Northbridge Security proposes a Penetration Test for Meridian Logistics Group, focused on External penetration testing and cloud infrastructure review. The goal is straightforward: identify the weaknesses that matter before someone else does — then hand your team a clear, prioritized path to fix them.

We combine automated scanning with manual, expert-led testing — the same approach we use on our own infrastructure. The result is not a generic findings list, but a business-readable roadmap your team can act on the week it is delivered.
This engagement will be led by the following certified practitioners:
Every assessment is led end-to-end by a named senior consultant who stays with the engagement from kickoff to delivery.
Before any testing begins, scope is confirmed in writing with Dana Whitfield. A standard Penetration Test covers:
Explicitly out of scope unless added by written change order: production payment systems, third-party vendor infrastructure, physical premises.
Authorized testing hours, out-of-scope systems, and full rules of engagement are documented and agreed in writing before testing starts. Nothing outside the agreed scope is ever touched.
Every engagement follows a structured, repeatable methodology aligned to the OWASP Testing Guide, PTES, and NIST SP 800-115, run in four phases:
You receive regular progress updates throughout testing, and no potentially disruptive test is run without your written approval.
Formal Rules of Engagement (ROE) are executed before testing begins and fix the following at minimum. This is a summary; the signed ROE document governs.
This proposal authorizes Northbridge Security to prepare the ROE and Statement of Work for signature. No testing activity begins until the ROE is signed by an authorized representative of both parties.
Every deliverable is reviewed by a senior consultant before it is released:
All findings are manually verified before reporting — we do not report anything we have not personally reproduced.
Total investment for this engagement: USD 14,500, split into two payments:
Investment covers all testing time, the full report, and a remediation guidance session after delivery — with no additional fees for follow-up questions within 3–4 weeks of the report.
Once approved, the engagement typically runs 3–4 weeks from kickoff to final report:
Kickoff week. ROE signature, rules of engagement, and testing schedule confirmed.
Testing window. Active assessment of the agreed scope, with weekly status updates.
Delivery week. Final report, executive brief, and a remediation walkthrough call.
To begin: approve below, and we will schedule your kickoff call within 3 business days of receiving this proposal.
This proposal is valid until the date stated at the top of this document. Approving below authorizes Northbridge Security to prepare the formal Rules of Engagement and Statement of Work for signature — it does not itself authorize testing to begin. Testing starts only once the ROE is signed by an authorized representative of both parties.
