Why it matters locally

A pen testing company in San Diego that can show up

Some tests are better done in person. Wireless testing needs to be in range of your access points, physical testing checks doors, badges and reception, and internal network testing is often simplest from a laptop on your network. Our San Diego headquarters makes on-site work straightforward across the county.

Local requirements shape the scope. Defense suppliers testing for CMMC, credit unions preparing for NCUA exams, retailers who need PCI segmentation testing and biotech firms answering partner security reviews each need different evidence. We scope every test around what you need to prove and to whom.

FAQ

Penetration testing in San Diego, answered

A vulnerability scan is automated and lists known weaknesses. A penetration test uses skilled testers to exploit and chain weaknesses the way an attacker would, which shows real impact and helps rule out false positives.

Yes. We’re headquartered in San Diego and regularly plan on-site work such as wireless, physical and internal network testing. Remote testing covers external systems, applications and cloud.

At least annually and after major changes, such as a new application, office or network redesign. Compliance frameworks and customers often set their own expectations. Our recurring program spreads testing across the year.

We agree on rules of engagement, timing and any systems to avoid before we start. For sensitive environments we test in windows you choose and stay in contact throughout.

It depends on the number of systems, applications and locations in scope, the test types and whether you need on-site work or retesting. We scope after a short call and quote a fixed price.
