Cybersecurity & Pen Testing

Know where you're vulnerable — before an attacker does.

Small businesses are the #1 target for cyberattacks — and most don’t find out they’ve been breached until it’s too late.

Pendergrass Consulting runs real-world offensive security assessments against your network, applications, and infrastructure using the same tools and techniques actual attackers use.

We find your weaknesses, show you the real-world impact, and help you fix them — with a detailed report and hands-on remediation support.

Based in the Research Triangle, serving businesses across North Carolina. Remote assessments available nationwide.

1.

Offensive Security Expertise

Our assessments use private techniques, OffSec methodologies, and industry-standard tools. We simulate real attacks — network intrusion, web application exploitation, wireless attacks, and social engineering — to show you what an attacker would actually see.

2.

Actionable Reporting

You don’t get a generic scan report. You get a prioritized findings document with an executive summary for leadership and technical remediation steps for your IT team. Every finding includes risk ratings and proof-of-concept evidence.

3.

Continuous Monitoring

Pen tests are a snapshot in time. For ongoing protection, we deploy and manage Security Onion SIEM with Elastic-based log aggregation, real-time alerting, and incident triage across your entire environment.

4.

Remediation Support

We don’t just hand you a report and walk away. We help you fix what we found — patching vulnerabilities, hardening configurations, and implementing the controls that close the gaps for good.
