SCPTP: A Better Way to Run Purple Team Exercises
Most purple team engagements still run on spreadsheets, screenshots, and a report written after the fact.
SCPTP replaces that with a real-time, structured system built specifically for how these exercises actually work.
SynerComm purple team engagements now run on SCPTP, a platform we built to match how attackers operate, how defenders respond, and what security leaders actually need to measure.
SCPTP isn’t a reporting tool. It’s the execution system for modern purple team exercises.
What SCPTP Does
SCPTP runs alongside every SynerComm Purple Team Exercise.
It captures each technique executed, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, along with expected control behavior, actual detection and prevention outcomes, defender observations, and supporting evidence, all in one place, in real time.
Every action is timestamped. Every observation is tied to a specific technique. Every gap is grounded in evidence.
What Changes for Our Client
1. You see the exercise as it happens
You don’t wait days or weeks for a report.
You watch the exercise unfold live.
Your analysts see alerts fire, or fail to fire, at the same moment the technique is executed, in the same tools they use every day. They validate detections, investigate activity, and respond in real time, not in hindsight.
This isn’t a tabletop exercise. It’s your environment, your controls, your team, operating under real conditions.
2. The output is structured, not static
Traditional engagements end in a document. SCPTP produces a system of record.
Every gap is tied to:
- the exact technique executed
- the control that was expected to detect or prevent it
- the observed outcome(s)
- the supporting evidence
Your detection engineering team gets actionable inputs, not a narrative they have to translate into work. Remediation is directly connected to what failed, not inferred from a write-up.
This reflects how modern reporting should work, structured, technique-level, and evidence-driven, not static and descriptive.
3. Each engagement builds on the last
Most security assessments are snapshots. SCPTP turns them into trend lines.
The platform preserves your historical results between exercises. Techniques that previously bypassed detection can be re-tested. Coverage gaps can be measured over time. Improvements are validated, not assumed.
You’re not starting from zero each quarter. You’re tracking progress.
Detection coverage increases. Response times improve. Control effectiveness becomes measurable.
Why We Built It
The spreadsheet-and-report workflow doesn’t reflect how purple team exercises actually run.
Pentesters don’t execute techniques in a vacuum. Defenders don’t analyze events days later. And security leaders don’t make decisions based on static documents.
They need:
- real-time visibility into what’s happening
- structured data tied to attacker behavior
- a way to measure improvement over time
Off-the-shelf tools solve adjacent problems, ticketing, SIEM, reporting, but none of them are designed for coordinated breach and attack simulation exercises.
So we built SCPTP to match the reality of how these engagements work:
- live execution
- collaborative validation
- structured, repeatable measurement
See It in Action
If you’re planning your next purple team exercise, we can walk you through SCPTP and show exactly how your environment would be measured in real time.
Your SynerComm account manager can schedule a demo or set up a meeting to discuss further.
