Penetration Testing in Keene, NH
Human-led penetration testing for Keene businesses and the systems they run on. Fixed price, audit-ready reports mapped to ISO 27001, and a free remediation retest.
Why a scan is not a penetration test
CyberFortify runs manual web, API, network and cloud penetration tests for Keene organizations, with findings mapped to ISO 27001 and the other frameworks New Hampshire businesses answer to.
A scanner produces a list. A penetration tester produces a path — the specific chain of steps that turns a minor flaw into a breach. Organizations in Keene, part of Cheshire County, operate within New Hampshire’s economy of advanced manufacturing, technology and healthcare, and the systems that run that work — customer portals, payment flows, internal networks and the cloud behind them — are exactly what CyberFortify is engaged to test.
When a Keene 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.
That is the work CyberFortify does for Keene: 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 Keene organizations
The threats that matter in New Hampshire track the work Keene organizations actually do — here is where compromise tends to start in the sectors that define the local economy.
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.
Technology and SaaS
Software and SaaS companies carry a specific risk: a single flaw is multiplied across every customer on the platform. Multi-tenant isolation, API authorization and the cloud infrastructure underneath are the crown jewels, and a SOC 2 report is now the price of entry for selling to any serious buyer.
We test tenant isolation and object-level authorization across accounts, the API surface your product and integrations expose, and the AWS, Azure or Google Cloud configuration that a single leaked key could turn into a full-tenant compromise.
Healthcare and providers
Provider groups, clinics and digital-health companies hold protected health information across patient portals, scheduling systems, EHR integrations and a widening fleet of connected devices. A single broken authorization check can expose one patient’s record or an entire panel, and the HIPAA Security Rule treats that exposure as a reportable event with real financial and reputational cost.
We test patient portals and their APIs for broken object-level authorization, insecure direct object references and session weaknesses, examine the integrations that move records between systems, and assess whether a compromised clinical workstation can reach data it should never touch.
Penetration testing services for Keene
Most engagements combine two or three of these, scoped to where a compromise would cost Keene the most.
Web Application Penetration Testing
Authenticated testing that finds what an attacker with a valid login could reach.
Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Local storage, certificate pinning and the API behind the app.
API Penetration Testing
Authorization and data-exposure testing for REST and GraphQL interfaces.
Network Penetration Testing
Whether your segmentation holds once someone is already inside the network.
OT & ICS Penetration Testing
The IT/OT boundary, tested without putting operations at risk.
Cloud Penetration Testing
The metadata-service, role-assumption and public-bucket mistakes attackers hunt for.
Evidence for the frameworks New Hampshire businesses answer to
Given New Hampshire’s advanced manufacturing, technology and healthcare, these are the frameworks a Keene engagement most often produces evidence for. One test, evidence for all of them.
ISO 27001
Evidence that Annex A controls work, not just that they are documented.
CMMC 2.0
Testing the boundary that protects controlled unclassified information.
HIPAA
What a Security Rule evaluation expects: controls verified, not assumed.
Organizations handling personal data in New Hampshire also fall under New Hampshire Data Privacy Act. It does not name penetration testing, but it expects reasonable security to be verified rather than assumed — and after an incident, a recent test is the evidence that it was.
How a Keene 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 New Hampshire 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 Keene 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 Keene engineer can fix them and an auditor can accept them. Fixed price, same-day critical escalation, retest included.
Penetration testing in Keene, answered
Is testing done on-site in Keene or remotely?
Usually not. Web, API, cloud, mobile and external network testing is delivered remotely from our US-based team, which is how most Keene 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 Keene 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.
Will the report satisfy our auditor?
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 New Hampshire organizations that most often means ISO 27001, and we scope to the evidence your assessor expects.
What do you focus on for Manufacturing organizations?
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. In a Keene engagement that usually starts with it-to-ot pivot paths and works outward from there.
Is penetration testing mandated in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire Data Privacy Act sets a reasonable-security expectation rather than mandating a test explicitly. In practice a recent penetration test is how New Hampshire organizations evidence that the expectation was actually met.
Can you sign our vendor security questionnaire?
Yes. We complete SIG, CAIQ and custom questionnaires and can join the vendor review call. For Keene companies selling into larger enterprises, a current test plus a completed questionnaire is usually what unblocks the deal.
How quickly can you begin in Keene?
Lead time is usually one to two weeks once scope is set, less if an audit or customer deadline is pressing. The scoping call is where we lock the price and the date.
