testing of human-focused attack vectors, including phishing and social engineering, to evaluate how your people respond under simulated adversary pressure.
Multi-Vector Attack Execution
Coordinated adversary activity executed simultaneously across multiple systems, teams, and processes to simulate how a sophisticated attacker operates.
Objective-Based Scenarios
Engagements scoped to specific attacker goals such as access to sensitive data, operational disruption, or system control, mirroring real-world threat scenarios.
AI Safety Testing
Evaluation of AI-integrated environments to identify how adversaries could exploit your organization's AI adoption, including prompt injection, model abuse, and data exposure risks.
Cloud and Hybrid Environment Testing
Adversary simulation across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid infrastructure to uncover attack paths that span environment boundaries and evade perimeter-based controls.

Why Sera Brynn
for Red Teaming
Sera Brynn holds CMMC C3PAO authorization and is an accredited FedRAMP and GovRAMP 3PAO. Security programs in regulated environments are evaluated against a high and specific standard, and our practitioners understand that standard from the inside. Clients get red team findings that hold up in regulatory conversations, not just internal security reviews.
Every Sera Brynn red team engagement is led by professionals holding security certifications with hands-on experience across adversary simulation and compliance assessment. Credentials matter because they signal that findings are produced by practitioners who understand both offensive techniques and regulatory expectations. Clients get depth of expertise that most red teaming firms cannot offer.
Sera Brynn has been conducting red team engagements since 2011, with a methodology that is documented, repeatable, and tested across hundreds of engagements. Consistency in process means findings are reliable and comparable across engagements over time. Clients get a predictable, professional experience from scoping through debrief.
Our practitioners have served as both advisors and assessors across CMMC, FedRAMP, and GovRAMP programs. That dual perspective means engagements are informed by how regulators evaluate security programs, not just how attackers exploit them. Clients get findings with a depth of context that changes how remediation decisions get made.
Frequently Asked Questions
Red teaming is a controlled adversary simulation where a team of certified security practitioners attempts to breach your organization using the same techniques, tools, and tactics a real attacker would use. Unlike a vulnerability scan or penetration test, red teaming evaluates your entire security program as a system, including your people, processes, and technology. The goal is to determine whether your organization can detect, respond to, and contain a determined attacker under realistic conditions.
Penetration testing identifies technical vulnerabilities in a defined scope, typically a specific application, network segment, or system. Red teaming is broader in scope, longer in duration, and objective driven. A red team engagement simulates a coordinated, multi-stage attack across your entire environment to test whether your security program functions as a whole. Penetration testing tells you where the holes are. Red teaming tells you whether your organization would survive a real attack.
Red teaming is most valuable after an organization has implemented a security program and wants to validate that it works under real conditions. It is particularly relevant before or after a major compliance milestone such as CMMC certification, FedRAMP authorization, or a significant infrastructure change. Organizations that have passed audits but have never tested their real-world detection and response capabilities are strong candidates for a red team engagement.
Engagement duration depends on scope, environment complexity, and defined objectives. Most Sera Brynn red team engagements run between two and six weeks from scoping through debrief. Larger or more complex environments may require additional time to ensure thorough coverage and accurate findings. Timeline expectations are established during the scoping phase so there are no surprises during execution.
Red teaming is required for FedRAMP Class C and D. Red teaming is one of the most credible ways to produce that evidence. Organizations that invest in red teaming before an assessment are better positioned to demonstrate control effectiveness and respond confidently to assessor questions.
