Why offshore

Why hire a Red Team Specialist offshore

Continuous offensive testing needs coordination and judgement, not just tools. A dedicated offshore specialist runs the whole programme cost-effectively, keeping your defences honest year-round.

Whichever hub fits the role — Sri Lanka or the Philippines — TalentDock is the legal employer. We handle contracts, payroll, equipment, IT and HR, and cover the data-protection footing (DPA and the UK IDTA for restricted transfers). Because your hire is employed overseas and works wholly outside the UK, there’s no employer NIC, no auto-enrolment pension, and no IR35 status determination for you to make.

General information, not legal or tax advice — confirm your position with a qualified UK adviser.

The saving

A dedicated Red Team Specialist for up to 70% less

Compared with the true cost of a UK hire — salary, NICs, pension, equipment and recruitment fees — one all-in monthly fee, one invoice.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this a replacement for pentesting?

It’s an upgrade — continuous, crowdsourced testing plus a specialist who manages the programme and turns findings into fixes.

Who fixes what they find?

They prioritise and coordinate remediation with your engineers; the specialist keeps the loop moving.

Is offensive testing safe to run offshore?

Yes — scope, rules of engagement and access are tightly controlled and agreed up front.
