Penetration Testing in Charlestown, NH
Human-led penetration testing for Charlestown businesses and the systems they run on. Fixed price, audit-ready reports mapped to ISO 27001, and a free remediation retest.
What you actually get from a penetration test
CyberFortify runs manual web, API, network and cloud penetration tests for Charlestown organizations, with findings mapped to ISO 27001 and the other frameworks New Hampshire businesses answer to.
A penetration test answers one question a scan cannot: what could an attacker actually reach, and how far could they get once inside. Organizations in Charlestown in Sullivan County operate within New Hampshire’s economy of advanced manufacturing, technology and healthcare, and the systems that run that work — public applications, internal systems and the cloud infrastructure tying them together — are exactly what CyberFortify is engaged to test.
When a Charlestown company is compromised, the entry point is rarely exotic. It is a reused password, an exposed admin panel, an API that trusts a client-supplied user id. A penetration test finds those the same way an attacker would — by trying, not by guessing from a report.
The threats facing Charlestown organizations
The threats that matter in New Hampshire track the work Charlestown organizations actually do — here is where compromise tends to start in the sectors that define the local economy.
Manufacturing
Manufacturers increasingly run converged IT and operational-technology networks, where a phishing email that lands in the front office can end up on the plant floor. Downtime is measured in lost production, and ransomware operators know it — manufacturing is among the most-targeted sectors for exactly that reason.
We test the corporate network and the boundary between it and the OT environment, following the paths an attacker would use to move from email to ERP to the systems that control production, with safety and uptime treated as hard constraints.
Technology and SaaS
Software and SaaS companies carry a specific risk: a single flaw is multiplied across every customer on the platform. Multi-tenant isolation, API authorization and the cloud infrastructure underneath are the crown jewels, and a SOC 2 report is now the price of entry for selling to any serious buyer.
We test tenant isolation and object-level authorization across accounts, the API surface your product and integrations expose, and the AWS, Azure or Google Cloud configuration that a single leaked key could turn into a full-tenant compromise.
Penetration testing services for Charlestown
Most engagements combine two or three of these, scoped to where a compromise would cost Charlestown the most.
Web Application Penetration Testing
Manual testing of the session, access-control and logic layers of your web apps.
OT & ICS Penetration Testing
IEC 62443-aligned assessment of the plant floor and its SCADA systems.
Cloud Penetration Testing
Configuration and identity review across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Device-side controls and the server they are supposed to protect.
API Penetration Testing
Testing the endpoints your web app, mobile app and partners actually depend on.
Network Penetration Testing
Whether your segmentation holds once someone is already inside the network.
Evidence for the frameworks New Hampshire businesses answer to
Because New Hampshire’s economy runs on advanced manufacturing, technology and healthcare, Charlestown organizations are most often held to these frameworks — a single engagement produces evidence for each.
ISO 27001
Evidence that Annex A controls work, not just that they are documented.
CMMC 2.0
What your C3PAO expects to see before certification.
HIPAA
Testing the portals, APIs and systems that hold protected health information.
Organizations handling personal data in New Hampshire also fall under New Hampshire Data Privacy Act. It does not name penetration testing, but it expects reasonable security to be verified rather than assumed — and after an incident, a recent test is the evidence that it was.
How a Charlestown engagement runs
The same sequence every time, so the result is defensible.
Testing aligns to PTES and NIST SP 800-115, application work follows OWASP, and exploitation maps to MITRE ATT&CK. Automated tooling enumerates the surface; a named tester confirms every finding by hand.
Findings your team can fix and your auditor accepts
Every finding is reproducible, scored in context, and tied to the control it defeats.
The example alongside is illustrative — not from a client engagement — to show how each issue is documented and mapped to ISO 27001 and the standards New Hampshire organizations answer to.
| Ref | Finding | Severity | CVSS |
|---|---|---|---|
| F-01 | IDOR exposes cross-tenant records | Critical | 9.1 |
| F-02 | Over-privileged service account | High | 8.2 |
| F-03 | Session persists after reset | Medium | 5.4 |
| F-04 | Verbose error disclosure | Low | 3.1 |
What sets a Charlestown engagement with us apart
A scan-and-report vendor
Automated output rebadged as a test. Severities the tool assigned, findings you cannot reproduce, no real attempt at authorization logic or privilege escalation — and a report your assessor hands back. The retest is a new invoice.
CyberFortify
A named tester who works the target by hand, chains findings to prove real impact, and writes them so a Charlestown engineer can fix them and an auditor can accept them. Fixed price, same-day critical escalation, retest included.
Penetration testing in Charlestown, answered
Does the team have to travel to Charlestown?
Usually not. Web, API, cloud, mobile and external network testing is delivered remotely from our US-based team, which is how most Charlestown engagements run. Internal network, wireless and physical assessments are the cases where we come on-site, and travel is quoted up front.
What does a penetration test cost for a Charlestown business?
There is no per-city rate; cost tracks the size of the engagement — how many apps, cloud accounts, hosts and roles are in scope. You get a fixed quote after scoping, usually the same hour, and it holds for the agreed work.
Will the report satisfy our auditor?
It is designed to. Each finding is reproducible, scored and tied to the control it breaks, which is what an assessor needs. For most New Hampshire businesses the relevant framework is ISO 27001, and we scope the engagement to it directly.
What do you focus on for Manufacturing organizations?
We test the corporate network and the boundary between it and the OT environment, following the paths an attacker would use to move from email to ERP to the systems that control production, with safety and uptime treated as hard constraints. In a Charlestown engagement that usually starts with it-to-ot pivot paths and works outward from there.
Is penetration testing mandated in New Hampshire?
Not by name. New Hampshire Data Privacy Act requires reasonable security for personal data rather than a specific test, but a current penetration test is the standard way to show that requirement was met if you are ever questioned after a breach.
Can you sign our vendor security questionnaire?
Yes. We complete SIG, CAIQ and custom questionnaires and can join the vendor review call. For Charlestown companies selling into larger enterprises, a current test plus a completed questionnaire is usually what unblocks the deal.
What is the lead time for testing in Charlestown?
Most Charlestown engagements begin one to two weeks out, or faster against a hard deadline. A scoping call gets you a fixed price and a start date the same hour in most cases.
