Penetration Testing Services in Seattle, WA
Seattle's software economy is anchored by Amazon and Microsoft, surrounded by a fast-moving SaaS and dev-tools ecosystem and a steady stream of bootstrapped indie SaaS founders. The defining feature of pentest scope here is cloud-native — most Seattle apps live in AWS, ship through CI/CD pipelines, and use IAM-heavy authorization patterns. The interesting findings are in the cloud and CI/CD seams, not the traditional perimeter.
Why Seattle buyers choose QUANT LAB USA
QUANT LAB USA runs cloud-pentest-aware engagements for Seattle SaaS and dev-tools clients. Web application coverage is standard, plus AWS IAM and resource-policy review, CI/CD pipeline secrets exposure, and the boundary between developer tooling and production systems. Reports map to MITRE ATT&CK Cloud and Containers matrices — what Seattle-grade engineering reviewers expect to see.
Scope & coverage
Four engagement types cover most of what Seattle clients ask for. Web application pentests — OWASP Top 10, business logic, authentication, authorization, and API security across REST and GraphQL. Internal network and Active Directory engagements — Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, lateral movement, ADCS abuse, and credential dumping from an assumed-breach starting position. External perimeter assessments — attack surface mapping, exposed services, and credential exposure. Wireless engagements — corporate Wi-Fi, guest network isolation, and BYOD segmentation.
Every technique used is mapped to a MITRE ATT&CK ID so your detection team — in-house or MSSP — can see what your defenses caught and what they missed. Reports include the executive summary, full technical narrative, evidence chain, and a remediation roadmap prioritized by exploitability rather than CVSS alone.
The local angle
For Seattle cloud-native SaaS, scope typically covers a credentialed web app test, an AWS IAM and resource-policy review for misconfiguration, and a CI/CD pipeline review for secrets handling and pipeline poisoning.

FAQ — Seattle engagements
Do you cover AWS IAM and cloud misconfiguration?
Yes. AWS IAM, resource policies, S3 exposure, KMS, and the MITRE ATT&CK Cloud matrix are explicit scope on Seattle engagements. Same on GCP and Azure when relevant.
Can you review our CI/CD pipeline for secrets exposure?
Yes. GitHub Actions and GitLab CI pipeline review is part of the cloud-native scope — secrets handling, OIDC trust policies, and pipeline poisoning paths.
Time-zone overlap with PT?
Comfortable working morning through early afternoon Pacific from a Georgia HQ. Scoping calls accommodate PT schedules; testing windows are not time-zone-bound.
