    Sphere - Professional Penetration Testing for SMB

     Info
    The professional services offering, Sphere, provides tailored penetration testing and security assessments for small and medium businesses. This service uses a team of experienced security engineers utilizing an AI-Enhanced, Human-Powered approach to simulate real-world attacks, identifying vulnerabilities in external networks, internal systems, and web applications before malicious actors can exploit them. Sphere helps businesses meet compliance mandates, reduce cyber insurance costs, and ultimately prevent costly data breaches.

    Overview

    Sphere delivers professional, engineering-first security assessments and penetration testing designed specifically to fortify small and medium businesses (SMBs) against today's sophisticated cyber threats. Our service is powered by industry veterans—builders, breakers, and defenders with extensive experience—who bring battle-tested, real-world adversarial simulation techniques to your organization. Sphere goes beyond automated vulnerability scanning to provide a clear, defensible roadmap that helps you prevent costly breaches, meet strict cyber insurance and regulatory requirements, and solidify board confidence in your security posture.

    We offer a comprehensive array of security testing services, which include:

    • External Penetration Testing
    • Internal Penetration Testing
    • Cloud Infrastructure Security Review (AWS, Azure, O365)
    • Web Application Testing
    • Social Engineering Campaigns
    • Wireless Network Testing

    External Penetration Testing

    We test your organization from an internet attacker's perspective, simulating how hackers would attempt to breach your perimeter. This identifies publicly exposed vulnerabilities in web applications, services, and network defenses that could be exploited from anywhere in the world.

    Internal Penetration Testing

    Our internal assessments simulate an insider threat or an attacker who has already gained initial access. This reveals how far an adversary can move laterally within your network, what sensitive data they can access, and if they can escalate privileges.

    Cloud Infrastructure Security Review

    Our security engineers review the configurations and controls of your cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, and Microsoft 365. We focus on common misconfigurations and cloud-specific weaknesses that can be exploited, validating your security posture in modern cloud deployments.

    Web Application Testing

    We manually test and analyze custom web applications, APIs, and customer portals. Our process follows industry best practices like the OWASP Testing Methodology to identify critical issues, logic flaws, and all of the OWASP Top 10 Vulnerabilities hiding in your applications.

    Methodology: AI-Enhanced, Human-Powered

    Sphere utilizes an AI-enhanced, human-powered approach. We combine AI-driven intelligence gathering for advanced reconnaissance with expert, manual exploitation attempts. Our methodology mimics actual attacker techniques, not just automated scans, ensuring real-world simulation and business-focused reporting prioritized by risk, not just technical severity.

    Expertise

    Sphere is powered by industry veterans who have deep experience defending and testing complex enterprise systems. Our team holds industry-leading certifications (including CISSP, CISM, and Security+), demonstrating mastery of both technical exploitation and security management frameworks. You receive elite, battle-tested security expertise with an engineering-first mindset.

    Value & Deliverables

    All Sphere assessments include a non-technical Executive Summary for leadership, a Detailed Vulnerability Report with severity ratings and business impact, and a prioritized Remediation Roadmap with step-by-step instructions. We provide direct Compliance Mapping (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC) and include a post-test consultation to guide your team through remediation and ensure long-term security improvement.
