Network Penetration Testing for IT Managed Services Providers (MSPs) companies in Puerto Rico
Network Penetration Testing for IT Managed Services Providers in San Juan, Puerto Rico
IT Managed Services Providers (MSPs) in San Juan and across Puerto Rico are on the front line of cyber risk. You host, manage, and support critical systems and data for your clients, which makes your own networks – and theirs – valuable targets for cybercriminals. Threats such as malware, phishing, password attacks, SQL injection, and ransomware are routinely used to steal data, disrupt services, and damage reputation.
The financial impact is not theoretical. In 2021, the median cost of a data breach reached $4.24M, according to industry research. Those figures cover only reported incidents; in practice, the real cost is often higher, especially for MSPs that may be held responsible for downstream client impact.
For MSPs in Puerto Rico, this means regular, independent cybersecurity testing is no longer optional. Your clients expect proof that your defenses, configurations, and monitoring are effective. This is where network penetration testing becomes essential.
What Is Network Penetration Testing for MSPs?
Network penetration testing (net-pen testing) is a controlled, ethical hacking exercise where security professionals simulate real-world cyberattacks against your IT environment. For MSPs, this typically includes:
Internal and external networks (data centers, offices, remote access, VPNs)
Client-facing infrastructure you manage (firewalls, cloud environments, remote management tools)
Identity and access paths (Active Directory, privileged accounts, MFA implementations)
The objective is to identify and safely exploit vulnerabilities before an attacker does, then provide clear, prioritized guidance for remediation. For MSPs, this helps:
Reduce the risk of a compromise that could cascade across multiple client environments
Validate existing security controls and monitoring (your Blue Team and SOC capabilities)
Demonstrate due diligence for regulators, auditors, and enterprise clients
Strengthen contracts and SLAs with tangible proof of IT security assessment efforts
Puerto Rico Network Penetration Testing Experience
OCD Tech provides network penetration testing services to MSPs and their clients in San Juan and across Puerto Rico. Our team combines IT Risk Advisory, cybersecurity consulting, and hands-on penetration testing experience across sectors such as financial services, healthcare, government, manufacturing, and professional services.
For MSPs, we understand the realities you operate in: multi-tenant environments, legacy systems you inherited, third-party remote tools, and demanding uptime SLAs. Our approach focuses on:
Realistic attack paths an adversary would use to move from your environment into client networks
Configuration reviews of firewalls, VPNs, RMM tools, and identity platforms
Insider threat and assumed compromise scenarios, testing how far an attacker can go once inside
Actionable reporting tailored for both technical teams and non-technical leadership
The result is not just a list of issues, but a practical roadmap to harden your MSP environment and reduce risk to your clients.
Network Penetration Testing Methodology
OCD Tech follows a structured, repeatable methodology to assess San Juan and Puerto Rico-based MSP networks. While the work is technical, the process is straightforward and transparent. Typical activities include:
Passive Reconnaissance – Quietly gathering information about your public footprint, exposed services, and technology stack without direct interaction.
Active Reconnaissance – Scanning and probing systems to identify open ports, services, and potential vulnerabilities on internal and external networks.
Social Engineering (where in scope) – Testing how well your users and helpdesk resist phishing, credential harvesting, and related attacks.
Exploitation – Safely leveraging identified weaknesses to gain access, mimicking real-world hacking attempts.
Post-Exploitation – Assessing what an attacker could do after access is gained (data exposure, system control, client impact).
Privilege Escalation – Attempting to move from standard user to administrator or domain-level control.
Lateral Movement – Testing whether an attacker can pivot between systems, including paths from MSP infrastructure into client environments.
Maintaining Access – Evaluating how persistent an attacker could remain inside your network without detection.
Covering Tracks – Reviewing where logs, monitoring, or controls might fail to detect or record malicious activity.
Reporting and Executive Briefing – Delivering a clear, prioritized report and walkthrough, including technical detail for engineers and high-level risk insights for management.
Throughout the engagement, we coordinate closely with your team to minimize operational impact while still performing a realistic and rigorous security assessment.
