Best Penetration Testing Companies in Atlanta (2026)
A penetration testing company hires out people who attack your systems with permission and report what they found. Atlanta buyers mostly need one for PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2 or CMMC evidence. This page lists 11 firms that serve Atlanta and Georgia, with what each one publishes about itself: certifications, prices, turnaround, delivery model and audit fit. Firms are listed alphabetically, not ranked. No reviews, no star ratings, no scores.
What we checked
For every firm we looked for the same five things on its own website. If a firm publishes it, we record it. If we could not find it, we say so. That is a statement about the website on the day we checked, not about the quality of the firm's work. We did not assess reputation, reviews or size, because none of those can be verified from the outside.
- Certifications named. Tester or firm credentials stated on the site (OSCP, OSWE, CEH, CREST, GIAC, CISSP, QSA and similar).
- Published price. Whether the site shows a price or a starting rate for penetration testing.
- Turnaround stated. Whether the site says when testing starts or when the report arrives.
- Delivery model. Whether the site says if work is remote or on site, and from where.
- Frameworks named. Whether the site names the audit frameworks its pentest reports serve (PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC).
Firms with an Atlanta or Georgia office come first. Firms based elsewhere that show up in Google for Atlanta searches are in a second list, so you know who is local and who delivers remotely. Budget Security publishes this page and is deliberately not in either list; how we work is explained further down.

Where Budget Security fits
We publish this page, so we keep ourselves out of the list. For the record, this is how we work.
Budget Security is a self-serve penetration testing platform based in The Hague, Netherlands. There is no US office. Testing is remote, done by OSCP-certified testers during US business hours, for clients around the world, including a growing group in Atlanta and across Georgia. The price is published: $985 per tester-day for US clients (€849 per day for EU clients). You scope the test yourself in the dashboard, testing starts within 7 days of booking, the report lands in the dashboard within 48 hours after the test ends, and you pay after the report is delivered. Reports map to SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001 and CMMC.
If you need a tester who can walk into your building for a wireless or physical test, or sit in the room with your auditor, pick one of the Atlanta firms above. For everything else, location does not change the work. Georgia detail is on our Atlanta penetration testing page.
Atlanta-based vs remote: what actually changes
Less than the city pages suggest. Seven firms on this page have an Atlanta or Alpharetta address. Several of the firms Google ranks highest for Atlanta are in Utah, Arizona, Virginia and Canada and deliver remotely. The work is the same either way for external networks, web apps, APIs, cloud and mobile: the tester needs a target, a scope and written authorisation, not a desk in Buckhead.
Three things do change:
- Internal network tests. A remote firm tests over a VPN or ships a small device to plug in. A local firm can send a person. Both are normal.
- Wireless and physical tests. Someone has to be in the building. Ask a remote firm how it handles this before you sign.
- Meetings. If your auditor or board wants the tester in the room, a local firm is simpler. Most SOC 2 and PCI evidence reviews happen on a call.
What Atlanta buyers get tested for
- PCI DSS 11.4. Atlanta's payment processing cluster means a large share of local pentest demand is PCI. Requirement 11.4 asks for internal and external tests at least every 12 months and after significant changes. See PCI DSS penetration testing.
- HIPAA. Georgia's hospital systems and the health-tech vendors around them need a periodic technical evaluation under 45 CFR 164.308(a)(8). See HIPAA penetration testing.
- SOC 2. The most common reason an Atlanta SaaS company books a pentest: the auditor or an enterprise customer asked. See SOC 2 penetration testing.
- CMMC. Defense suppliers around Augusta and Fort Eisenhower. Level 3 requires an annual pentest; Level 2 does not. See CMMC penetration testing.
Georgia's own breach law, O.C.G.A. 10-1-912, is a notification statute. It does not require a pentest. The federal frameworks above are where the testing mandates live.
