Why Choose Grid32 for Penetration Testing?

Specialists, Not Generalists

Many cybersecurity firms offer penetration testing as one service among dozens. For these firms, pentesting is a line item. For Grid32, it's everything. Our entire team, methodology, and culture is built around one discipline: finding the vulnerabilities in your environment that an attacker would exploit.

Eighteen-Plus Years of Focused Experience

Grid32 was founded in New York City in 2009. We've conducted over 2,500 engagements across financial services, healthcare, legal, technology, government contracting, and many other sectors. That depth of experience means our engineers have seen, and exploited, virtually every attack pattern in production environments.

Manual-First Methodology

We use tools to assist our engineers, not to replace them. This means we find vulnerabilities that scanners miss, and we understand the full business impact of every finding we deliver.

Elite, Certified, U.S.-Based Team

Our engineers hold CISSP, GPEN, GXPN, OSCP, OSCE, CDPSE, CCIE, and other advanced certifications. All are U.S.-based direct employees, no offshore contractors, no subcontractors. Every engineer has been background-checked and is a full-time Grid32 team member.

Zero Service Disruptions

One thousand-plus engagements. Zero unintended service disruptions. That record is a direct result of our manual methodology and our engineers' discipline in understanding the potential impact of every technique before applying it.

What to Ask Any Penetration Testing Firm

Before hiring any firm, ask a few questions that separate real testing from a scan with a logo. Who performs the work, and are they in-house or subcontracted? Where are the engineers located, and are they background-checked? Is the testing manual or primarily automated? What certifications do the engineers hold? And can you see a sample report? Grid32 answers all of these plainly: senior, U.S.-based, background-checked engineers, no subcontractors, a manual-first methodology, and a track record of more than 2,500 engagements without an unintended service disruption.
