Validate controls, expose real risk, and prevent business-impacting incidents.

DNX Offensive Security Services help organisations understand how they would actually be compromised, not how they look on paper. We proactively test systems, people, and processes to uncover weaknesses before they are exploited — giving leadership clear visibility into real-world risk.

Offensive security turns assumptions into evidence, strengthens decision-making, and ensures security investments hold up under pressure.

What Is It?

Independent validation of security controls and risk exposure.

Offensive Security Services simulate realistic attack scenarios to test whether controls, monitoring, and response mechanisms work as intended. DNX conducts controlled, ethical testing across technology and human layers to identify gaps that defensive tools and compliance checks often miss. This is not box-ticking. It is a practical validation designed to reduce uncertainty and prevent high-impact incidents.
Penetration Testing

Identify exploitable technical weaknesses before attackers do

Simulated attacks against applications, cloud environments, and infrastructure to uncover vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorised access, data exposure, or service disruption. Findings are prioritised by business impact and exploitability, not volume.

Red Team Testing

Test real-world attack scenarios end to end

Targeted, multi-stage simulations that assess how well people, processes, and technology work together under pressure. Red Team exercises validate detection, response, and escalation across the organisation.

Social Engineering

Assess human risk beyond technical controls

Controlled testing to evaluate how staff respond to manipulation attempts that bypass technology. This highlights behavioural and process gaps that attackers commonly exploit.

Simulated Phishing Attacks

Reduce the likelihood of credential compromise

Measured phishing simulations that test awareness, reinforce training, and improve resilience against one of the most common attack vectors. Results support targeted improvement, not blame.

Potential Benefits

Evidence-based security that supports confident decisions

Clear visibility of real, exploitable risk

Understand what attackers could actually achieve, not just what frameworks imply.

Stronger confidence in existing security controls

Validate whether current investments in tooling and monitoring are working as intended.

Reduced likelihood of high-impact incidents

Identify and address weaknesses before they result in downtime, data loss, or regulatory exposure.

Improved organisational readiness

Ensure teams can detect, respond, and escalate effectively during real attack scenarios.

Actionable findings, not noise

Prioritised remediation guidance aligned to business impact and risk tolerance.

FAQs

Offensive Security — executive questions answered

Why do we need offensive testing if we already run defensive security?
Defensive tools monitor and respond. Offensive testing validates whether those controls actually stop or detect real attacks.
Compliance shows alignment to a standard. Offensive testing shows real-world exposure and readiness.
No. Testing is carefully planned and executed to minimise operational risk.
Early identification of exploitable weaknesses helps avoid breach costs, downtime, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage.
Typically annually or after major changes. We tailor frequency based on risk, industry, and environment.
Findings feed directly into remediation, defensive improvements, and governance reporting.
Yes. These services support audit, regulator, and customer assurance expectations.
Value is immediate through clearer risk visibility and prioritised remediation.
