Purple Team Exercise in Wakefield

Purple team exercises for Wakefield organisations, where the value comes from the defenders being in the room. Attack techniques are run deliberately and openly while the security team watches what their tooling shows — so each one either produces a detection or reveals precisely where the visibility gap is.

Why this comes up

The problem

The security team has detection rules and no evidence about which techniques they actually catch.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Techniques selected against threats relevant to your organisation rather than a generic list
  • Each one executed with the defending team observing their own tooling
  • Detection outcome recorded per technique — caught, logged only, or invisible
  • Rules written or tuned during the exercise where gaps are found
  • Improvements verified by repeating the technique rather than assumed
  • Results documented so coverage can be tracked over successive exercises

Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what purple team exercise would actually involve — whether or not you use us.

Purple Team Exercise in Wakefield — common questions

Why must the defenders participate?
Because the learning happens in the moment. Watching a technique run and seeing exactly what appears — or does not — in their own tooling teaches the team more than any report, and it lets them write and test a rule while the activity is reproducible.
How are techniques chosen?
From what is realistically relevant. Running an exhaustive catalogue produces volume rather than insight, whereas selecting techniques associated with threats to your sector and your technology gives results you can act on within the day.
What are the three outcomes?
Detected, logged but not alerted, or entirely invisible. The middle category is the most valuable finding — the evidence exists and nothing draws attention to it, which is a tuning problem rather than a tooling one and usually fixable immediately.
How does this compare with a red team?
It is collaborative rather than adversarial and produces improvements directly. A red team measures your response under realistic conditions; a purple team builds the detection capability that response depends on — so the second frequently belongs before the first.
Do you work with businesses across West Yorkshire?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Yorkshire & the Humber, including Wakefield and the surrounding West Yorkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Wakefield businesses do you usually work with?
Warehouse, routing and fulfilment systems for distribution operators serving the whole north of England. Beyond that we work across Logistics, Manufacturing, Retail, Public Sector and Food Production.
Do you cover the areas around Wakefield?
Yes — we work throughout Yorkshire & the Humber, including Leeds, Bradford, Doncaster. Wakefield is an urban area of roughly 110,000+, and we take on work across the wider West Yorkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
