Penetration Testing in Reno, NV
Exploit-driven penetration testing for Reno organizations, reported for engineers and auditors alike. Fixed price, audit-ready reports mapped to PCI DSS 4.0, and a free remediation retest.
What you actually get from a penetration test
CyberFortify runs manual web, API, network and cloud penetration tests for Reno organizations, with findings mapped to PCI DSS 4.0 and the other frameworks Nevada businesses answer to.
Every organization assumes its controls work. A penetration test is how you find out whether they do before someone else does. Organizations in Reno in Washoe County operate within Nevada’s economy of tourism, gaming and hospitality, logistics and warehousing and mining, 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 Reno 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.
For Reno organizations that means a fixed-price engagement with a named tester, critical findings escalated the day we confirm them, and a free retest once your fixes ship.
The threats facing Reno organizations
Risk in Nevada looks different by industry. For the sectors that anchor Reno, this is what attackers target and what our testing is built to find.
Hospitality and tourism
Hotels, resorts, casinos and travel operators combine high card-payment volume with guest personal data and a workforce that turns over constantly. Property-management systems, booking platforms and point-of-sale are the targets, and social engineering against front-desk and help-desk staff is a favored way in.
We test booking and property-management platforms and their payment paths, the APIs behind loyalty and reservation systems, and — with authorization — the human layer that attackers exploit to reset a credential or gain physical access.
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.
Mining and resources
Mining and resource operations combine remote sites, heavy operational technology and high-value logistics. Automation and remote monitoring have connected once-isolated equipment, and the custody and reconciliation systems tracking extracted value are their own target.
We test the business systems and their links to remote operational sites, the remote-monitoring and control paths, and the reconciliation and logistics systems where high-value material is tracked.

Evidence for the frameworks Nevada businesses answer to
Because Nevada’s economy runs on tourism, gaming and hospitality, logistics and mining, Reno organizations are most often held to these frameworks — a single engagement produces evidence for each.
PCI DSS 4.0
Evidence for your QSA that the cardholder environment was actually tested.
SOC 2
Independent evidence for the Common Criteria and the vendor reviews that gate deals.
ISO 27001
Annex A 8.29 verification for organizations certifying to the 2022 revision.
Organizations handling personal data in Nevada also fall under Nevada SB 220 and the state health data law. 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 Reno 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 Nevada 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 Reno 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 Reno engineer can fix them and an auditor can accept them. Fixed price, same-day critical escalation, retest included.
Penetration testing in Reno, answered
Do you need to be on-site in Reno?
Usually not. Web, API, cloud, mobile and external network testing is delivered remotely from our US-based team, which is how most Reno engagements run. Internal network, wireless and physical assessments are the cases where we come on-site, and travel is quoted up front.
What should a Reno company budget for a test?
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?
That is what the report is built for. Findings come with reproduction, CVSS scores and an explicit mapping to the control they defeat — commonly PCI DSS 4.0 for Nevada organizations — so your auditor can accept them without translation.
What do you focus on for Hospitality organizations?
We test booking and property-management platforms and their payment paths, the APIs behind loyalty and reservation systems, and — with authorization — the human layer that attackers exploit to reset a credential or gain physical access. In a Reno engagement that usually starts with pos and payment-path exposure and works outward from there.
Is penetration testing mandated in Nevada?
Nevada SB 220 and the state health data law sets a reasonable-security expectation rather than mandating a test explicitly. In practice a recent penetration test is how Nevada 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 Reno companies selling into larger enterprises, a current test plus a completed questionnaire is usually what unblocks the deal.
How quickly can you begin in Reno?
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.
