Penetration Testing Services in Austin, TX

Austin is a builder's town with one of the densest founder populations in the country. The Austin pentest buyer is usually a Series Seed or Series A founder preparing for a security gate — SOC 2 Type I or II is on the term sheet from the lead investor, or the first enterprise customer's security questionnaire just landed in their inbox. The wrong vendor here burns a fundraising window.

Why Austin buyers choose QUANT LAB USA

QUANT LAB USA scopes pentests around Austin founder velocity. Engagements are sized to land inside a 4-8 week SOC 2 readiness window. Web application and credentialed API testing is the most common scope, with an internal AD or cloud-perimeter add-on for startups that have already gone past pure SaaS. Every finding is mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and the SOC 2 trust criteria.

Scope & coverage

Four engagement types cover most of what Austin clients ask for. Web application pentests — OWASP Top 10, business logic, authentication, authorization, and API security across REST and GraphQL. Internal network and Active Directory engagements — Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, lateral movement, ADCS abuse, and credential dumping from an assumed-breach starting position. External perimeter assessments — attack surface mapping, exposed services, and credential exposure. Wireless engagements — corporate Wi-Fi, guest network isolation, and BYOD segmentation.

Every technique used is mapped to a MITRE ATT&CK ID so your detection team — in-house or MSSP — can see what your defenses caught and what they missed. Reports include the executive summary, full technical narrative, evidence chain, and a remediation roadmap prioritized by exploitability rather than CVSS alone.

The local angle

For Austin SaaS pre-Series A, the standard scope is a credentialed web app + API test against the production application plus an external perimeter scan — exactly what an investor security reviewer will probe.

FAQ — Austin engagements

Can you fit a pentest inside a SOC 2 Type I readiness window?

Yes. Typical web app pentest with reporting lands in 2-3 weeks active testing plus 1 week reporting. We have shipped reports into SOC 2 Type I attestations on Austin client timelines.

Will an institutional investor accept your report for diligence?

Yes — reports include the executive summary, methodology, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and attestation letter that institutional investor security reviewers expect. The format works for both audit and diligence.

Do you understand modern SaaS stacks?

Yes. Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Vercel, AWS, Stripe — this is our development stack, which directly informs how we attack it. We are not testing your stack from the outside.
