Security Controls Only Matter If They Actually Work.
Controls look good on paper
Policies and configurations can drift. Penetration testing reveals the gap between documented controls and actual security posture.
Assessors expect evidence
Whether it's a federal audit, CMMC assessment, or internal review, assessors expect penetration test evidence mapped to specific NIST controls.
Legacy firms overcharge
Traditional consultancies charge $20K to $60K for NIST-mapped pentests. StealthNet delivers AI pentests starting at $1,500 and hybrid pentests from $5,000.
Pentest Reports Built for NIST, Not Retrofitted for It.
AI Pentest
$1,500
- 48-hour delivery
- Exploit-validated findings
- Mapped to NIST 800-53 / 800-171 / CSF
Best for: CSF assessments, post-incident validation, gap analysis
Hybrid (AI + Human) Pentest
Starting at $5,000
Typical engagements range from $5,000 to $10,000 depending on scope
- AI attack simulation + senior US-based pentester validation
- 48-hour first report
- Dedicated project manager + private Slack channel
- Compliance-ready report + free retest included
Best for: 800-171 compliance, CMMC crosswalk, federal system assessments
Mapped to NIST Control Families.
Access Control (AC/3.1)
Testing of authentication, authorization, and least privilege enforcement across systems
System Protection (SC/3.13)
Validation of boundary protections, encryption, and secure communications
Audit (AU/3.3)
Assessment of logging, monitoring, and audit trail integrity
Risk Assessment (RA/3.11)
Identification of vulnerabilities through real-world attack simulation
AI Handles Speed. Humans Validate Everything.
A named, US-based senior tester validates every finding before your report is delivered.
Reports map to your specific NIST framework (800-53, 800-171, or CSF) with no manual reformatting.
Most clients receive their first report within 48 hours of scoping call completion.
NIST Pentesting Questions
What a NIST Auditor Wants to See in Your Pentest Report
Reports built to satisfy Big Four assessors, QSAs, 3PAOs, and customer security reviews on the first pass.
Explicit control mapping
Each finding tagged to a NIST 800-53 control (CA-8, RA-5, SI-2) or 800-171 practice (3.11, 3.12, 3.14) so assessors can drop evidence straight into your SSP and POA&M.
POA&M-ready findings
Severity, exploit path, affected assets, and recommended remediation written in the structure DoD assessors and federal ATOs expect to ingest.
Segmentation and boundary proof
Validation that the authorization boundary and CUI enclaves actually isolate as documented, not just on the network diagram.
Methodology statement
NIST SP 800-115 aligned methodology section so 3PAOs, C3PAOs, and federal assessors recognize the test scope on the first read.
