Penetration Testing in Dexter, MI
Exploit-driven penetration testing for Dexter organizations, reported for engineers and auditors alike. Fixed price, audit-ready reports mapped to ISO 27001, and a free remediation retest.
What a penetration test is really for
CyberFortify runs manual web, API, network and cloud penetration tests for Dexter organizations, with findings mapped to ISO 27001 and the other frameworks Michigan 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 Dexter across Washtenaw County operate within Michigan’s economy of automotive and mobility, advanced manufacturing and healthcare, 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.
When a Dexter company is compromised, the entry point is rarely exotic. It is a reused password, an exposed admin panel, an API that trusts a client-supplied user id. A penetration test finds those the same way an attacker would — by trying, not by guessing from a report.
The threats facing Dexter organizations
The threats that matter in Michigan track the work Dexter organizations actually do — here is where compromise tends to start in the sectors that define the local economy.
Automotive and mobility
Automotive manufacturers, suppliers and dealer networks span plant-floor OT, connected-vehicle data and dealer systems holding customer finance information. ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155 now set expectations for cybersecurity across the vehicle lifecycle and its supply chain.
We test the manufacturing environment and its IT boundary, the platforms and APIs handling connected-vehicle and customer data, and the dealer-facing systems where personal and financial information concentrates.
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.
Penetration testing services for Dexter
Pick the services that match your exposure; most Dexter clients run two or three together in one engagement.
Web Application Penetration Testing
Broken access control, cross-tenant authorization and business logic, tested by hand.
Cloud Penetration Testing
Configuration and identity review across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
Mobile Application Penetration Testing
What a decompiled build and a bypassed pin reveal about your mobile app.
API Penetration Testing
The BOLA, token-lifetime and rate-limit flaws that break APIs in production.
Network Penetration Testing
Credential paths, lateral movement and the privilege escalation that follows a foothold.
OT & ICS Penetration Testing
Control-network testing that treats safety and uptime as first-order constraints.
Evidence for the frameworks Michigan businesses answer to
Because Michigan’s economy runs on automotive and mobility, advanced manufacturing and healthcare, Dexter organizations are most often held to these frameworks — a single engagement produces evidence for each.
How a Dexter 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 Michigan 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 Dexter 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 Dexter engineer can fix them and an auditor can accept them. Fixed price, same-day critical escalation, retest included.
Penetration testing in Dexter, answered
Is testing done on-site in Dexter 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 Michigan 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 Dexter engagement?
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.
Can we hand the report straight to our assessor?
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 Michigan organizations that most often means ISO 27001, and we scope to the evidence your assessor expects.
What do you focus on for Automotive organizations?
We test the manufacturing environment and its IT boundary, the platforms and APIs handling connected-vehicle and customer data, and the dealer-facing systems where personal and financial information concentrates. In a Dexter engagement that usually starts with plant-floor ot exposure 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 Dexter 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 Dexter?
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.
