Why Invadel
Why Charlotte companies test with us
Built for a banking city
Charlotte is the second-largest banking center in the country, and the fintechs, vendors, and service firms around the banks inherit their expectations. We test to the standards bank examiners, vendor-management teams, and sponsors apply.
Built for the Research Triangle
Raleigh, Durham, and Research Triangle Park software and life-sciences companies sell to enterprises and partners that read SOC 2 reports and diligence findings closely. We scope tests around release cycles and offer recurring programs.
Fixed prices, no travel line
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price, agreed in writing before we start. Remote delivery means no travel charge, and a North Carolina client pays the same published price as a New York one.

Built for how Charlotte actually works
Charlotte’s economy is organized around its banks, and the security expectations radiate outward. A fintech with a bank sponsor, a vendor in a bank’s supply chain, and a law or accounting firm serving bank clients all get asked for the same thing: a recent manual penetration test by an independent firm, reported with severities, remediation status, and an attestation letter. The Triangle adds SOC 2 audits and life-sciences diligence to the mix.
North Carolina’s Identity Theft Protection Act sets the breach notification duty and requires safeguards for the Social Security numbers and personal information businesses hold, and it leaves the security standard to the industry rules that apply. For most companies here that means bank examiner expectations, HIPAA, PCI DSS, or SOC 2, and a penetration test is the evidence all of them share.
We serve companies across the state, including Uptown Charlotte, South End, Ballantyne, Lake Norman, Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Research Triangle Park, and Greensboro, from the same team. Testing is delivered remotely from our New York office, with on-site work arranged when a scope needs a person in the building.

FAQ
Charlotte penetration testing, answered
Common questions from Charlotte teams scoping their first, or next, engagement.
Still have questions?01How much does a penetration test cost in Charlotte?
The same fixed prices we publish for everyone: external network testing from $4,200, web application testing from $5,200, API testing from $4,000, internal network testing from $6,000, and cloud testing from $6,800, each agreed in writing before work starts and each including a free retest. There is no travel charge for North Carolina clients.
See the pricing page02We are a vendor to a large bank. What will their vendor-management team expect?
A dated report from an independent firm covering the systems that touch the bank’s data, findings rated by severity, evidence that the serious ones were fixed and verified, and usually an attestation letter or a summary they can file. A web application or API test plus an external network test answers most reviews.
Third-party penetration testing03Do you test banks and credit unions directly?
Yes. We test online banking with the platform vendor’s authorization, internal networks from a branch foothold, and staff through phishing campaigns, and we report in the form examiners expect.
Penetration testing for banks and credit unions04We are a Research Triangle SaaS company preparing for SOC 2. What do we need?
A web application penetration test of the product with accounts in every role, usually paired with a cloud or external network test. Reports are formatted for SOC 2 auditors and compatible with Vanta and Drata, and a recurring program keeps the evidence current as you ship.
SOC 2 penetration testing05Do you come on-site in North Carolina?
By arrangement. Most engagements are fully remote, and internal network tests run through a small device we ship to your office. When a scope needs a person in the building, we travel from New York and agree it in the proposal.
06How fast can a North Carolina engagement start?
Scoping takes about a day, onboarding begins within 24 hours of a signed proposal, and testing typically starts within a week. Tell us your examination, audit, or customer deadline and we plan the engagement around it.
