Penetration Testing in Charlotte

Web application, network, API and cloud penetration testing for Charlotte, NC businesses — a real black-box attack run by an AI agent swarm and directed by an experienced tester, not a scan with a report template on the front.

Ranked findings with proof-of-concept evidence, remediation guidance your engineers can act on, a compliance-ready report, and a retest included. Serving Charlotte and the wider Greater Charlotte area.

Penetration testing for Charlotte businesses

Security Arsenal runs penetration tests for organisations across Charlotte, NC and the wider Greater Charlotte area — including Concord, Gastonia, Rock Hill, Matthews. Testing is delivered remotely, so a Charlotte engagement runs on the same timeline and the same price list as one anywhere else in North Carolina.

Most Charlotte clients come to us for one of three reasons: a compliance deadline (SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA), a customer security questionnaire that demands a recent third-party test, or a cyber-insurance renewal. All three need the same thing — a real test with evidence, not a scanner export with a logo on it.

Our banking and finance clients in the region typically start with an external network and web application test, then add internal network or cloud scope once the perimeter is clean.

What we test in Charlotte

Scoped to what you actually run — nothing tested that you have not authorised in writing.

Web Application

Full OWASP Top 10, authentication and session flaws, and business logic abuse against the applications your Charlotte customers actually use.

External & Internal Network

Perimeter attack surface, exposed services, credential attacks, Active Directory escalation and realistic lateral movement across your Charlotte environment.

Cloud (AWS / Azure / GCP)

IAM misconfiguration, storage bucket exposure, serverless attack surface, container escape paths and service account abuse.

API & AI-Assisted Deep Testing

REST, GraphQL and SOAP APIs — IDOR/BOLA, mass assignment, rate-limit abuse — plus zero-day research against custom code where scoped.

What Charlotte clients receive

Five deliverables on every engagement — not a raw findings dump, and you are covered while you work through them.

Technical Report

CVSS-scored findings with proof-of-concept evidence, affected assets, and step-by-step remediation.

Executive Summary

Business-risk framing your leadership and board can act on without a translator.

Compliance Mapping

Findings mapped to PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, OWASP and NIST references for your auditor.

Retest Included

We retest critical and high findings after you remediate and reissue the report with closure confirmed.

90-Day Protection Window

Sentinel blocking, configured from the findings we proved against you, across every protected host — free while your team fixes them.

Why we find more

A swarm tests Charlotte targets in parallel. A consultancy tests them in sequence.

A traditional engagement is rationed by hours: two testers, two weeks, and whatever they reach in that window is what you find out about. We run a swarm of specialised AI agents — recon, exploitation, business logic auditing and zero-day research — against every endpoint at once, with an experienced tester at the controls throughout — redirecting agents onto what looks promising and pushing the swarm well past where a playbook stops.

How the AI swarm works
A genuine attack — exploitation attempted and proven, not signatures matched
Business logic abuse a scanner structurally cannot find
Original zero-day research against custom code, where scoped
Results in days, not weeks of scheduling — the report is written when testing ends
Working proof-of-concept code for every finding, so your engineers can reproduce it
