Cyber Security

Cybercriminals grow more sophisticated every day, regardless of how much you invest in defence. A proactive approach — emulating real attackers to discover hidden vulnerabilities before they do — is the only reliable way to know where you truly stand.

Most organisations discover their weaknesses the hard way — during an incident. By then the cost is measured not just in remediation, but in downtime, regulatory exposure and lost trust. Global Management Consulting takes the opposite approach: we act as the adversary would, safely and under a clear scope, so that the gaps surface on your terms rather than an attacker’s.

Our offensive security engagements are built on recognised methodologies such as the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES), the OWASP Testing Guide and the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This means results you can trust, findings that map to real-world attacker behaviour, and reports that both your engineers and your board can act on.

Every engagement ends with more than a list of vulnerabilities. You receive a prioritised, risk-rated remediation plan, a clear explanation of business impact, and direct access to the consultants who did the work — so fixing what we found is as straightforward as finding it.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered

What is the difference between a penetration test and a red team engagement?+

A penetration test evaluates a defined scope — an application, network or system — as thoroughly as possible within a set window. A red team engagement is goal-oriented and stealthy: it tests how far a determined attacker could get across people, processes and technology, and how well your detection and response hold up.

How often should we run security testing?+

At minimum annually, and after any significant change — a new application release, infrastructure migration or merger. Many regulated organisations test twice a year or continuously, which we can support through a managed programme.

Will testing disrupt our live systems?+

No. Scope, timing and rules of engagement are agreed with you in advance. Intrusive tests such as DDoS simulation are run in controlled windows, and we can work against staging environments where availability is critical.

What do we receive at the end?+

A clear report with an executive summary, technical detail for your engineers, risk ratings for each finding and a prioritised remediation plan — plus a retest of critical fixes.
