Emulate real-world adversariesbefore they exploit you.Attack-driven. Intelligence-led. Unmatched.
Spakto simulates modern attacker tradecraft across your infrastructure — validating detection, response, and control effectiveness through controlled, intelligence-driven adversary emulation before real threat actors get the chance.
Real adversaries don't
follow a checklist.
73% of initial access attempts in our red team engagements go undetected by existing controls. 48% of full kill-chain simulations reach crown jewel systems without triggering a single alert. We find what your defences miss — before real threat actors do.
Seven phases.
Full kill chain. No shortcuts.
Our operators execute the complete adversary kill chain — from OSINT reconnaissance to crown jewel access — using the same tools and tradecraft as the threat actors targeting your organisation.
Reconnaissance
We emulate the adversaries
targeting your sector.
Threat-intelligence-led engagements emulate the specific TTPs of adversary groups known to target your industry — so your team trains against realistic, not hypothetical, attack patterns.
APT29 / Cozy Bear
We replicate the specific initial access vectors, C2 infrastructure patterns, and post-exploitation tools used by APT29 / Cozy Bear — executing against your production defences in a controlled, safety-wrapped simulation.
Four engagement models.
One adversary mindset.
Penetration Testing
Technical report + executive summary + CVSS-scored finding list
2,400+ techniques.
Every tactic covered.
Every engagement produces a post-operation ATT&CK heatmap showing which techniques were used, which were detected, and which bypassed your defences — giving your SOC a precise roadmap for detection coverage improvements.
You can't defend
what you can't see.
Before any technical attack begins, our operators map your complete external attack surface — discovering exposed assets, shadow IT, and forgotten infrastructure that internal teams are unaware of.
Does your SOC actually
detect what matters?
Perimeter controls give a false sense of security. The real test is whether your SIEM, EDR, and analysts detect and respond when an attacker is already inside — which our red team operations systematically expose.
No commodity tools.
No off-the-shelf signatures.
Our operators build, maintain, and evolve a private toolset compiled fresh per engagement. Every payload is tested against the target's specific security stack before execution — achieving 94%+ EDR bypass rates without relying on known-bad signatures or public exploit frameworks.
Category Description
Memory-resident shellcode loaders built from scratch — no default signatures. Compiled per-engagement with LLVM obfuscation passes and in-memory execution.

What can an attacker reach
once they're inside your network?
Blast radius analysis quantifies the total business impact of a single compromised credential or endpoint. Every engagement produces an impact map — showing what systems, data, and controls fall within reach of the initial access vector before a single defensive control fires.

MITRE Impact Tactics
We attack like the
adversary targeting you.
Most penetration testers run automated scanners and call it a red team. Our operators are former threat intelligence analysts, malware reverse engineers, and nation-state-tracked incident responders — bringing real adversary tradecraft, not vendor templates.
Intelligence-Led
Every engagement starts with a custom threat model — mapping your industry, adversary groups, and crown jewels before a single packet is sent.
TIBER-EU / CBEST
Spakto delivers TIBER-EU and CBEST-aligned red team assessments for financial institutions requiring regulatory-mandated adversary simulation.
Zero Vendor Bias
Our operators write custom implants, bypasses, and tooling. We never rely on single-vendor frameworks — making our simulations authentic, not scripted.
Blue Team Enabled
Every red team engagement includes a structured purple team debrief — transferring TTP knowledge to defenders and validating detection improvements.
Narrative Reporting
Our reports tell the story of the attack — not just a finding list. Executive readers understand business risk; technical teams get PoC evidence and detection logic.
Retest Included
Every engagement includes a retest slot. We don't just find vulnerabilities — we validate that your team closed them correctly before the engagement closes.
Assume compromise.
Validate your response.
Schedule a scoping call to define your threat model, select the right engagement type, and kick off an intelligence-led adversary simulation that tells you exactly where your defences would fail.

A Penetration Test is a time-boxed, scope-defined exercise identifying as many vulnerabilities as possible across a defined target set. A Red Team Assessment is an objectives-based simulation of a real threat actor — using limited scope knowledge, real-world TTPs, and full kill-chain execution to test detection and response capability, not just vulnerability density.
We cover all 14 MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise tactics — from Reconnaissance through Impact — using the full technique library. Every engagement is mapped to the ATT&CK framework post-operation, producing a heatmap of tested coverage aligned to your threat model.
Every engagement produces an executive briefing, a technical findings report with proof-of-concept evidence, an ATT&CK heatmap showing tested vs. detected techniques, a prioritised remediation roadmap, and a re-test slot to validate fixes. Red Team engagements additionally include an adversary simulation narrative showing the full attack timeline.
A Red Team engagement typically runs 4–12 weeks depending on scope. Network penetration tests run 1–3 weeks. Application assessments 1–2 weeks. We tailor timeframes to the target complexity and threat model — rushed red team engagements produce findings, not intelligence.
Yes. We emulate the initial access, lateral movement, data exfiltration, and encryption staging TTPs of specific ransomware groups — including LockBit, ALPHV/BlackCat, and Cl0p — without deploying actual ransomware. This validates whether your EDR, network monitoring, and backup strategies would prevent or contain an actual incident.
