Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessments for Small Businesses

What we test

• Devices and network: laptops, office Wi-Fi and open entry points, using current attack methods.
• Cloud accounts: Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace sharing, admin roles, sign-in protection and connected apps.
• Your outside exposure: domains, website, email security, exposed logins and leaked passwords.
• People: a phishing simulation across your staff.
• AI-driven attacks: prompt injection through email and documents, consent phishing, and AI-assisted impersonation of owners and directors.

How we test

We follow the public NIST SP 800-115 technical testing guide and OWASP testing methods. We test your systems and settings, never the infrastructure of Microsoft, Google or other providers, and nothing that could take a system down. Every engagement starts with a signed authorization letter.

Scans and real tests are different things

A vulnerability scan is automated and repeatable; it finds known weaknesses. A penetration test is a person working to break in, then writing up what worked. Automated-only "AI pentests" are cheap, but auditors may not accept them on their own, so every test we deliver is human-reviewed.

Who does the work

Christian Ririe leads every compliance engagement personally. He spent 15 years at the World Bank, where he worked with its Internal Audit department on the yearly audits, testing servers and systems for vulnerabilities. We test to the public NIST SP 800-115 guide and OWASP testing methods.

We use AI to draft, scan and test, and every deliverable is reviewed, tailored and owned by TechFort. That is how a small firm gets a complete program at a fraction of what it usually costs.

When you need someone other than us

If we already run your IT, we are testing our own work. Where your regulator, auditor or insurer requires a separate independent firm, we tell you, scope the test, collect quotes and coordinate it, and you contract with that firm directly.
