Internal, external, web application, and cloud penetration testing for NJ, NY, PA, and FL businesses — with compliance-ready reporting for CMMC 2.0, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and cyber insurance.
Trusted by tri-state and South Florida businesses since 2001.
A penetration test is an authorized, simulated cyberattack performed by certified ethical hackers to identify exploitable vulnerabilities in your networks, web applications, cloud environments, and people. On-Site Technology delivers internal, external, web application, and cloud penetration testing services mapped to OWASP, PTES, and NIST SP 800-115 — with an executive summary, technical findings, DREAD risk scoring, remediation guidance, and a free retest of remediated items within 90 days.
If any of these apply to your business, you need a penetration test — not just a vulnerability scan. Our services are designed for NJ, NY, PA, and FL businesses with 10–250 users.
Businesses subject to CMMC 2.0, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, ISO 27001, or NIST CSF that require periodic penetration testing as a control.
Carriers increasingly require annual penetration testing and evidence of remediation before issuing or renewing a cyber policy.
Defense industrial base companies handling CUI who need pen testing evidence for CMMC Level 2 assessments by a C3PAO.
Enterprise customers demanding SOC 2-style proof, third-party risk questionnaires, or attack-surface validation before signing contracts.
Businesses recovering from ransomware, breach, or major cloud migration (Azure, M365, AWS) needing proof of a hardened posture.
Companies that have outgrown automated scanning and need a manual, adversary-emulation view of their real exposure.
Four distinct penetration testing services, each scoped to your environment, compliance drivers, and threat model.
Simulates a malicious insider or a foothold after phishing. Tests lateral movement, privilege escalation, Active Directory paths, segmentation, and sensitive data exposure.
Attacks your internet-facing perimeter the way a real adversary would — exposed services, VPNs, mail, remote access, and public assets mapped via OSINT.
Manual testing aligned to the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide — injection, broken auth, IDOR, SSRF, business-logic flaws, and authenticated role-based testing.
Deep AD attack-path analysis: Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, ACL abuse, delegation paths, tier-0 compromise modeling, and Entra ID hybrid risk.
Every engagement follows a documented seven-phase methodology aligned to the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES), the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG), and NIST SP 800-115.
We define rules of engagement, targets, test windows, authorization, and success criteria. You receive a scoping document and signed authorization letter before any testing begins.
OSINT collection, passive and active reconnaissance, attack-surface mapping, and enumeration of exposed assets, subdomains, and identities.
We map identified assets to adversary objectives and prioritize attack paths most likely to produce business impact — not just CVE counts.
Manual and tool-assisted identification of weaknesses across network, application, cloud, and identity layers. Every finding is validated — no auto-scanner noise.
Authorized exploitation of validated vulnerabilities to demonstrate real business impact. Safe, controlled, and fully logged with zero-disruption guarantees.
We document what an attacker could reach after initial compromise — persistence, privilege escalation, data access, and pivoting across trust boundaries.
Executive summary, technical findings with DREAD scoring, evidence, business impact, remediation guidance, and a free retest of remediated items within 90 days.
Every engagement ends with a deliverable package built to satisfy executives, auditors, engineers, and cyber insurance underwriters.
Board-ready risk summary, overall security posture grade, top business-impact findings, and strategic recommendations — in plain language.
Full detail for every finding: affected asset, proof-of-concept, screenshots, CVSS v3.1 score, DREAD rating, and step-by-step remediation.
Every finding scored across Damage, Reproducibility, Exploitability, Affected Users, and Discoverability — classified Critical, Severe, Moderate, or Low.
Letter of attestation accepted for PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST CSF, SOX, ISO 27001, and CMMC 2.0 evidence — and for cyber insurance underwriters.
Prioritized, business-first remediation recommendations — not generic vendor advice. Your team (or ours) knows exactly what to fix first and why.
Once your team completes remediation, we retest the fixed findings at no additional cost within 90 days and issue an updated attestation letter.
The #1 question buyers ask. They are not the same — and most compliance frameworks require both.
| Vulnerability Scan | Penetration Test | |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Automated tools | Human-led, manual exploitation |
| Validates exploitability? | No — lists potential flaws | Yes — proves real impact |
| False positives | High | Eliminated via manual validation |
| Business-logic flaws | Cannot detect | Core focus |
| Frequency | Weekly or monthly | Annually or after major change |
| Compliance acceptance | Supporting evidence only | Primary evidence (PCI, HIPAA, CMMC) |
| Cost | $ (low, recurring) | $$$ (investment, periodic) |
Bottom line: vulnerability scanners tell you what might be wrong. A penetration test proves what an attacker can actually do with it — and what the business impact would be.
Our penetration testing reports are structured to satisfy auditors, assessors, and underwriters directly — no rewriting required.

The questions NJ, NY, PA, and FL businesses ask before every engagement.
A vulnerability scan is automated and produces a list of potential issues, often with false positives. A penetration test is manual and performed by certified ethical hackers who validate, exploit (with authorization), and chain vulnerabilities together to demonstrate real business impact. Most compliance frameworks — PCI DSS, HIPAA, CMMC, NIST — require a true penetration test, not just scanning.
Industry and regulatory consensus: at least annually, and additionally after any significant change — new application, infrastructure migration, merger, or material network redesign. PCI DSS v4.0, HIPAA, CMMC 2.0 Level 2, SOC 2, and most cyber insurance carriers require annual testing at minimum.
Typical engagements run 1–3 weeks for testing and 1 additional week for reporting. External network tests on small perimeters can complete in under a week; internal + web app + cloud combined assessments for 100–250-user businesses commonly take 3–4 weeks end-to-end.
Yes. We offer external network penetration testing (attacking your perimeter from the public internet) and internal network penetration testing (simulating an insider or a post-phishing foothold). Most mature compliance programs require both — they answer fundamentally different risk questions.
Yes. We perform web application pen testing aligned to the OWASP WSTG, API pen testing against the OWASP API Security Top 10, and cloud pen testing for Microsoft 365, Azure, and AWS — including identity attack paths, misconfigurations, conditional access gaps, and privileged role abuse.
Every report contains: an executive summary for leadership, a technical findings section with evidence and reproduction steps, DREAD risk scoring, CVSS v3.1 ratings, business impact analysis, prioritized remediation guidance, and a compliance-ready attestation letter suitable for auditors and cyber insurance underwriters.
Yes. Every finding includes concrete remediation guidance tailored to your environment — not generic advice. We also include a free retest of remediated findings within 90 days of the initial engagement, along with an updated attestation letter reflecting the fixes.
Yes. Reports are structured to directly satisfy PCI DSS v4.0 Req. 11.4, HIPAA §164.308(a)(8), NIST SP 800-53 CA-8, CMMC 2.0 Level 2 (CA.L2-3.12.1 / 3.12.4), SOC 2 CC7.1, ISO 27001 Annex A.12.6, and cyber insurance questionnaires from major carriers.
Our seven-phase methodology is aligned to the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES), the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG) for application testing, the OWASP API Security Top 10 for APIs, and NIST SP 800-115 for overall planning and execution.
Engagements are scoped with defined rules of engagement, approved test windows, and real-time communication channels. Destructive or high-risk actions require explicit written authorization. In 25+ years of testing, the overwhelming majority of our engagements cause zero operational impact.
Yes. On-Site Technology is headquartered in Clifton, NJ with a second office in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. We provide penetration testing services across Northern and Southern New Jersey, the New York metro, Eastern Pennsylvania, and South Florida, with both on-site and remote testing options.
