Red team rules of engagement define the boundaries, objectives, and communication protocols for an adversary simulation. Key elements include: objective definition (what is the red team trying to achieve?), scope boundaries (which systems, locations, and techniques are in scope?), out-of-bounds systems (production systems with zero tolerance for disruption), communication protocols (emergency contacts, deconfliction procedures), legal authorisation, time constraints, and reporting requirements. Well-defined rules of engagement protect both the organisation and the testing team.
