Scenario workshops
Exercises are planned around threats, assets, and techniques relevant to the organisation.
Purple Teaming
Collaborative attack and defence exercises that improve detection.
Purple teaming pairs offensive testing with defensive tuning so teams can see, understand, and improve coverage against real techniques.
Engagement detail
Joint attack and defence work with clear learning outcomes
Live control tuning
Defenders can adjust logging, rules, and response processes while techniques are demonstrated.
Evidence of improvement
Outputs show what was detected before, what changed, and where gaps remain.
Practical transfer
Sessions are designed to leave internal teams with repeatable knowledge, not just a report.
What it is
Purple teaming brings offensive and defensive teams together. Techniques are executed in a controlled way while defenders observe, tune detections, validate telemetry, and improve response workflows.
Who it is for
Suitable for organisations with SIEM, EDR, cloud logging, or an internal SOC that wants practical improvement rather than a purely point-in-time assessment.
Expected outcomes
- Better visibility of relevant attack techniques
- Improved detection logic and alert context
- Clear evidence of what changed during the exercise
- Knowledge transfer for defensive teams
Prerequisites
Prepare the defensive team and telemetry
Purple team preparation focuses on target techniques, defensive tooling, SIEM and EDR visibility, logging gaps, workshop format, success measures, and live tuning expectations.

Purple teaming questions
How is purple teaming different from red teaming?
Purple teaming is collaborative and improvement-focused. Offensive activity is used to help defenders observe techniques, tune detections, validate telemetry, and improve response workflows.
Do we need a SOC or SIEM?
A SOC is not always required, but useful telemetry is. SIEM, EDR, cloud logging, identity logs, and alerting processes all help make the exercise measurable.
Are detections tuned during the exercise?
They can be. Many purple team engagements include live review of alerts, logging gaps, detection logic, and response actions so improvements are made during the session.
Which techniques are tested?
Techniques are selected during scoping based on your environment, threat concerns, control priorities, and the telemetry or response workflows you want to validate.
What are the expected outputs?
Outputs usually include tested scenarios, observed telemetry, detection gaps, tuning recommendations, response lessons, and clear actions for defensive teams.
