With the growing number of EASM companies on the market today, finding the best partner has proven to be an ambiguous, time-consuming process.  

To help, NetSPI examined hundreds of Requests for Proposals (RFPs) we’ve participated in to create a comprehensive template RFP for EASM services. In the template, you’ll find prompts and example questionnaires for:  

• Testing objectives  
• Selection criteria  
• Recommended services  
• Vendor risk management practices  
• And much more! 

Best of luck with your search for an EASM partner that meets your needs! We hope this template can shorten your discovery process and get you started on a solid foundation.

There were more than 4.7 million phishing attacks in 2022, growing over 150% per year since 2019 according to APWG. 

NetSPI’s Social Engineering focuses on email, text message, phone-based, and physical scenarios used by real-world adversaries to target key business goals, delivering actionable information to improve security.

Email & Text Message Testing (Phishing): 

Determine employee awareness levels, identify training opportunities, and discover procedural gaps through customized phishing messages designed to persuade employees into giving up sensitive information, or test email and spam filter configurations to improve technical controls. 

• Security Awareness 
• Account Takeover 
• Spearphishing Campaign 

Phone-Based Testing (Vishing): 

Following an audit-based or open-ended approach, identify and minimize risk as it relates to real-time phone-based attacks designed to gain sensitive information from employees based on publicly available information, allowing you to reduce the impact of real-world attacks. 

• Policy Check 
• Capture The Flag 

Physical & On-Site Social Engineering Assessment: 

An on-site analysis of your physical security controls and related policies is completed, and key personnel are interviewed to discover potential weaknesses or gaps that could allow unauthorized access to restricted areas or sensitive data. 

• On-Site Social Engineering Assessment
• Physical Security Controls Assessment
• Full On-Site Pentest

Leveraging proprietary methodology developed from over 20 years of hands-on penetration testing experience, as well as other widely adopted frameworks such as STRIDE, PASTA, and more, we provide a detailed technical analysis of your environment. 

NetSPI’s 6-Step Threat Modeling Process:

1. Define Security Objectives 
2. Information Gathering 
3. Environment Decomposition 
4. Threat Analysis 
5. Countermeasure Identification
6. Reporting 

3 Core Values of NetSPI’s Threat Modeling

Collaboration

We know there is no one-size-fits-all approach to threat modeling, so we work with you and your team to build a custom approach to each engagement.

Customization

We incorporate your preferred processes to target unique business risks, goals, and regulations, providing information that empowers security decision making.

Consistency

We use a combination of threat modeling methodologies developed by NetSPI and other widely adopted frameworks (STRIDE, PASTA, etc.) to provide top-quality analysis in each engagement.

Exercise the people, processes, and technologies that comprise your detection, response, and recovery capabilities.

Red Team exercises mimic the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of real attackers to target the people, processes and technologies of an entity. Utilizing a tailor-made approach to each engagement, Red Team exercises are designed to test the protection, detection, and response capabilities of critical functions and underlying systems within an organization against real-world conditions.  

NetSPI Red Team Operation Key Goals:  

• Validate Capabilities – Many teams purchase technologies and prepare for incidents, it is critical to validate effectiveness using a customized approach based on your unique objectives, challenges, and maturity level.   
• Educate teams – Exercise blue teams to identify gaps, improve coverage within those gaps, and educate organizational teams on what to do if a real-world scenario occurs at any point within the cyber kill chain.  
• Improve Detection – Discover coverage gaps, determine potential impact, and gain actionable information that proves ROI and justifies budgets.  

We Are The Adversary

A tremendous amount of time, effort, and money is spent in securing modern environments. NetSPI’s Red Team evaluates your assets and environments with an advanced, persistent adversarial lens. Not only do we emulate known, real-world TTPs designed to evade detection and response capabilities, but our dedicated research and development team develops customized payloads, beaconing implants, interactive remote access tools, and more. Utilizing unique attack vectors and novel TTPs we put your organizational assumptions to the test and push blue teams to think outside the box.

NetSPI’s Red Team Operation Offerings:  

• Black Box Exercise is designed to simulate a threat actor starting with little to no knowledge of the organization’s assets and environments.  
• Assumed Breach Exercise takes the approach of “not if an organization gets breached, but when”, starting from an internal perspective 

NetSPI’s Unique RTO Benefits Include:  

• Methodology developed by founding team members from the NSA and DoD, and decades of industry leading security testing expertise.  
• NetSPI’s exclusively developed command and control (C2) framework and post exploitation tools with more than a decade of supporting R&D. NetSPI has developed and taught red team courses around the globe.  
• Dedicated full-time Red Team R&D staff focus on developing and integrating new, unique TTPs into our tooling and methodology.  
• We educate blue teams with novel techniques not seen elsewhere.  
• We challenge assumptions made by security management and operations personnel about their own environments and capabilities.  
• Our top priority is your blue team. Exercising and assisting them with identifying gaps in process and technology.
