Is Your Business One Breach Away From Bankruptcy?

Most mid-sized companies think they're secure, until a $4.5M breach proves otherwise. We find the holes before criminals do, with enterprise-grade testing at mid-market prices.

You're Already Being Tested

Just Not By Anyone You Hired

The numbers every business owner should know (but most don’t)

43% of cyberattacks target small and mid-sized businesses
You’re not “too small to be a target,” you’re the perfect target

60% of small companies go out of business within 6 months of a breach
The cost is more than the ransom; it’s the lawsuits, fines, and lost customers

$4.5M is the average cost of a data breach for small and mid-sized companies
Compare that to the $2K-$7K cost of finding vulnerabilities before criminals do

207 days is how long the average breach goes undetected
That’s 6+ months of stolen data, credentials, and customer information

95% of cybersecurity breaches are caused by human error
Your firewall and antivirus can’t protect against weak passwords, phishing, or misconfigured systems

  • Why Companies Fire Their 'Security Vendor' and Hire Us Instead

Real Attackers, Not Checklists

Compliance scanners find roughly 20% of vulnerabilities. We find the things the scanners don’t find, the ones that lead to ransomware and lawsuits.

We test like criminals think, not like auditors check boxes. That means we chain vulnerabilities together the way real attacks happen.

Proof

Recent client: Passed their PCI scan with flying colors. We found 3 critical vulnerabilities that would’ve given us complete access to their customer database in under 2 hours.

You'll Actually Understand the Results

No 300-page technical reports gathering dust. You get a 30-minute meeting (if you want one) showing exactly what we found, how bad it is, and what to fix first, in order of actual risk, not CVSS scores.

Plus unlimited follow-up calls, because security questions don’t stop at 5 pm.

Proof

Average competitor report: 287 pages of technical jargon. Ours: 12-page executive summary + video demonstration you can show your board.

We're Your Security Team, Not Just a Vendor

After testing, we don’t disappear. We help prioritize fixes, verify that your patches actually work, and explain findings to your insurance company, auditors, or board (if needed).

Think of us as your outsourced CISO, paid only when you need us.

Proof

Average client retention: 80%. We become the security expertise you can’t afford to hire full-time.

When Attackers Get Past Your Firewall (And They Will)
Every company eventually faces a phishing attack, compromised password, or vendor breach. The question isn't IF attackers get in, it's what they can access WHEN they do. Here's what usually happens next:
Lateral Movement Opportunities (Found in 87% of tests)

Once inside, attackers can move from one system to another. We find shared credentials, overly permissive access, and network segmentation gaps that let someone who compromises one laptop access your entire network.

Real example: An employee clicked a phishing link. We used their account to access financial systems, customer database, and email, all within 3 hours.

Privileged Account Weaknesses (Found in 72% of tests)

Admin and service accounts with weak passwords or no multi-factor authentication. These accounts have keys to everything, and they’re often the least protected.

Real example: Found admin password in a shared spreadsheet. That password gave us access to backup systems containing 5 years of customer data.

Unpatched Internal Systems (Found in 68% of tests)

Your firewall might be updated, but what about the internal servers, databases, and applications? We regularly find critical systems running software from 2019 to 2021 with known exploits. 


Real example: The database server hadn’t been updated in 3 years. We exploited a publicly-known vulnerability and extracted the entire customer list in 20 minutes.

Data Without Protection (Found in 59% of tests)

Sensitive files stored on shared drives, unencrypted databases, or cloud storage with “everyone in the company” access. Once we’re inside, we find customer data, financial records, and credentials in plain sight.

Real example: Found a spreadsheet with 12,000 customer credit card numbers on a shared drive. Any employee could access it. So could we.

Shadow IT & Forgotten Access (Found in 43% of tests)

Old VPN accounts, former contractor access, and cloud services IT doesn’t know about. These are entry points that bypass your security entirely.

Real example: Former employee’s VPN access still active 8 months after departure. We used it to access internal systems as if we were still employed there.

Most companies we test have solid perimeter security. The vulnerabilities that lead to breaches are what happen AFTER someone gets past that first layer, through phishing, compromised credentials, or vendor access. That’s where the real risk lives.

Frequently Asked

questions

There are a lot of companies selling penetration tests (pen tests), but how do you know if what you are getting is a real pen test? When it’s something that’s less tangible than, say, getting an oil change, it can be hard to determine if what you are purchasing is what you need. Read More
Penetration testing is a targeted manual approach to identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in an organization. Depending on the scope, this could include their wireless infrastructure, web applications, internal and external networks, personnel (e.g., social engineering campaigns), physical security, mobile devices, and source code.

In simpler terms, a risk analyst will go over a company’s policies and procedures.  They will also determine if there is a security awareness training program and certain safeguards are in place, such as encryption and log monitoring.  Read More
Social Engineering Testing and a Security Risk Assessments with a skilled cybersecurity partner are two very important things you can perform to help keep your network safe. Read More
Professionalism, Quality, Responsive, Value

 

Our company has used MainNerve for a number of years for penetration testing. They are very professional and very thorough. They are careful about not disrupting the organization during the testing and they walk you through the test results in a way that makes understanding them very straightforward. We’ll be using them again soon.
