Overview
US buyers usually need a penetration test to close enterprise deals, pass SOC 2 or PCI DSS audits, renew cyber insurance or meet rules such as the FTC Safeguards Rule and NYDFS Part 500. We deliver remotely from India, agree testing windows around your US time zone at scoping, quote fixed prices in USD and write reports for US auditors, customers and boards.
A penetration test is an authorized, simulated attack on your systems. Our testers think like real adversaries: they map your attack surface, chain weaknesses together and prove what an attacker could actually achieve — reading other customers' data, taking over admin accounts or reaching your crown-jewel systems.
Automated scanners are good at finding known issues at scale, but most serious breaches start with flaws only a human can find: broken authorization, abusable business logic and small misconfigurations that combine into a critical path. That is why our engagements are manual-first, with tooling used to extend coverage — not to replace thinking.
Every engagement is scoped to your risk and compliance goals, delivered by experienced testers, and closed out with a retest so you can show auditors and customers that issues were fixed.
How testing works for US organizations
- Signed scope and written authorization before any testing, including hosting and cloud provider permissions
- Testing windows agreed around your US time zone at scoping, including after-hours windows for production
- Fully remote delivery, with internal and wireless access via VPN or a shipped test device, so no travel costs
- Reports mapped to SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA and customer questionnaires, with a fixed price in USD
What's included
Our approach
- Scoping & rules of engagementWe agree targets, exclusions, test windows, accounts and escalation contacts, then confirm in a fixed-price statement of work.
- Reconnaissance & mappingWe enumerate the attack surface — hosts, endpoints, roles, technologies and data flows.
- Manual testing & exploitationTesters attack each area by hand, safely exploiting and chaining issues to prove impact.
- Reporting & debriefYou receive an executive summary, risk-rated findings with reproduction steps, and a walkthrough with your engineers.
- Retest & attestationWe verify fixes and issue an updated report and attestation letter for customers or auditors.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a penetration test take?
Most single-application or small-network tests take one to three weeks including reporting. Larger, multi-asset programs are scheduled in phases.
Will testing disrupt our production systems?
We test safely, avoid denial-of-service techniques unless explicitly agreed, and recommend a production-like staging environment where possible. Critical issues are reported to you immediately.
What do you need from us to start?
A signed scope and authorization, test accounts for each user role, access details (VPN, allow-listed IPs) and any documentation such as API specifications.
Do you provide a report we can share with customers?
Yes. Alongside the full technical report you receive an executive summary and, after retesting, an attestation letter suitable for sharing under NDA.
Are you a PCI QSA or ASV, FedRAMP 3PAO or CMMC C3PAO?
No. We don't claim any of those statuses on this site. Most penetration tests for SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS Requirement 11.4, the FTC Safeguards Rule and customer due diligence don't require them. If your contract, assessor or program requires a specific accredited provider, tell us at scoping and we'll say plainly whether we can meet it. See US compliance requirements.
Do you quote in US dollars?
Yes. US proposals are fixed-price and quoted in USD, with scope, effort, deliverables and payment terms set out in writing before work starts. See our US pricing guide for published market ranges.
