Network Penetration Testing for SaaS Companies in Omaha

 

SaaS companies in Omaha and across Nebraska are attractive targets for cybercriminals. Attackers know your revenue depends on uptime, customer trust, and the confidentiality of tenant data. Techniques such as phishing, malware, password attacks, SQL injection, and ransomware are all used to gain access to application backends, customer environments, and the cloud infrastructure that powers your platform.

The financial impact is far from theoretical. The median reported cost of a data breach reached $4.24M in 2021 according to this study—and that excludes many incidents that are never disclosed. For a growing SaaS provider in Omaha’s tech corridor, a serious breach can mean regulatory issues, churn, and stalled growth.

To avoid learning about your weaknesses from an attacker, organizations need to regularly review, test, and upgrade their cybersecurity controls. This is where network penetration testing for SaaS environments becomes essential.

Network penetration testing (or “net-pen testing”) is a controlled, ethical hacking exercise where specialists simulate real-world attacks against your cloud networks, corporate network, VPNs, firewalls, and connectivity to production SaaS infrastructure. The objective is to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and risky access paths before someone with worse intentions does.

For SaaS companies, a well-executed penetration test helps you:

• Reduce the risk of data breaches affecting customer tenants and shared infrastructure
• Validate the effectiveness of existing security controls such as WAFs, IDS/IPS, and zero-trust access
• Support compliance efforts (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI, etc.) with evidence-based testing
• Demonstrate due diligence to customers, investors, and regulators

Network Penetration Testing Methodology

 

OCD Tech follows a structured, repeatable penetration testing methodology aligned with industry best practices. For SaaS providers, this means safely simulating how an attacker would move from the public internet or a compromised workstation toward your most sensitive data and services.

Our approach typically includes:

• Passive Reconnaissance – Quietly gathering information about your external presence, domains, IP ranges, and exposed services without direct interaction.
• Active Reconnaissance – Safely probing identified systems and cloud assets to map open ports, services, and potential entry points.
• Social Engineering – (If in scope) Testing how well your people, processes, and SaaS admin workflows resist phishing and other human-focused attacks.
• Exploitation – Attempting to exploit discovered vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to gain initial access, always within agreed rules of engagement.
• Post-Exploitation – Assessing what an attacker could do after gaining a foothold, such as accessing internal tools, CI/CD systems, or management interfaces.
• Privilege Escalation – Attempting to elevate access from a regular user or compromised service account to admin or root-level control.
• Lateral Movement – Testing how easily an attacker could move across your on-prem network, cloud networks, or between SaaS environments and corporate systems.
• Maintaining Access – Demonstrating how persistent access could be established, highlighting gaps in detection and response.
• Covering Tracks – Showing whether logging, monitoring, and alerting would detect or miss common attacker behaviors.
• Reporting – Delivering a clear, prioritized report and debrief, including technical details for engineers and executive-level summaries for leadership.

This methodology supports Red Team and assumed-compromise style assessments when needed, helping you test not only defenses (Blue Team) but also how well your monitoring and incident response capabilities (Purple Team exercises) detect and contain realistic threats.
