Operation TLPT provides unequivocal evidence to meet the advanced requirements of DORA and NIS2. We show how your systems, processes, and people cope with an attack simulation based on specific, documented threats.
‍
Our simulation is the ultimate test of the effectiveness of your investments in defense systems (SIEM, EDR, SOAR). We show what works in practice and what is only a theoretical safeguard that a creative attacker can bypass.
‍
We verify in practice how quickly and efficiently your team (SOC/IR) is able to detect and stop a silent, advanced attack. This is invaluable feedback for your incident response procedures.
‍
We discover subtle, complex attack chains (kill-chains) that may bypass your Business Continuity Plans (BCP). Be prepared for real scenarios, not just those provided for in the documentation.

Resilience is more than compliance

The graph shows exponential increase in the complexity of attacks. Your company invests in defense systems to comply with regulatory requirements (e.g. DORA, NIS2), but their actual effectiveness remains unverified in the face of real scenarios. The real risk is not the lack of a certificate, but that you don't know if your security will withstand an attack as indicated by the risk analysis.

To genuinely verify your cyber resilience in a regulatory context, our TLPT process must include:

Data-Driven Scenarios (Threat Intelligence): Accurately define an attack scenario based on an analysis of real threats to your industry and region, as required by DORA.
Testing People, Processes and Technologies: Verification of the entire organization — from the resilience of employees to phishing, through the effectiveness of response procedures, to the configuration of security systems.
Stealth Action: The priority is to remain undetected for as long as possible to realistically assess the capabilities of your defense team (Blue Team/SoC) to detect and analyze subtle anomalies.
Contextual Report and Remediation Plan: Delivering a clear timeline of the attack and conduct workshops to understand weaknesses and build a plan to strengthen resilience, ready to be presented to the board and regulators.

Your compliance team can confirm compliance with the documentation, while having no insight into, how defense systems will behave during a real attack. This happens when there is a lack of someone who can translate regulatory requirements into the language of offensive operations. Our team TLPT provides this missing element by testing your resilience in a way that is both technically advanced and fully compliant with the TIBER-EU and DORA frameworks.

Does your company know, what its real resilience to probable attacks looks like, or does it base its knowledge solely on theoretical analyses and audits?

How Do We Turn Intelligence Data in to a Test of Your Resilience?

Our TLPT process is not a chaotic attack; it's a methodical, multi-stage campaign in line with the TIBER-EU framework. In 7 steps, we conduct a simulation that provides invaluable insights into the real effectiveness of your systems, people, and procedures.

TLPT PROCESS

Threat Analysis and Scenario Definition

We start with the analysis of threat intelligence specific to your industry. On this basis, together with you, we define the most likely and dangerous attack scenarios and objectives for our team to achieve.

Gaining Initial Access

At this stage, we move from theory to practice. We take advantage of the weakest point identified — whether through spear-phishing, a vulnerability in a public application, or a supply chain attack — to gain the first foothold inside your organization.

Achieving the Objective and Proving Impact

We are proving the real impact of the attack on business. We reach the “crown jewels” and simulate their capture (e.g. by exfiltrating a harmless sample of data). This is the ultimate proof that a given scenario is feasible.

Tactical Preparation

Acting as a real aggressor, we conduct passive and active reconnaissance. We identify potential entry points, technological and human weaknesses, creating a map of attack vectors tailored to the established scenario.

Escalation of Privileges Lateral Movement

This is the heart of the operation. Once accessed, we act covertly to escalate permissions, take control of subsequent systems, and move across the network (lateral movement) toward the target, trying to avoid detection by your defense team.

Detailed Reporting and Attack Timeline

We transform our activities into two key reports: a strategic report for management, showing business risk and DORA compliance, and an ultra-detailed technical report with a chronological attack timeline for your IT team and Blue Team.

Joint Workshops and Defense Strengthening Plan

The operation ends with a workshop (Debriefing/Purple Teaming), during which we play the attack step by step together with your defense team. We analyze what was detected, what was missed and why, creating a concrete plan to strengthen your company's real cyber resilience.

Benefits and the TLPT Cooperation Model

The success of a TLPT program depends on a realistic simulation and close collaboration after its conclusion. We provide an objective, external attacker's perspective. Your defense team (Blue Team) contributes crucial organizational knowledge. Together, we create a complete picture of your cyber resilience.

Proof of Resilience Against Specific Scenarios

You gain hard data for management and regulators, showing how your company handles the most likely threats, not just random attacks.

Verification of Detection and Response Capabilities (SOC/Blue Team)

You give your defense team a unique opportunity to train and detect a silent, advanced attack in a safe, controlled environment.

Identifying Invisible Attack Paths

We discover complex chains of attack (kill-chains) that bypass standard security and are invisible to automated scanners and classic pentests.

Strengthening Compliance with DORA and NIS2

You provide evidence of compliance with the requirements for advanced safety tests, based on the methodology in accordance with the TIBER-EU framework.

Partnership in Building Resilience

We are not just a service provider. We become your controlled adversary and partner in the analysis of results. Success depends on realistic simulation and open analysis after it is completed.
