Penetration Testing in Florida
Manual, exploit-driven penetration testing for organizations across Florida. Audit-ready reports mapped to PCI DSS 4.0, fixed price, free remediation retest.
Security testing built for Florida’s economy
Florida’s economy runs on tourism and hospitality, aerospace, healthcare, finance and logistics, and the organizations behind it carry the same exposure as their larger peers elsewhere — often with leaner security teams. CyberFortify runs manual web, API, network and cloud penetration tests for Florida businesses, with findings mapped to PCI DSS 4.0 and the other frameworks they answer to.
A penetration test answers the question a scan cannot: what an attacker could actually reach, and how far they could get once inside. Every finding is exploit-proven, CVSS-scored and tied to the control it defeats — written so your engineers can fix it and your auditor can accept it.
The threats facing Florida organizations
Risk in Florida looks different by industry. These are the sectors we most often test, and what an attacker targets in each.
Hospitality and tourism
Hotels, resorts, casinos and travel operators combine high card-payment volume with guest personal data and a workforce that turns over constantly. Property-management systems, booking platforms and point-of-sale are the targets, and social engineering against front-desk and help-desk staff is a favored way in.
Aviation and aerospace
Aviation and aerospace operations combine safety-critical systems, complex supply chains and, frequently, defense work. The attack surface runs from corporate IT through manufacturing OT to the specialized systems that move aircraft, cargo and people, each with its own regulator watching.
Healthcare and providers
Provider groups, clinics and digital-health companies hold protected health information across patient portals, scheduling systems, EHR integrations and a widening fleet of connected devices. A single broken authorization check can expose one patient’s record or an entire panel, and the HIPAA Security Rule treats that exposure as a reportable event with real financial and reputational cost.
Financial services
Banks, credit unions, insurers, fintechs and payment companies are the most directly targeted sector there is, because the payoff is immediate. Attackers pursue account-takeover, business email compromise and wire fraud, and the systems in scope — online banking, payment APIs, lending platforms — sit under GLBA, the FTC Safeguards Rule and PCI DSS at once.
Penetration testing services across Florida
Most engagements combine two or three, scoped to where a compromise would cost you most.
Web Application Penetration Testing
Broken access control, cross-tenant authorization, and the business logic flaws no scanner has a signature for.
API Penetration Testing
Broken object-level authorization, token scope and lifetime, mass assignment, and rate-limit bypass.
Network Penetration Testing
Credential paths, lateral movement, privilege escalation, and whether segmentation holds under pressure.
Cloud Penetration Testing
Over-broad IAM, exposed storage, metadata service access, and escalation from one compromised workload.
Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Local data storage, certificate pinning, and the backend once client-side controls are bypassed.
Red Teaming
Goal-based simulation that measures whether your team catches the attempt before it succeeds.
Evidence for the frameworks Florida businesses answer to
Given Florida’s tourism and hospitality, aerospace, healthcare, finance and logistics, these are the frameworks a test most often produces evidence for. One engagement, evidence for all of them.
PCI DSS 4.0
Requirement 11.4 internal and external testing, plus segmentation validation where you rely on it.
HIPAA
The technical half of a Security Rule risk analysis for providers, payers and digital health.
SOC 2
Independent testing evidence for the Common Criteria and the vendor questionnaires that gate enterprise deals.
Organizations handling personal data in Florida also fall under Florida Digital Bill of Rights (FDBR), which expects reasonable security to be verified rather than assumed — and after an incident, a recent test is the evidence that it was.

Penetration testing in Florida, answered
Do you need to be on-site in Florida?
Usually not. Web, API, cloud and external network testing is delivered remotely from our US-based team, which covers most Florida engagements. Internal network, wireless and physical work is arranged on-site, with travel quoted up front.
What does a penetration test cost in Florida?
Price follows scope, not location — the number of applications, cloud accounts, hosts and user roles in scope. After a 30-minute scoping call we return a fixed price, usually within the hour, and it does not move once work begins.
Will the report satisfy our auditor?
Yes. Every finding carries reproduction steps, CVSS v3.1 scoring and a control mapping. For Florida organizations that most often means PCI DSS 4.0, and we scope to the evidence your assessor expects.
Does Florida law require security testing?
Florida does not name penetration testing outright, but Florida Digital Bill of Rights (FDBR) expects reasonable security for personal data to be maintained and verified. A recent test is how organizations evidence that after an incident.
Test your Florida systems before someone else does.
A 30-minute scoping call gets you a fixed price and a start date, usually within the hour.
