Penetration Testing in Graham, NC
Exploit-driven penetration testing for Graham organizations, reported for engineers and auditors alike. Fixed price, audit-ready reports mapped to PCI DSS 4.0, and a free remediation retest.
What a penetration test is really for
CyberFortify runs manual web, API, network and cloud penetration tests for Graham organizations, with findings mapped to PCI DSS 4.0 and the other frameworks North Carolina businesses answer to.
Security tooling tells you what is theoretically exposed. A penetration test tells you what a capable attacker would actually do with it. Organizations in Graham across Alamance County operate within North Carolina’s economy of banking and finance, biotech and pharma and technology, and the systems that run that work — the web apps, APIs, identity systems and cloud accounts that run day to day — are exactly what CyberFortify is engaged to test.
The findings that change a roadmap are almost never the ones a tool ranks highest. In Graham engagements they are the quiet ones: a session that survives a password reset, a role that can read another tenant, a bucket reachable without the app in front of it. Those take a person to find.
The threats facing Graham organizations
The threats that matter in North Carolina track the work Graham organizations actually do — here is where compromise tends to start in the sectors that define the local economy.
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.
We test authentication and transaction logic for account-takeover and authorization flaws, payment and API flows for business-logic abuse, and the internal paths a fraudster or compromised employee would take toward money movement and customer data.
Life sciences and pharma
Biotech, pharmaceutical and medical-device organizations run on intellectual property — research data, trial results, formulations and device firmware — that is valuable to competitors and nation-state actors alike. Regulated environments add data-integrity obligations under 21 CFR Part 11, where an unauthorized change to a record is as serious as its theft.
We test the applications and cloud environments holding research and trial data, the identity boundaries between research and corporate networks, and, where relevant, the device-to-backend paths that carry regulated data, with data integrity assessed alongside confidentiality.

You rarely need all of these at once — we scope to the systems where a breach would hurt and start there.
Web Application Penetration Testing

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
Perimeter exposure and internal domain compromise paths, mapped end to end.
OT & ICS Penetration Testing
Where a compromised business network reaches equipment that moves the physical world.
Cloud Penetration Testing
Configuration and identity review across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
Evidence for the frameworks North Carolina businesses answer to
Given North Carolina’s banking, biotech and pharma, technology and manufacturing, these are the frameworks a Graham engagement most often produces evidence for. One test, evidence for all of them.
How a Graham 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 PCI DSS 4.0 and the standards North Carolina 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 Graham 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 Graham engineer can fix them and an auditor can accept them. Fixed price, same-day critical escalation, retest included.
Penetration testing in Graham, answered
Is testing done on-site in Graham or remotely?
Most of it is remote. Application, API, cloud and external testing does not require us in the building, and that covers the majority of North Carolina engagements. Where scope is internal network, wireless or physical, we arrange to be on-site and cost the travel transparently.
How is pricing set for a Graham engagement?
It depends on scope rather than where you are. We count applications, cloud accounts, hosts and distinct roles, then quote one fixed price after a short scoping call — typically within the hour, with no hourly meter afterward.
Is the report accepted by auditors and enterprise customers?
It is designed to. Each finding is reproducible, scored and tied to the control it breaks, which is what an assessor needs. For most North Carolina businesses the relevant framework is PCI DSS 4.0, and we scope the engagement to it directly.
What do you focus on for Financial services organizations?
We test authentication and transaction logic for account-takeover and authorization flaws, payment and API flows for business-logic abuse, and the internal paths a fraudster or compromised employee would take toward money movement and customer data. In a Graham engagement that usually starts with account-takeover and mfa bypass and works outward from there.
Can you sign our vendor security questionnaire?
Yes. We complete SIG, CAIQ and custom questionnaires and can join the vendor review call. For Graham companies selling into larger enterprises, a current test plus a completed questionnaire is usually what unblocks the deal.
How quickly can you begin in Graham?
Typically within one to two weeks of agreeing scope, and sooner where a deadline requires it. Book a scoping call and you will have a fixed-price quote and a proposed start date, usually within the hour.
