Texas Penetration Testing Services
Invadel runs fixed-price penetration testing for Texas companies, from the energy and industrial firms of Houston and the financial services and fintech offices of Dallas and Fort Worth to the software companies of Austin and the defense and cyber community of San Antonio. Senior New York testers, delivered remotely, on-site by arrangement.
Why Invadel
Why Texas companies test with us
Energy, industrial and OT experience
Houston’s operators run networks where the wrong test can stop a process. We scope industrial and hardware engagements with care, test the corporate side and the boundaries around control systems, and never use techniques that risk availability.
Built for the way Austin ships
Austin product companies deploy weekly and sell to enterprises that read SOC 2 reports closely. We scope tests around release cycles and offer recurring programs, not just an annual snapshot.
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 Texas client pays the same published price as a New York one.
Industries we serve
Built for Texas's core industries
Texas is four major economies in one state: energy and industry in Houston, finance and corporate headquarters in Dallas, software in Austin, and defense and cybersecurity in San Antonio, with healthcare and logistics running through all of them.
Energy, oil & gas, industrial
Houston and Permian operators securing corporate networks, the boundaries around control systems, and the vendor connections into both.
Banking, fintech & financial services
Dallas and Fort Worth institutions and platforms meeting regulator, SOC 2, and partner expectations for the systems that move money.
SaaS & technology
Austin product companies closing SOC 2 audits and enterprise security reviews, and testing new features before they reach large customers.
Defense & government contractors
San Antonio and Dallas suppliers proving CMMC Level 2 readiness and NIST SP 800-171 compliance for the CUI they handle.
Hospitals & health systems
Texas Medical Center institutions and systems statewide testing patient portals, clinical applications, and networks to HIPAA and the Texas Medical Records Privacy Act.
Logistics, retail & real estate
Distribution, retail, and property companies securing warehouse systems, checkout flows, and the PCI DSS scope behind them.

Built for how Texas actually works
Texas companies get asked for penetration testing by regulators, card brands, customers, and insurers, and the shape of the request follows the sector. A Houston operator needs its corporate network and the boundaries around its control systems tested without risking a process. A Dallas bank needs examiner-ready evidence. An Austin software company needs a SOC 2 report its enterprise customers will accept. A San Antonio contractor needs CMMC readiness proven.
Texas law adds a layer of its own. The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act requires reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security practices for the personal data it covers. Vendors selling cloud services to state agencies need TX-RAMP certification, which rests on the same control families as the federal program. Health information carries the Texas Medical Records Privacy Act alongside HIPAA, and the state’s breach law sets the notification duty. A manual penetration test is the evidence that the practices behind all of them hold.
We serve companies across the state, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Houston, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Austin, Round Rock, and San Antonio, 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
Texas penetration testing, answered
Common questions from Texas teams scoping their first, or next, engagement.
Still have questions?01How much does a penetration test cost in Texas?
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 Texas clients.
See the pricing page02Can you test an energy company without touching operations?
Yes. We scope the corporate network, the remote-access paths, and the boundaries around control systems, and we agree in writing which systems are off limits and which are handled with care. Testing of devices and OT components themselves is a separate hardware engagement run in a lab or a maintenance window, never against a live process.
Hardware and OT penetration testing03Do you support TX-RAMP and CMMC?
Yes. For TX-RAMP we test the cloud service and its boundary and report against the control families the certification rests on. For CMMC Level 2 we test the segmentation around the CUI enclave and the identity paths into it and map findings to NIST SP 800-171 so the evidence fits a C3PAO assessment.
CMMC Level 2 penetration testing04We are an Austin SaaS company facing our first SOC 2 audit. Where do we start?
With a web application penetration test, since the product is what auditors and enterprise customers scrutinize first, usually paired with an external network or cloud test. Reports are formatted for SOC 2 auditors and compatible with Vanta and Drata, and we can move to a recurring program once you are shipping to larger customers.
SOC 2 penetration testing05Do you come on-site in Texas?
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 Texas 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 audit, certification, or customer deadline and we plan the engagement around it.
