"We think we're secure" isn't evidence
Insurance carriers, enterprise customers, and regulators increasingly ask for proof. A penetration test replaces assumptions with documented, dated evidence of what an attacker could and couldn't do.

Penetration Testing in New Orleans, Louisiana
Nubinity performs authorized penetration testing for businesses across the New Orleans metro — real-world attack simulation against your networks, applications, and systems, under a written scope, producing findings you can actually act on. Because the testing team is local, engagements can include the parts remote-only firms skip: on-site network access review, physical walkthrough context, and a findings debrief across the table instead of a PDF over email.
Why this matters here
The problems this solves for local businesses.
Scanner reports aren't a pentest
A vulnerability scan lists potential issues; a penetration test validates which ones are exploitable, chains them the way an attacker would, and ranks what actually matters. You get judgment, not just tool output.
Findings that never get fixed
The report is the start, not the deliverable. Nubinity prioritizes remediation with you and — unlike test-only shops — can implement the fixes under a separate scope: firewall, SSO, endpoint, hosting.
What's included
Everything under one accountable engagement.
- Written rules of engagement: scope, methods, exclusions, windows, contacts
- Network, system, and application testing per the agreed scope
- Real-world attack simulation with expert judgment, not just scanning
- Evidence-based findings with business context and risk ranking
- Executive summary for leadership, technical detail for implementers
- Debrief and remediation prioritization — in person for local clients
Published starting points
Penetration Test
priced by systems in scope, methods, and depth — proposal states the full cost
Vulnerability Assessment
broader, lighter-touch review when a full test isn't required yet
Remediation Support
per hour starting — fixing what the test finds, under separate scope
Final pricing is confirmed in writing at order or proposal time.
How it works
From first call to steady state.
Authorize
Scope, ownership, testing boundaries, and rules of engagement agreed in writing before anything is touched. You warrant ownership of what's in scope; we test nothing outside it.
Test
Approved testing within the agreed windows, with documented evidence and immediate escalation if something critical is exposed mid-engagement.
Debrief
Findings ranked by real risk, walked through with your team, with a remediation order that respects your budget and operations.

Questions
Asked by New Orleans businesses.
How much does a penetration test cost in New Orleans?
Engagements are priced by scope: how many systems and applications, which testing methods, and how deep. Nubinity states the full engagement price in the proposal before work begins. Post-test remediation, if you want our help, starts at $98/hour under a separate scope.
What's the difference between a vulnerability scan and a penetration test?
A scan identifies potential weaknesses with automated tooling. A penetration test uses approved techniques and expert judgment to validate and demonstrate real risk — which findings are exploitable, how they chain together, and what an attacker could reach.
Will testing disrupt our operations?
Scope, timing, and rules of engagement are agreed in advance specifically to avoid disruption. Production systems are tested only when explicitly authorized, with controls and communication procedures in place.
Our cyber-insurance renewal asks for a pentest. Is that what this is?
Yes — carrier questionnaires and enterprise vendor-security reviews are the two most common reasons local businesses order a first test. The deliverables are written to serve as that documentation: dated scope, methodology, findings, and remediation status.
Can you also fix what you find?
Yes, under a separate scope so the test's independence stays clean. The same team that runs managed firewall, SSO, endpoint protection, and hosting can implement the remediation plan — which is the practical advantage of a local full-stack provider over a test-only firm.
