Adversary Simulation & Security Validation
See how a real attacker would actually get in — and what they'd reach
Individual vulnerabilities rarely tell the full story. Adversary Simulation & Security Validation (ASV) is a hands-on, outcome-focused exercise: consultants chain together weak points, exposed identities, and misplaced trust to demonstrate a genuine breach path — starting from what matters most to your business and testing whether it can actually be reached.
What's covered:
Eight simulation variants target different threat scenarios: external-origin attacks, identity-origin attacks, assumed-breach scenarios, crown-jewel and business-process targeting, remote workforce security, zero trust architecture validation, and cloud/SaaS-specific simulation. The category also includes related assurance work — CVE checks, dark web credential monitoring, CREST vulnerability assessments, M&A cyber due diligence, Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus audits, OWASP ASVS testing, and third-party assurance testing.
Why it matters
Instead of a theoretical risk score, you get evidence-based proof of how a breach would actually unfold in your environment — enabling you to prioritise the controls that would genuinely stop an attack, not just the ones that look good on a checklist.
Who it's for
Organisations that need proof-of-concept evidence — not just a vulnerability list — showing how individual weaknesses combine into real business impact.
