Your Trusted Security Partner

Our Penetration Testing and Managed Security Services help agencies understand how an attacker could move through their environment before a real incident occurs. We combine external, internal, wireless, web application, and Active Directory testing with clear remediation guidance, executive reporting, and optional continuous monitoring support to help protect public systems, sensitive data, and mission critical operations.

Our offerings

Our Security Offerings

Network Penetration Testing

External and internal testing to identify exploitable paths across networks, systems, and services.

Wireless Security Testing

Assessment of wireless authentication, encryption, segmentation, rogue access, and guest network exposure.

Web Application Testing

Manual and tool assisted testing for authentication, authorization, session, API, and OWASP risks.

Vulnerability Validation

Manual confirmation of critical findings to reduce false positives and prioritize real risk.

Active Directory Assessment

Attack path analysis, privilege review, stale account discovery, and identity risk prioritization.

Managed Detection Support

Optional monitoring, alert review, and incident response support after assessment completion.

Engagement Model

From testing to measurable risk reduction

Every agency has a different attack surface, operating model, and risk profile. Our engagement model starts with controlled testing and ends with practical remediation. Where needed, we extend support into managed monitoring and compliance operations so findings do not remain static report items.

01
Stage 1
Scope & Plan

Confirm assets, testing windows, access needs, communication paths, escalation contacts, and rules of engagement. Output is a safe testing plan, approved scope, and clear operating protocol.

02
Stage 2
Test & Validate

Perform external, internal, web application, wireless, and identity focused testing. Findings are manually validated, false positives are removed, and exploitability is confirmed within approved boundaries.

03
Stage 34
Report & Prioritize

Translate technical findings into executive risk themes, technical evidence, affected assets, severity ratings, business impact, and a remediation roadmap prioritized by risk, effort, and ownership.

04
Stage 4
Remediate & Monitor

Support remediation planning, retesting, and optional managed monitoring. Agencies can continue with vulnerability management, detection support, compliance reporting, and incident readiness services.

Compliance & Security

Compliance and security frameworks we work within

Every assessment is delivered with the compliance posture of the agency in mind. We do not treat testing as a standalone technical exercise. We map findings, evidence, and remediation guidance to the frameworks that drive agency accountability.

FedRAMP Moderate & High

Testing and managed security support for agencies operating on FedRAMP authorized cloud platforms. Includes vulnerability validation, continuous monitoring support, evidence tracking, and POA&M alignment.

NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5

Assessment findings and remediation guidance mapped to applicable NIST controls, supporting risk management, control testing, and audit readiness.

StateRAMP

Security validation and managed monitoring support for state agencies operating on StateRAMP aligned platforms, including evidence collection, vulnerability tracking, and incident response support.

CJIS Security Policy

Assessment and security support for justice, law enforcement, courts, corrections, and public safety environments. Access controls, segmentation, logging, and incident response are reviewed with CJIS expectations in mind.

HIPAA

Security testing and monitoring support for agencies handling protected health information. Testing focuses on access control, data exposure, logging, transmission security, and incident readiness.

IRS Publication 1075

Security support for agencies handling Federal Tax Information. Services include access monitoring, audit logging, segmentation review, vulnerability validation, and incident response alignment.

FISMA

Annual assessment support, continuous monitoring, POA&M management, evidence collection, and remediation tracking across Low, Moderate, and High impact systems.

CMMC

Security assessment and managed support for defense contractors and agencies requiring CMMC readiness. Controls are mapped, evidenced, and supported through remediation planning.

Past Performance

Case Studies

Case study 01 · Vehicle: GSA MAS
Network Penetration Testing and Attack Path Validation

A county government engaged Consultadd to assess external exposure, internal network risk, wireless segmentation, and Active Directory privilege pathways. Consultadd performed controlled testing across internet facing services, internal systems, wireless networks, and identity infrastructure to identify exploitable weaknesses and validate real risk.

The engagement included external reconnaissance, service enumeration, authentication testing, internal assumed breach testing, lateral movement analysis, privilege escalation review, wireless authentication assessment, and Active Directory attack path mapping. Findings were manually validated and translated into a prioritized remediation roadmap.

Consultadd delivered executive level risk themes, technical finding details, severity ratings, evidence, remediation steps, and retest guidance. The final output helped leadership understand which risks required immediate action and helped IT teams sequence remediation across identity, network, endpoint, and infrastructure owners.

A complete past-performance list — including federal civilian, federal defense, and local government engagements — is included in our capability statement.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything contracting officers, IT leaders, and prime capture teams routinely ask before engaging.

01
Do you provide both penetration testing and managed security support?
FAQ Icon

Yes. We perform external, internal, web application, wireless, and Active Directory testing. We can also provide ongoing monitoring, vulnerability management, incident response, compliance support, and remediation tracking after the assessment.

02
What does 24/7 SOC monitoring actually cover?
FAQ Icon

Network traffic, endpoints, cloud environments, and applications. We tune the SIEM to your agency's specific threat profile and compliance requirements — not a generic ruleset applied across all clients.

03
What is included in a network penetration test?
FAQ Icon

A typical network penetration test includes external attack surface review, internal assumed breach testing, service enumeration, authentication testing, segmentation review, privilege escalation testing, Active Directory attack path analysis, and remediation reporting.

04
How do you avoid disrupting production systems?
FAQ Icon

Testing is governed by approved rules of engagement, defined testing windows, source IP controls, escalation contacts, traffic throttling, and stop test procedures. Destructive testing and denial of service activities are excluded unless specifically authorized.

05
Do you provide executive reporting?
FAQ Icon

Yes. We provide a leadership focused summary that explains risk, business impact, priority, and investment areas. Technical teams receive detailed evidence, reproduction steps, remediation guidance, and ownership recommendations.

06
How quickly can you begin after award?
FAQ Icon

Most proactive testing engagements can begin with kickoff and planning in the first week after award. Active testing begins after scope, access, testing windows, and rules of engagement are approved.

07
What happens when an incident is detected?
FAQ Icon

Our SOC team follows a defined incident response playbook — containment, investigation, eradication, and recovery. Your designated contacts are notified immediately and kept informed throughout. Post-incident reports are provided for every significant event.

08
How is this different from just hiring in-house security staff?
FAQ Icon

You get a full security team — analysts, engineers, and compliance specialists — for a fraction of the cost of building that capability in-house. And unlike staff, we're available 24/7 with no gaps for leave, turnover, or training.
