Penetration Testing in Silver, NM
Manual, exploit-driven security testing for organizations in Silver. Fixed price, audit-ready reports mapped to CMMC 2.0, and a free remediation retest.
What a penetration test is really for
CyberFortify runs manual web, API, network and cloud penetration tests for Silver organizations, with findings mapped to CMMC 2.0 and the other frameworks New Mexico 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 Silver in Grant 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.
Most Silver organizations already run vulnerability scans and still get breached, because the two do different jobs. A scan flags a missing patch; it does not notice that a forgotten staging server shares credentials with production. Chaining those is the work, and it is done by hand.
That is the work CyberFortify does for Silver: a named tester, manual exploitation, and a report written so your engineers can fix what we found and your auditor can accept that it was fixed.
The threats facing Silver organizations
The threats that matter in New Mexico track the work Silver organizations actually do — here is where compromise tends to start in the sectors that define the local economy.
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.
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.
We test corporate and manufacturing environments and the boundaries between them, supplier-facing systems and the identity that governs them, and the specific applications your operation depends on, mapping findings to the standards your sector answers to.
Penetration testing services for Silver
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
Broken access control, cross-tenant authorization and business logic, tested by hand.
API Penetration Testing
Testing the endpoints your web app, mobile app and partners actually depend on.
Network Penetration Testing
Credential paths, lateral movement and the privilege escalation that follows a foothold.
OT & ICS Penetration Testing
IEC 62443-aligned assessment of the plant floor and its SCADA systems.
Social Engineering & Phishing
Controlled phishing and voice pretexting to measure real click and disclosure rates.
Red Teaming
A defined objective pursued the way a real adversary would, end to end.
Evidence for the frameworks New Mexico businesses answer to
These are the frameworks that bite hardest for Silver businesses, given New Mexico’s energy, national laboratories and defense, and aerospace. We scope one test to satisfy all of them at once.
How a Silver 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 Silver 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 Silver engineer can fix them and an auditor can accept them. Fixed price, same-day critical escalation, retest included.
Penetration testing in Silver, answered
Do you need to be on-site in Silver?
For the common cases, no. Anything reachable over the internet — web, API, cloud, external network — is tested remotely. On-site is reserved for internal, wireless and physical work, and we agree it and its cost during scoping.
What should a Silver company budget for a test?
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 Mexico businesses the relevant framework is CMMC 2.0, and we scope the engagement to it directly.
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 Silver 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 Silver companies selling into larger enterprises, a current test plus a completed questionnaire is usually what unblocks the deal.
How quickly can you begin in Silver?
Most Silver 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.
