- The Maturity Leap
Validation Built for
Your Digital Footprint.
One-size-fits-all security testing is a myth. At Metro Tech Group, we provide hybrid offensive security engagements that combine elite human ethical hacking with advanced automation. Whether you are satisfying an annual compliance requirement or securing a complex cloud environment, we manually scope every project to ensure your specific risks are identified and remediated.
Engagement Models
Standard Point-in-Time Assessment
A rigorous, deep-dive assessment designed to provide a “Snapshot of Risk.” This model is tailored for organizations needing to satisfy SOC 2, HIPAA, or Cyber Insurance mandates. Includes manual exploitation and a verified re-test of high-priority findings.
Strategic Hybrid Testing
A multi-phased approach that combines deep-tissue manual testing with periodic automated baselining. This model ensures that as your network grows, your security posture doesn’t drift between annual audits.
Continuous PTaaS (Testing as a Service)
Our most advanced model, providing real-time visibility through a unified platform. Elite human testers perform targeted exploitation whenever significant changes are detected in your environment, providing 365-day offensive coverage.
- Methodology
The 5-Phase Hybrid Methodology
RECON (Phase_01)
Automated mapping of your attack surface to find “Shadow IT” and exposed assets.
ANALYZE (Phase_02)
Our ethical hackers manually filter the data to identify complex logic flaws that machines miss.
EXPLOIT (Phase_03)
Safe, manual exploitation to prove the real-world impact of a vulnerability.
ESCALATE (Phase_04)
Simulating lateral movement to see how far an adversary could travel toward your “Crown Jewels.”
ORCHESTRATE (Phase_05)
Findings are delivered via our secure portal with a prioritized remediation roadmap.

Core Areas
Web Application
Evaluates the security of web applications by identifying vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, broken authentication, and insecure configurations. Focuses on the application layer.
API
Assesses the security of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to uncover vulnerabilities like insecure direct object references, excessive data exposure, and broken function level authorization.
Mobile App
Examines mobile applications (iOS and Android) for security flaws, including insecure data storage, weak cryptography, insecure communication, and client-side injection vulnerabilities.
External
Simulates an attack from outside your organization’s network, targeting internet-facing assets like web servers, firewalls, and routers to find exploitable weaknesses.
Internal
Mimics an attack by an insider (e.g., an employee or contractor) with access to the internal network, identifying vulnerabilities that could be exploited from within.
Cloud
Focuses on the security of cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), assessing configurations, access controls, and deployed services for misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.
Hardware
Involves assessing the physical security and firmware of hardware devices to uncover vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized access or manipulation.
Medical Devices
Specialized testing for medical devices to identify security flaws that could impact patient safety, data privacy, or device functionality.
Wireless
Evaluates the security of wireless networks (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) to detect misconfigurations, weak encryption, and unauthorized access points.
Physical
Assesses the physical security controls of a facility to identify weaknesses that could allow unauthorized entry or access to sensitive areas.
IoT/OT
Tests the security of Internet of Things (IoT) and Operational Technology (OT) devices and systems, which often have unique vulnerabilities due to their embedded nature.
Source Code
Involves a detailed analysis of an application’s source code to identify security vulnerabilities that might not be apparent during dynamic testing.
Compliance Testing
SOC 2 Compliance
Assesses an organization’s information security system against the Trust Services Criteria (security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy) for SOC 2 reporting.
HIPAA Compliance
Identifies vulnerabilities in systems handling Protected Health Information (PHI) to ensure compliance with HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules, safeguarding patient data.
PCI DSS Compliance
Evaluates systems that process, store, or transmit credit card data against the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements to protect cardholder information.
NIST CSF Compliance
Evaluates systems that process, store, or transmit credit card data against the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements to protect cardholder information.
CIS Controls Compliance
Assesses adherence to the CIS Critical Security Controls, a prioritized set of actions to protect organizations and data from known cyberattack vectors.
GDPR Compliance
Focuses on identifying vulnerabilities that could lead to breaches of personal data, ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for EU citizens’ data.
FDA Compliance
Specialized testing for medical device manufacturers and healthcare entities to meet FDA cybersecurity guidance and regulations for medical devices.
ISO 27001 Compliance
Helps organizations identify weaknesses in their Information Security Management System (ISMS) to align with ISO 27001 standards for information security.
HITRUST CSF Compliance
Assesses an organization’s security controls against the HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF), a certifiable framework for managing risk and compliance.
CMMC Compliance
Supports defense contractors in meeting the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Other Compliance
Customized penetration testing services to address specific regulatory or industry compliance requirements not explicitly listed, ensuring tailored security assessments.
Pentesting Experts
Our in-house team of pentesters are certified industry experts with years of experience and education. Our penetration testing services deliver accurate, actionable reports tailored to your unique environment.
