ENGAGE RECCE GROUP
Find what works. Make it fail. Prove it.
01- THE ENGAGEMENT
HOW A COUNTER-TARGETING ENGAGEMENT WORKS
Counter-Targeting follows a deliberate sequence: find the pathways available to an adversary, prove which ones work, deny what makes them viable, then test them again.

DEFEAT ADVERSARIAL TARGETING.
DENY OPPORTUNITY.
01- THE FIRST 30 DAYS
FIND IT.
A Recce Group Professional Counter-Targeter targets the principal and their ecosystem from the adversary’s perspective—using advanced OSINT, remote reconnaissance, pattern-of-life analysis, and other targeting methods to find what a capable adversary could find, infer, and exploit.
We work quietly and discreetly, without disrupting the principal or their security program. The process follows the evidence wherever it leads—not the boundaries of the security program.
YOU RECEIVE -
THE COMPLETE TARGET PROFILE
A comprehensive profile of the principal’s exposure from an adversary’s perspective—identifying:
-
what's exposed,
-
which adversaries could exploit it,
-
the attack vectors available to them, and
-
the viable pathways those vectors create to the principal.
02- DAYS 31-90
PROVE IT.
Finding a viable pathway is not the same as proving it works.
Selected attack vectors become authorized adversary missions. Depending on the mission, testing may involve surveillance, social engineering, digital exploitation, physical access testing, pattern-of-life exploitation, or attempts to circumvent existing protective measures.
Specialized operators proceed only as far as necessary and permitted to establish the result.
YOU RECEIVE -
THE ADVERSARY MISSION REPORT
Adversary Mission Report (AMR) — A comprehensive record of each authorized adversary mission—documenting what was attempted, how the pathway was tested, what happened, what existing security defeated, and which pathways were demonstrated to remain viable.
You'll know what a capable adversary can actually do.
03 - AFTER 90 DAYS
DENY IT.
The pathway determines hardening.
Recce Group works with your existing team to address what made each demonstrated pathway viable. Action may fall to Legal, Finance, HR, Communications, Privacy, Cybersecurity, Executive Protection, the Executive Office, or others across the principal’s ecosystem.
You’ll know what must change, why it matters, who can change it, and have the evidence to justify the action.
Where additional capability is required, Recce can recommend trusted specialists and coordinate remediation with your team. Providers are engaged directly by the client, while Recce remains independent of the remediation and returns to verify the result.
YOU RECEIVE -
THE PATHWAY DENIAL PLAN
A prioritized plan for closing demonstrated pathways—identifying the dependencies each pathway relies on, which must be removed, reduced, or degraded to deny it, who should own the hardening effort, and the actions required.
04 - WHEN READY
VERIFY IT.
Implementation doesn't prove a pathway is closed. Retesting does.
When hardening is complete, Recce returns as the adversary and reruns the original missions under controlled authorization.
YOU RECEIVE -
A PATHWAY CLOSURE REPORT
A record of adversarial retesting that verifies whether the original result can still be reproduced and identifies which pathways are closed, materially reduced, or remain viable.
Pathways are closed when the adversary can no longer reproduce the result.
