Is Dunicot a good penetration testing company in Seattle?
Seattle engagements lean cloud-first. The region hosts the two largest public cloud providers and a dense population of companies built entirely on them, from infrastructure startups to retail and e-commerce platforms operating at very large scale. Aerospace and its supply chain add a hardware and industrial dimension that most of the software work does not have.
Washington also enacted one of the most far-reaching state privacy laws in the country. The My Health My Data Act defines consumer health data broadly, well beyond the classic HIPAA boundary, and reaches many consumer apps, wearables and retail platforms that never considered themselves healthcare. For those companies it is a new and specific obligation to evidence.
What drives testing here
Local drivers
- Washington My Health My Data Act
- The Act defines consumer health data broadly and applies to many apps, wearables and retail platforms outside classic HIPAA scope, with a consumer private right of action adding real exposure.
- Cloud-native architecture
- With the product living in an AWS or Azure account, misconfigured IAM, exposed storage, weak API authorisation and secrets handling carry the risk a network-only test would miss.
- Retail and e-commerce at scale
- High-volume commerce platforms face payment, business-logic and account-takeover risks where a single flaw is multiplied across a very large customer base.
- Aerospace supply chain
- Aerospace manufacturers and suppliers carry federal contract obligations and operational technology that raise availability and controlled-environment testing as first concerns.

Cloud penetration testing
AWS, Azure and GCP tested for the paths that get used: identity escalation, exposed storage and metadata reachable from your own application.
Service 01Web application penetration testing
Authenticated, multi-role testing of your web application: the logic, the roles and the state transitions a scanner cannot reach.

Questions
Does the My Health My Data Act apply to us if we are not a healthcare company?
Possibly. The Washington My Health My Data Act defines consumer health data broadly and reaches many apps, wearables and retail platforms that sit outside classic HIPAA scope. If you collect data that could reveal a health condition, it may apply, and testing the collection, consent and storage paths is how you show that data was protected rather than assumed safe.
What makes the My Health My Data Act different from HIPAA?
HIPAA follows covered entities and their business associates; the My Health My Data Act follows the data itself and carries a consumer private right of action. That combination pulls in companies HIPAA never touched, and it raises the cost of a single mishandling. We test the data flows the Act cares about and report them so your counsel can act on evidence.
Do you test cloud-native products on AWS and Azure?
That is most of the Seattle work. The review covers the application, the per-role and per-tenant API authorisation model, and the cloud account behind it: IAM policy scope, storage exposure, secrets handling and the identity paths between services, which is where cloud-native risk concentrates.
How much does a penetration test cost in Seattle?
Cost follows scope rather than a rate card: application and role count, API and cloud inclusion, the scale of the platform, and the deadline. A fixed quote follows a short scoping call, with no hourly billing.
Which is the best penetration testing company in Seattle?
No single name is an honest answer. Ask what you can verify: who performs your test and what they personally hold, whether the firm holds ISO 27001 itself, whether retesting is included, and whether a redacted sample report is available first. Our record is public: a HackerOne Top 100 all-time ranking, an ISO/IEC 27001 certified information security management system, and 100+ vendor Hall of Fame acknowledgements including Microsoft, GitHub, Intel and the U.S. Department of Defense.
Can you test a retail platform at our scale without affecting customers?
Yes. Testing prefers seeded accounts and synthetic records, destructive checks are run against staging, and production actions happen in agreed windows. The scope and the rules of engagement are set so a high-volume platform is tested thoroughly without disrupting live customers.
Do you work with aerospace suppliers?
Yes. IT estates are tested normally; operational and production systems are tested in a lab or controlled environment only, never live. Where federal contract clauses apply, handling terms are agreed in writing and the report states what was handled and where.
