Network Penetration Testing for SaaS companies in Wilmington (DE)
Network Penetration Testing for SaaS Companies in Wilmington, DE
Software-as-a-Service companies in Wilmington and across Delaware handle large volumes of customer data, payment details, and application credentials. That makes them attractive targets for ransomware gangs, account takeover attempts, API abuse, and supply chain attacks. Common techniques include phishing, credential stuffing, malware, SQL injection, and attacks on cloud infrastructure that hosts multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
The financial and reputational impact of a breach is significant. In 2021 the median reported cost per data breach reached $4.24M (source), and that only reflects incidents that were disclosed. For a SaaS provider relying on recurring revenue and long-term subscriptions, a serious security incident can rapidly lead to churn, regulatory investigations, and contract terminations.
To stay ahead of these risks, SaaS organizations need to regularly test, validate, and improve their IT security controls across on-premise networks, cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), and third-party integrations.
Network penetration testing (or net-pen testing) is a controlled, ethical hacking exercise where security specialists simulate real-world cyberattacks against your infrastructure. For SaaS companies, this typically includes internal and external networks, VPNs, identity providers, CI/CD pipelines, and the cloud networks that support your platforms and APIs. The objective is to identify and safely exploit vulnerabilities before a real attacker does.
Penetration testing results give leadership and technical teams a clear, prioritized view of risk so they can:
Reduce the likelihood of a data breach affecting tenants and customers
Validate existing security controls such as firewalls, IDS/IPS, endpoint protection, and identity management
Support compliance efforts with frameworks and regulations commonly impacting SaaS organizations, such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and state-level privacy and breach-notification laws
Demonstrate security due diligence to customers, investors, and regulators in Delaware and beyond
Wilmington SaaS Penetration Testing Experience
OCD Tech provides network penetration testing and broader IT security assessment services to SaaS companies and technology-driven organizations in Wilmington and across Delaware. Our team combines hands-on penetration testing expertise with experience in IT risk advisory, cloud security, and secure software development.
We work with startups and established SaaS providers operating in areas such as fintech, healthcare, legal tech, logistics, and enterprise platforms, including organizations influenced by the regulatory and financial ecosystem around Wilmington’s banking and corporate services sectors.
Our approach goes beyond simply running tools and handing over a report. We focus on:
Realistic attack scenarios that mirror how threat actors would target your SaaS stack, from external perimeter to internal services and production data
Cloud-aware testing aligned with your hosting model, including VPC design, identity and access management, and configuration review of key services
Actionable remediation guidance with clear, prioritized steps for engineering, DevOps, and security teams
Executive-ready findings written in business language your leadership and board can understand and act on
The result is a comprehensive penetration test that not only exposes weaknesses, misconfigurations, and insider threat paths, but also provides expert insight into how to close those gaps efficiently without slowing down your product roadmap.
Network Penetration Testing Methodology
OCD Tech uses a structured, repeatable penetration testing methodology that blends automated tooling with targeted manual testing. For SaaS organizations, this includes both the traditional corporate network and the infrastructure supporting your applications.
Key components of our methodology include:
Passive Reconnaissance – Quietly gathering publicly available information about your organization, domains, IP ranges, cloud footprints, and exposed services without direct interaction where possible.
Active Reconnaissance – Directly interacting with your systems and services to identify open ports, running services, potential misconfigurations, and exposed APIs or management interfaces.
Social Engineering (where in scope) – Testing people and processes, such as phishing simulations or voice-based attacks, to assess how easily an attacker could gain user credentials or initial access.
Exploitation – Attempting to exploit identified vulnerabilities in a controlled manner, including weaknesses in network services, authentication, segmentation, or cloud access controls.
Post-Exploitation – Assessing the potential impact once access is gained, such as reaching internal management consoles, databases, CI/CD tools, or tenant data.
Privilege Escalation – Attempting to increase access from a standard user to administrative or root-level control, including lateral escalation across integrated SaaS and corporate systems.
Lateral Movement – Testing how far an attacker could move through your environment, from initial compromise to critical infrastructure, cloud resources, or production environments.
Maintaining Access – Evaluating how an attacker might persist inside your network or cloud environment, and how well your defenses detect or prevent that persistence.
Covering Tracks – Reviewing log retention, monitoring, and alerting capabilities to understand how easily an attacker could evade detection or tamper with evidence.
Reporting – Delivering a detailed report that includes technical findings, proof-of-concept examples where appropriate, risk ratings, and specific recommendations tailored for both engineering teams and executives.
When appropriate, we can structure the engagement as a Red Team exercise (offensive focus), collaborate with your internal Blue Team (defensive monitoring), or operate in a Purple Team model to maximize learning and resilience for your SaaS platform.
