Network Penetration Testing for SaaS Companies in San Juan, Puerto Rico

 

SaaS companies in San Juan and across Puerto Rico are prime targets for cybercriminals because they host and process large volumes of customer data, payment information, and business-critical records in the cloud. Attacks such as malware, phishing, password attacks, SQL injection, and ransomware are routinely used to hijack user accounts, disrupt services, and exfiltrate sensitive data from multi-tenant platforms.

The financial impact is substantial. In 2021, the median reported cost of a data breach reached $4.24M (source), and this only reflects incidents that were voluntarily disclosed. Actual losses, including downtime, customer churn, and reputational damage, are often higher—especially for subscription-based SaaS businesses that depend on customer trust and platform availability.

For SaaS providers operating in Puerto Rico, this also intersects with U.S. and international regulatory requirements, such as data protection obligations for customers based in the mainland U.S., Latin America, and Europe. To keep pace, organizations must regularly review, test, and upgrade their cybersecurity controls, ensuring that identity, access, and network protections actually work under realistic attack conditions.

Network penetration testing (net-pen testing) is a controlled, ethical hacking engagement where security specialists simulate real-world attacks on your SaaS infrastructure—both cloud and on-premise. The objective is to identify vulnerabilities before attackers do, validate the effectiveness of security controls, and provide leadership with a clear, prioritized roadmap to reduce risk.

 

Network Penetration Testing Experience in Puerto Rico

 

OCD Tech provides network penetration testing services to SaaS companies in San Juan and throughout Puerto Rico. Our team delivers IT security assessments and cybersecurity consulting for organizations across multiple industries, including technology, finance, healthcare, and professional services.

We combine practical offensive security experience with a strong understanding of cloud-native architectures commonly used by SaaS providers (e.g., API-driven backends, containerized workloads, and identity-centric access models). This allows us to tailor each penetration test to your actual environment—whether you operate fully in the cloud, in a hybrid model, or maintain critical infrastructure in local Puerto Rican data centers.

The result is not just a list of vulnerabilities, but a clear, actionable security assessment that highlights where attackers are most likely to succeed, how they could move laterally through your systems, and what concrete steps you should take to harden your environment.

 

Network Penetration Testing Methodology for SaaS Environments

 

OCD Tech follows a structured and repeatable methodology to assess the network and cloud security posture of San Juan–based SaaS companies. Each engagement is aligned with realistic threat scenarios, such as stolen user credentials, misconfigured cloud services, or exposed APIs.

Our testing approach typically includes:

• Passive Reconnaissance – Quietly gathering information about your public-facing SaaS infrastructure, domains, IP ranges, and exposed services without direct interaction whenever possible.
• Active Reconnaissance – Safely probing identified systems to discover open ports, services, and potential misconfigurations in your network and cloud environment.
• Social Engineering (where in-scope) – Assessing how susceptible your staff or support workflows may be to phishing or impersonation attempts that target SaaS admin portals or cloud consoles.
• Exploitation – Attempting to exploit identified weaknesses (e.g., vulnerable services, weak authentication, insecure APIs, or flawed access controls) to gain unauthorized access.
• Post-Exploitation – Demonstrating what an attacker could do after gaining a foothold, such as accessing customer data, internal admin tools, or shared development resources.
• Privilege Escalation – Testing whether basic access can be escalated to higher-privilege roles (e.g., super-admin accounts, cloud root access, or database owners) through configuration weaknesses.
• Lateral Movement – Evaluating how easily an attacker could move across your environment—between microservices, databases, cloud accounts, or office networks connected to your SaaS platform.
• Maintaining Access – Identifying ways an attacker could persist in your systems (e.g., backdoor accounts, misused tokens, or unattended admin tools) without attracting attention.
• Covering Tracks – Reviewing your logging, monitoring, and alerting capabilities to determine whether malicious actions would be detected—or remain effectively invisible.
• Reporting – Delivering a clear, non-technical executive summary plus detailed technical findings, including risk ratings, business impact, and prioritized remediation guidance aligned with your SaaS operations and compliance needs.

Throughout the engagement, we operate as a trusted partner—essentially a controlled Red Team—while helping your internal security or IT staff (your Blue Team) understand how to detect, respond to, and prevent similar attacks in the future.
