Penetration Testing in Selma, TX
Manual, exploit-driven security testing for organizations in Selma. 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 Selma organizations, with findings mapped to ISO 27001 and the other frameworks Texas 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 Selma across Bexar County operate within Texas’s economy of energy, technology and healthcare, 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.
The organizations that call us in Selma are rarely testing because they want to. They are testing because an enterprise customer sent a security questionnaire, an auditor asked for evidence, or a cyber-insurance renewal now requires it. In every case the useful answer is the same: a manual test that produces findings an engineer can fix and an assessor can accept.
The threats facing Selma organizations
Risk in Texas looks different by industry. For the sectors that anchor Selma, 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.
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.

API Penetration Testing
Authorization and data-exposure testing for REST and GraphQL interfaces.
Network Penetration Testing
External perimeter and internal Active Directory, tested the way an intruder moves.
Evidence for the frameworks Texas businesses answer to
Given Texas’s energy, technology, healthcare, aerospace and agriculture, these are the frameworks a Selma 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.
SOC 2
The testing behind CC7 that turns a claimed control into a demonstrated one.
HIPAA
Testing the portals, APIs and systems that hold protected health information.
Organizations handling personal data in Texas also fall under Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA). 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 Selma 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 Texas 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 Selma 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 Selma engineer can fix them and an auditor can accept them. Fixed price, same-day critical escalation, retest included.
Penetration testing in Selma, answered
Is testing done on-site in Selma 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 Texas engagements. Where scope is internal network, wireless or physical, we arrange to be on-site and cost the travel transparently.
What does a penetration test cost for a Selma business?
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 Texas organizations that most often means ISO 27001, 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 Selma engagement that usually starts with remote-access into control networks and works outward from there.
Is penetration testing mandated in Texas?
Not by name. Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) requires reasonable security for personal data rather than a specific test, but a current penetration test is the standard way to show that requirement was met if you are ever questioned after a breach.
Can you sign our vendor security questionnaire?
Yes. We complete SIG, CAIQ and custom questionnaires and can join the vendor review call. For Selma companies selling into larger enterprises, a current test plus a completed questionnaire is usually what unblocks the deal.
How quickly can you begin in Selma?
Most Selma 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.
