WorkNest Secure
Purple Team
Our offensive (Red Team) and your defensive (Blue Team) teams work together to evaluate and enhance your organisation’s threat detection and response capabilities.
It starts with a playbook outlining tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by threat actors targeting your organisation. Test cases are created for each action and executed in a controlled process involving both teams.
Unlike covert red teaming, purple teaming prioritises visibility, real-time knowledge sharing, and continuous feedback to maximise learning and improve defences.
Our interactive portal tracks actions and outcomes, enabling both teams to document results and analyse detection and response effectiveness across the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

Our Process
Purple team engagements are very tailored, so each process is unique. That said, a typical engagement generally follows this structure:
We work with your security team to select TTPs or create custom attack scenarios based on your threat profile, tooling, and detection maturity, aligned with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
Each scenario runs in a controlled, transparent way with the blue team observing and responding in real time. Both teams’ activities are logged in our portal, showing detection events, analyst actions, and progression.
We review how scenarios were handled, noting which events triggered alerts, detection speed, escalation accuracy, and gaps in telemetry, visibility, or logic.
Quick wins are addressed immediately, enabling the blue team to update detection logic or workflows. Scenarios are re-run to validate fixes and confirm improvements before final reporting.
We deliver an analysis outlining immediate improvements and long-term recommendations. Unresolved items are prioritised and documented for ongoing development and future testing.

“We moved our legal support to WorkNest having previously used a time and line law firm. It was important, though, that an all-inclusive fee structure did not come at the expense of quality. Thankfully we’ve been delighted with the service we’ve received from WorkNest"
