Frequently Asked Questions About Our Offensive Security Services

What are offensive security services?

Offensive security services simulate real-world attacks against an organization to identify vulnerabilities, assess the effectiveness of existing defenses, and improve overall resilience against cyber threats. They use the same techniques employed by real attackers—such as penetration testing, social engineering campaigns, and red team exercises—but within a controlled, ethical, and security-focused framework.

When should an offensive security assessment be performed?

Offensive security testing is recommended at key stages, such as before launching a new system or application, after significant infrastructure changes, as part of a continuous security improvement program, or to meet customer, regulatory, or audit requirements. It is also commonly adopted by organizations with mature cybersecurity programs that want to validate their detection and response capabilities.

What is the difference between penetration testing and a red team exercise?

Penetration testing focuses on identifying and exploiting technical vulnerabilities in systems, networks, or applications within a defined scope and timeframe. A red team exercise, on the other hand, simulates advanced persistent attacks using a broader approach that may include social engineering, defense evasion, and lateral movement, with the objective of measuring the effectiveness of the organization’s detection and response capabilities (blue team).

Are social engineering tests ethical and legal?

Yes, provided they are conducted with the organization’s prior authorization and approval. Professional engagements such as those delivered by Tarlogic are carefully designed to comply with applicable laws, minimize operational risk, and ensure ethical execution. The scope, permitted techniques, and participants are clearly defined to prevent unintended impact.

What is included in the final assessment report?

The ideal frequency depends on the organization’s profile and level of exposure. However, penetration tests are generally recommended at least once a year or after significant system changes. In highly critical environments or where regulatory requirements apply, assessments may be performed every six months or even continuously through approaches such as Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS).

Can multiple types of security testing be combined within a single project?

The final report includes an executive summary, detailed technical findings describing the identified vulnerabilities, their severity, potential business impact, supporting evidence, and clear remediation recommendations. Depending on the engagement, it may also include a risk assessment and, for advanced exercises, an evaluation of the internal security team’s detection and response performance.
