MITIGATOR Cyber Risk and Threat Intelligence Platform

Powered by Mitigator™

Most penetration test findings live and die in a PDF - read once, filed away, stale the moment the ink dries. InfoSight's don't. Every AI Penetration Testing engagement runs through Mitigator, InfoSight's proprietary threat-intelligence dashboard, and stays there for as long as you're a client.

  • A live portal, not a static report - see current AI risk posture any time, no waiting on the next PDF.
  • Remediation tracking, not a findings list - every finding carries a status: open, in progress, validated closed.
  • Trending over time, not a snapshot - see whether AI risk is going up or down release over release.
  • Board-ready views on demand - pull a current risk summary ahead of a board meeting or audit.
  • Exposure mapped to your frameworks - NIST AI RMF, OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GLBA - updated as findings are remediated.

Boston - Penetration Testing Frequently Asked Questions

Boston organizations in healthcare, biotechnology, and financial services face a growing range of threats, including ransomware, credential theft, and supply chain attacks. Penetration testing simulates these real-world techniques so Boston businesses can find and fix weaknesses before they are exploited.

Boston biotechnology organizations are typically expected to align with HIPAA and GLBA. Penetration testing identifies gaps in these controls and produces documented findings that support compliance reporting and risk assessments.

InfoSight's Boston penetration testing engagements can include internal and external networks, web and mobile applications, cloud infrastructure, and APIs, scoped to match the environment of healthcare, biotechnology, and financial services organizations.

Boston organizations should schedule testing annually, after significant system or infrastructure changes, and ahead of audits tied to HIPAA and GLBA, so vulnerabilities are addressed proactively rather than after an incident.

Most Boston penetration testing engagements are performed remotely, allowing InfoSight to test networks, applications, and cloud environments without disrupting daily operations, with onsite testing available when required.
