Penetration Testing in Hobbs, NM
Human-led penetration testing for Hobbs businesses and the systems they run on. 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 Hobbs organizations, with findings mapped to CMMC 2.0 and the other frameworks New Mexico businesses answer to.
Knowing you have vulnerabilities is easy. Knowing which ones an attacker can actually exploit against you is the point of a real test. Organizations in Hobbs across Lea County operate within New Mexico’s economy of energy, national laboratories and defense and aerospace, 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.
Most Hobbs 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 Hobbs: 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 Hobbs organizations
Risk in New Mexico looks different by industry. For the sectors that anchor Hobbs, this is what attackers target and what our testing is built to find.
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 Hobbs
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
Authenticated testing that finds what an attacker with a valid login could reach.
Red Teaming
Not a checklist — a test of whether your team catches the intrusion in time.
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.
Social Engineering & Phishing
Controlled phishing and voice pretexting to measure real click and disclosure rates.
Evidence for the frameworks New Mexico businesses answer to
These are the frameworks that bite hardest for Hobbs 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 Hobbs 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 Hobbs 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 Hobbs engineer can fix them and an auditor can accept them. Fixed price, same-day critical escalation, retest included.
Penetration testing in Hobbs, answered
Do you need to be on-site in Hobbs?
Usually not. Web, API, cloud, mobile and external network testing is delivered remotely from our US-based team, which is how most Hobbs engagements run. Internal network, wireless and physical assessments are the cases where we come on-site, and travel is quoted up front.
What does a penetration test cost for a Hobbs business?
Price follows scope, not location. The variables are the number of applications, cloud accounts, live hosts and user roles in scope. After a 30-minute scoping call we return a fixed price, usually within the hour, and it does not change once work begins.
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 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 Hobbs 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 Hobbs companies selling into larger enterprises, a current test plus a completed questionnaire is usually what unblocks the deal.
How soon can a Hobbs engagement start?
Most Hobbs 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.
