Penetration Testing in Dunwoody, GA
Manual, exploit-driven security testing for organizations in Dunwoody. Fixed price, audit-ready reports mapped to PCI DSS 4.0, and a free remediation retest.
Why a scan is not a penetration test
CyberFortify runs manual web, API, network and cloud penetration tests for Dunwoody organizations, with findings mapped to PCI DSS 4.0 and the other frameworks Georgia 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 Dunwoody across DeKalb County operate within Georgia’s economy of logistics and transportation, fintech and payments and film production, 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.
What makes a Dunwoody engagement worth the money is not the automated scan at the start. It is the tester who takes a low-severity information disclosure, pairs it with an over-privileged account, and demonstrates the path that ends somewhere it should never reach. That is the difference between a report you file and a report you act on.
Our Dunwoody engagements are priced up front, run by hand rather than by scanner alone, and closed out with a retest that proves the fixes held — not a second invoice.
The threats facing Dunwoody organizations
The threats that matter in Georgia track the work Dunwoody organizations actually do — here is where compromise tends to start in the sectors that define the local economy.
Logistics and ports
Freight, warehousing and port operators run on transportation-management and load-board systems where a compromised carrier or broker identity turns directly into cargo theft, double-brokering and BEC fraud. Facility operators also face MTSA and TSA security-directive obligations.
We test the TMS, load-board and visibility platforms that coordinate freight, the APIs partners connect through, and the identity paths that let one compromised account redirect a shipment or a payment.
Financial services
Banks, credit unions, insurers, fintechs and payment companies are the most directly targeted sector there is, because the payoff is immediate. Attackers pursue account-takeover, business email compromise and wire fraud, and the systems in scope — online banking, payment APIs, lending platforms — sit under GLBA, the FTC Safeguards Rule and PCI DSS at once.
We test authentication and transaction logic for account-takeover and authorization flaws, payment and API flows for business-logic abuse, and the internal paths a fraudster or compromised employee would take toward money movement and customer data.
Media and entertainment
Media, film and entertainment organizations protect something unusual: pre-release content whose value evaporates the moment it leaks. The perimeter is a chain of vendors — post-production, VFX, review platforms — each holding a copy, and the loss from a single leaked screener is commercial and permanent.
We test review and screener platforms and their storage for authorization and share-link weaknesses, the cloud holding assets, and the vendor-access paths that let an outside partner reach content they should not, using decoy assets rather than real material.
Penetration testing services for Dunwoody
Most engagements combine two or three of these, scoped to where a compromise would cost Dunwoody the most.
Web Application Penetration Testing
Broken access control, cross-tenant authorization and business logic, tested by hand.
Network Penetration Testing
Perimeter exposure and internal domain compromise paths, mapped end to end.
Social Engineering & Phishing
Phishing, vishing and pretexting, run with authorization and measured without blame.
OT & ICS Penetration Testing
Where a compromised business network reaches equipment that moves the physical world.
Red Teaming
A defined objective pursued the way a real adversary would, end to end.
API Penetration Testing
The BOLA, token-lifetime and rate-limit flaws that break APIs in production.
Evidence for the frameworks Georgia businesses answer to
Given Georgia’s logistics, fintech and payments, film production and agriculture, these are the frameworks a Dunwoody engagement most often produces evidence for. One test, evidence for all of them.
PCI DSS 4.0
The annual and post-change testing the standard requires, scoped correctly.
SOC 2
Independent evidence for the Common Criteria and the vendor reviews that gate deals.
HIPAA
Testing the portals, APIs and systems that hold protected health information.
How a Dunwoody 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 PCI DSS 4.0 and the standards Georgia 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 Dunwoody 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 Dunwoody engineer can fix them and an auditor can accept them. Fixed price, same-day critical escalation, retest included.
Penetration testing in Dunwoody, answered
Does the team have to travel to Dunwoody?
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.
How is pricing set for a Dunwoody engagement?
It depends on scope rather than where you are. We count applications, cloud accounts, hosts and distinct roles, then quote one fixed price after a short scoping call — typically within the hour, with no hourly meter afterward.
Can we hand the report straight to our assessor?
It is designed to. Each finding is reproducible, scored and tied to the control it breaks, which is what an assessor needs. For most Georgia businesses the relevant framework is PCI DSS 4.0, and we scope the engagement to it directly.
What do you focus on for Logistics organizations?
We test the TMS, load-board and visibility platforms that coordinate freight, the APIs partners connect through, and the identity paths that let one compromised account redirect a shipment or a payment. In a Dunwoody engagement that usually starts with load-board and tms account abuse 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 Dunwoody companies selling into larger enterprises, a current test plus a completed questionnaire is usually what unblocks the deal.
How soon can a Dunwoody engagement start?
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.
