Penetration Testing in Merrimack, NH
Manual, exploit-driven security testing for organizations in Merrimack. 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 Merrimack organizations, with findings mapped to ISO 27001 and the other frameworks New Hampshire businesses answer to.
A scanner produces a list. A penetration tester produces a path — the specific chain of steps that turns a minor flaw into a breach. Organizations in Merrimack in Hillsborough 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.
The organizations that call us in Merrimack are rarely testing because they want to. They are testing because an enterprise customer sent a security questionnaire, an auditor asked for evidence, or a cyber-insurance renewal now requires it. In every case the useful answer is the same: a manual test that produces findings an engineer can fix and an assessor can accept.
For Merrimack organizations that means a fixed-price engagement with a named tester, critical findings escalated the day we confirm them, and a free retest once your fixes ship.
The threats facing Merrimack organizations
The threats that matter in New Hampshire track the work Merrimack 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.
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.
We test patient portals and their APIs for broken object-level authorization, insecure direct object references and session weaknesses, examine the integrations that move records between systems, and assess whether a compromised clinical workstation can reach data it should never touch.
Penetration testing services for Merrimack
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
Every user role exercised for the authorization and logic flaws scanners miss.
OT & ICS Penetration Testing
Control-network testing that treats safety and uptime as first-order constraints.
Cloud Penetration Testing
The metadata-service, role-assumption and public-bucket mistakes attackers hunt for.
Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Local storage, certificate pinning and the API behind the app.
API Penetration Testing
The BOLA, token-lifetime and rate-limit flaws that break APIs in production.
Network Penetration Testing
Perimeter exposure and internal domain compromise paths, mapped end to end.
Evidence for the frameworks New Hampshire businesses answer to
These are the frameworks that bite hardest for Merrimack businesses, given New Hampshire’s advanced manufacturing, technology and healthcare. We scope one test to satisfy all of them at once.
ISO 27001
The independent testing your ISO auditor expects for technical controls.
CMMC 2.0
Testing the boundary that protects controlled unclassified information.
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 Merrimack 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 Merrimack 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 Merrimack engineer can fix them and an auditor can accept them. Fixed price, same-day critical escalation, retest included.
Penetration testing in Merrimack, answered
Do you need to be on-site in Merrimack?
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 Hampshire 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 Merrimack 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?
Yes. Every finding carries reproduction steps, CVSS v3.1 scoring and a control mapping, so an assessor can trace a requirement to the test that exercised it. For New Hampshire organizations that most often means ISO 27001, and we scope to the evidence your assessor expects.
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 Merrimack engagement that usually starts with it-to-ot pivot paths and works outward from there.
Is penetration testing mandated in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire Data Privacy Act sets a reasonable-security expectation rather than mandating a test explicitly. In practice a recent penetration test is how New Hampshire organizations evidence that the expectation was actually met.
Can you sign our vendor security questionnaire?
Yes. We complete SIG, CAIQ and custom questionnaires and can join the vendor review call. For Merrimack 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 Merrimack?
Most Merrimack 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.
