See Your Business the Way an Attacker Does — No On-Site Equipment Required

Your external attack surface — the IP addresses, domains, and web applications exposed to the public internet — is the first thing an attacker sees, and the first thing your customers, auditors, and insurers expect you to secure.

MEC's External Penetration Testing service puts that attack surface to the test, entirely from the outside in.

This engagement is performed remotely using MEC's external scanning infrastructure. There's nothing to install and no equipment required in your environment — we test your perimeter exactly as a real-world attacker would, from outside your network.

What's Included in This Package

• External Network Penetration Test — Up to 6 external IP addresses, testing internet-facing systems, exposed services, and perimeter defenses for exploitable vulnerabilities.
• Web Application Testing — Assessment of the web application(s) tied to your scoped domains/URLs, covering common exploitable weaknesses, including authentication flaws, injection points, misconfigurations, exposed sensitive data, and more.
• Remote, Agentless Testing — Conducted entirely from MEC's external scanning platform. No hardware, agents, or on-site access needed from your team.
• Expert-Validated Findings from MEC's Security Team — Findings are confirmed and prioritized by security experts, not simply delivered as automated scan output.
• Executive Summary Report — A clear, non-technical overview designed for leadership and stakeholders.
• Technical Report & Vulnerability Detail — Findings mapped to risk level, with supporting evidence and root cause analysis.
• Remediation Guidance — Practical, prioritized next steps your team can act on immediately.
• Compliance-Ready Documentation — Documentation aligned to frameworks such as SOC 1, SOC 2, CMMC, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, HIPAA, PCI DSS, FERPA, and FedRAMP.

Who This Is For

Organizations that need to validate their external and internet-facing security posture — whether for cyber insurance, a customer or vendor requirement, compliance, or general peace of mind — without needing an internal network test or any on-site coordination.

If your scope is larger than 6 external IP addresses or includes multiple complex web applications, contact us for a custom quote.

How It Works — Getting Started

1. Purchase Online
   No RFP, no procurement cycle — check out directly through this listing.
2. Receive Your Scoping Form by Email
   Shortly after purchase, you'll receive a secure form to provide the details we need to scope your test, including external IP addresses, root domain names, web application URLs, and, if applicable, test credentials for authenticated application testing.
3. Kickoff with an MEC Security SME
   Our team reviews your submitted scope, confirms testing windows, and answers any questions before testing begins.
4. Remote Testing
   Testing is conducted remotely against your scoped assets — no equipment, agents, or access required in your environment.
5. Reports Delivered
   You'll receive your Executive Summary, Technical Report, and remediation guidance.
6. Optional SME Readout Call
   Walk through the findings together with a member of our security team.

A Note on Your Data

Information you submit in the scoping form, including IP addresses, domains, URLs, and any test credentials, is used only for the duration of the testing engagement and is retained temporarily — not stored as part of an ongoing record once the engagement concludes.

Typical Timeline

Most external penetration tests are completed within 7–14 days from kickoff, depending on the number and complexity of the web applications in scope and how quickly scoping information is provided.
