Only Relying on Pen Tests to Gauge Real-World Readiness?

Penetration testing highlights technical weaknesses – crucial for protecting value in your business. But technical testing only tells part of the story. Simulating real attacks from real attackers goes deeper, delivering:

  • Sharper detection: Tune your tooling against real adversary behaviour, not just lab conditions.
  • Faster response: Give your SOC team the chance to rehearse and refine their playbooks in a safe environment.
  • Stronger compliance: Show regulators and stakeholders you’ve tested what really matters.

It’s time to find out how your team would really perform, and build the confidence that you’re ready for whatever’s next.

Go Beyond the Checkbox – Simulate What Matters

We know how hackers think. Because we are hackers… We’re just ethical ones. Here’s why that matters:

Real-World Threat Emulation

We use live threat intelligence and frameworks to mimic the attacks of known actors, not just generic exploits.

End-to-End Engagements

From phishing to lateral movement, data exfiltration to domain persistence – we simulate the full attack lifecycle to test your defences where it counts.

Purple Team by Design

We work with your internal team to improve detection, accelerate response, and harden defences – in real time, not just in hindsight.

Still unsure how your team would respond to a real attack? Let’s find out – safely.

The Cyber Alchemy Difference

It’s time to shift from uncertainty to confidence, transforming your organisation’s security posture:

Before Cyber Alchemy

  • You rely on assumptions, not evidence, about your defensive readiness
  • Your SOC team feels uncertain about how to respond in a real incident
  • Threat detection rules are based on theory, not practice
  • Compliance feels like a separate box to tick, not part of your security

With Cyber Alchemy

  • You have tested, validated insights into your organisation’s resilience
  • Your teams gain confidence through collaborative simulations
  • Your detections are sharpened using real adversary behaviour
  • You align security and compliance goals with ease and clarity

Want to test your defences – and immediately get to work bolstering them?

Get the Full Picture, So You Can Stay in Control

You already know the stakes. But with compliance pressures mounting and attackers evolving, the question isn’t if you’ve invested in cybersecurity. It’s whether those defences will work when it matters most.

Cyber Alchemy’s Adversary Simulation Services help you answer that question with confidence. We don’t just run a test. We craft realistic, intelligence-driven scenarios that show how real threat actors would target your business, and how your defences respond.

It’s collaborative. It’s detection-focused. And it’s designed to turn unknowns into insights.

Whether you’re pursuing a compliance framework like DORA, training your SOC team, or preparing for the next board-level security review, we’ll help you validate your readiness and strengthen your posture.

That means fewer blind spots, faster response, and more confidence that your business is protected, prepared, and positioned for growth.
