Penetration Testing in Santa Fe, NM
Human-led penetration testing for Santa Fe businesses and the systems they run on. Fixed price, audit-ready reports mapped to CMMC 2.0, and a free remediation retest.
What you actually get from a penetration test
CyberFortify runs manual web, API, network and cloud penetration tests for Santa Fe organizations, with findings mapped to CMMC 2.0 and the other frameworks New Mexico businesses answer to.
The value of a penetration test is not the list of issues. It is the proof of which ones chain together into a real compromise. Organizations in Santa Fe, part of Santa Fe 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.
What makes a Santa Fe 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.
We approach Santa Fe the same way an attacker would: find the weak link, prove the impact under control, and document every step so it can be reproduced, fixed and verified.
The threats facing Santa Fe organizations
Risk in New Mexico looks different by industry. For the sectors that anchor Santa Fe, 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 Santa Fe
Pick the services that match your exposure; most Santa Fe clients run two or three together in one engagement.
Web Application Penetration Testing
Authenticated testing that finds what an attacker with a valid login could reach.
Network Penetration Testing
Whether your segmentation holds once someone is already inside the network.
OT & ICS Penetration Testing
IEC 62443-aligned assessment of the plant floor and its SCADA systems.
Social Engineering & Phishing
The human layer tested the way real attackers open the door.
Red Teaming
Goal-based simulation that measures whether detection and response actually fire.
API Penetration Testing
Object-level authorization, token scope and mass assignment across your endpoints.
Evidence for the frameworks New Mexico businesses answer to
These are the frameworks that bite hardest for Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe engineer can fix them and an auditor can accept them. Fixed price, same-day critical escalation, retest included.
Penetration testing in Santa Fe, answered
Is testing done on-site in Santa Fe 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 New Mexico engagements. Where scope is internal network, wireless or physical, we arrange to be on-site and cost the travel transparently.
What should a Santa Fe company budget for a test?
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?
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 Mexico organizations that most often means CMMC 2.0, and we scope to the evidence your assessor expects.
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 Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe companies selling into larger enterprises, a current test plus a completed questionnaire is usually what unblocks the deal.
How quickly can you begin in Santa Fe?
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.
