Independent Penetration Testing & Cybersecurity Compliance for Pennsylvania Businesses
We expose critical digital vulnerabilities before malicious actors exploit them. Headquartered in Erie, Pennsylvania, Keystone Cyber Division delivers certified offensive security assessments, red-team adversary emulation, and technical regulatory compliance tailored for growing enterprises.
Why Independent Verification Matters: IT Management vs. Offensive Security
Most businesses have an IT team or Managed Service Provider (MSP) managing helpdesk tickets, firewalls, and user administration. While exceptional IT providers keep daily operations smooth, system administration is fundamentally different from offensive security tradecraft.
Defensive Administration & Uptime
- ■ Helpdesk support, user provisioning, and device onboarding
- ■ Firewall maintenance and commercial antivirus deployments
- ■ Software patching, cloud backups, and day-to-day uptime
- Auditing their own work represents an inherent conflict of interest. An IT provider cannot objectively grade their own homework.
Adversary Emulation & Objective Validation
- ✓ Real-world adversary simulation using active offensive tradecraft
- ✓ Active Directory lateral movement & privilege escalation testing
- ✓ Independent attestation letters for cyber insurers & regulators
- 100% objective offensive validation: we sell no IT hardware, helpdesk seats, or maintenance contracts.
Specialized Offensive Services & Regulatory Shielding
Engineered to uncover hidden attack vectors, prove real-world business impact, and satisfy strict compliance frameworks.
Network & Perimeter Penetration Testing
Automated scanners produce noise; penetration testing proves real-world business risk. Our certified red team emulates active adversaries to test perimeter firewalls, exploit Active Directory trust flaws, and safely simulate ransomware attack paths without disrupting production.
CMMC 2.0 & Manufacturing Compliance
Protecting Northwest Pennsylvania defense suppliers from contract disqualification. We conduct technical gap assessments against all 110 controls of NIST SP 800-171, isolate Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) into secure enclaves, and prepare official SPRS scores.
FTC Safeguards for Dealerships & CPAs
Mandatory technical compliance for automotive dealerships and accounting firms maintaining over 5,000 customer records under 16 CFR Part 314. Rapid, non-disruptive testing engineered to protect Dealer Management Systems (DMS) from federal non-compliance penalties.
Cloud & Web Application Security
Rigorous security evaluations of custom web applications, APIs, and cloud deployments (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Google Cloud) against the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, unauthorized data exposure, and identity management flaws.
