Find out how a hacker sees your business — before a hacker does.
A penetration test is a controlled, authorized attack on your own systems — by someone you hired — to find the holes before criminals do. You get a plain-English report: what’s exposed, how bad it is, and exactly how to fix it.
The difference between a list and a story
The scan says “medium”; the attacker says thanks
Automated scans list vulnerabilities by generic severity. They don’t chain three “mediums” into your file server the way a person does — so the report looks manageable while the path in is wide open.
The front door you forgot you had
An old VPN, a test server, a router with a default password from 2019: external exposure grows by accident, one forgotten device at a time, and none of it appears on anyone’s inventory.
Inside is softer than outside
One phishing click puts an attacker on your internal network — where most small businesses have almost no walls left. What they can reach from a single workstation is the question an internal test answers.
The compliance checkbox, unbacked
HIPAA, PCI, and FTC Safeguards all expect periodic testing. A scan printout from two years ago is not testing, and an auditor — or a breach investigator — will treat it accordingly.
Tested like an attacker, reported like an advisor
External network testing — what an attacker on the internet can see and reach, probed like a criminal would probe it. Internal network testing — what happens after someone gets inside: a phishing click, a rogue device, a disgruntled insider. Web application testing — your website, portals, and web apps, tested for the flaws attackers actually exploit. Wireless security testing — your office WiFi attacked the way a parking-lot attacker would.
You don’t just get a list of vulnerabilities — you get the attack story: how far in a tester got, what it would have cost you, and the fixes in priority order. Tests are scoped and scheduled with you, designed not to disrupt your operations, and priced per engagement up front. To scope a test, call (361) 704-1373.
How it works
- Scoping — what we test, what we won’t touch, scheduled with you
- Testing — controlled, hands-on attack simulation
- Report — findings ranked by real risk, fixes in priority order
- Retest — we verify the fixes worked

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as a vulnerability scan?
No — a scan is automated. A penetration test is hands-on: a real tester trying real attack paths, then verifying what actually works.
Will it disrupt our business?
No — tests are scoped and scheduled with you, and designed not to disrupt your operations.
What does it cost?
Scoped per engagement based on your size and systems — quoted up front before we start.
Do we need this for compliance?
Often yes — HIPAA, PCI, and FTC Safeguards all expect periodic testing. We can bundle it with compliance guidance.
