Penetration Testing in House, NM
Exploit-driven penetration testing for House organizations, reported for engineers and auditors alike. Fixed price, audit-ready reports mapped to CMMC 2.0, and a free remediation retest.
Why a scan is not a penetration test
CyberFortify runs manual web, API, network and cloud penetration tests for House organizations, with findings mapped to CMMC 2.0 and the other frameworks New Mexico businesses answer to.
The value of a penetration test is not the list of issues. It is the proof of which ones chain together into a real compromise. Organizations in House in Quay County operate within New Mexico’s economy of energy, national laboratories and defense and aerospace, and the systems that run that work — customer-facing applications, the APIs beneath them and the networks they sit on — are exactly what CyberFortify is engaged to test.
Businesses in House carry the same exposure as their larger peers elsewhere, often with leaner security teams. Broken access control, authorization logic that trusts the client, and segmentation that exists on a diagram but not in the routing table are the findings that recur — and the ones no scanner reports.
The threats facing House organizations
Risk in New Mexico looks different by industry. For the sectors that anchor House, this is what attackers target and what our testing is built to find.
Energy, oil and gas
Energy, oil-and-gas and chemical operators run industrial control systems and SCADA that were never designed to face the internet, now connected to it through remote-access and business systems. The consequence of compromise is not just data loss but physical process disruption, which is why NERC CIP and IEC 62443 exist.
We test the enterprise environment and its connections into the control network, remote-access paths into field sites, and the segmentation meant to keep an office compromise away from operational systems — without ever putting live processes at risk.
Defense and aerospace suppliers
Defense contractors and aerospace suppliers handle controlled unclassified information and, often, export-controlled technical data under ITAR and EAR. CMMC 2.0 and NIST SP 800-171 now gate the ability to hold DoD contracts at all, and a single subcontractor is a documented path into a much larger program.
We test the boundary protecting controlled unclassified information, the segmentation and access controls NIST SP 800-171 requires, and the insider and exfiltration paths that export-controlled data demands attention to — producing evidence a C3PAO can use.
Penetration testing services for House
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
Manual testing of the session, access-control and logic layers of your web apps.
Social Engineering & Phishing
The human layer tested the way real attackers open the door.
Red Teaming
Goal-based simulation that measures whether detection and response actually fire.
API Penetration Testing
Authorization and data-exposure testing for REST and GraphQL interfaces.
Network Penetration Testing
Whether your segmentation holds once someone is already inside the network.
OT & ICS Penetration Testing
Where a compromised business network reaches equipment that moves the physical world.
Evidence for the frameworks New Mexico businesses answer to
Because New Mexico’s economy runs on energy, national laboratories and defense, and aerospace, House organizations are most often held to these frameworks — a single engagement produces evidence for each.
How a House 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 CMMC 2.0 and the standards New Mexico 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 House 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 House engineer can fix them and an auditor can accept them. Fixed price, same-day critical escalation, retest included.
Penetration testing in House, answered
Is testing done on-site in House 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 New Mexico engagements. Where scope is internal network, wireless or physical, we arrange to be on-site and cost the travel transparently.
What does a penetration test cost for a House business?
Price follows scope, not location. The variables are the number of applications, cloud accounts, live 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 change once work begins.
Can we hand the report straight to our assessor?
That is what the report is built for. Findings come with reproduction, CVSS scores and an explicit mapping to the control they defeat — commonly CMMC 2.0 for New Mexico organizations — so your auditor can accept them without translation.
What do you focus on for Energy organizations?
We test the enterprise environment and its connections into the control network, remote-access paths into field sites, and the segmentation meant to keep an office compromise away from operational systems — without ever putting live processes at risk. In a House engagement that usually starts with remote-access into control networks 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 House companies selling into larger enterprises, a current test plus a completed questionnaire is usually what unblocks the deal.
How soon can a House engagement start?
Lead time is usually one to two weeks once scope is set, less if an audit or customer deadline is pressing. The scoping call is where we lock the price and the date.
