Red Team Assessment

Severine

What are the key points that should be discussed and asked suppliers to confirm if their approach towards Red Team assessment is the most suitable one?

I think that you must have a mature IS program before Red Teaming is really worthwhile. 

You need to distinguish(very roughly) between:
audit: do a verifcation based on a checklist...
vuln assessment: use vuln scanner to find  vuln but not exploiting it self
pentest: epxloit those vulnerabiliy..
red teaming: red teaming is a pentest, but it is also a test of your detection capacity. if you dont have a blue team, then red teaming is not really useful.

If it is one of your first foray into IS, then start with the basic, then vuln assessment and pentest.
