Tim: We had some security review work done on several of our major administrative systems last year (several different engagements) that included some penetration testing (well beyond just scanning for vulnerabilities). The firm we used was SystemsExperts, Inc. based in Boston (but with offices around the country). You can find contact information at http://www.systemexperts.com/. They are very professional and did an excellent job for us.

We are looking at having someone do an "real" penetration test of our network and our systems. I would like to avoid any company that just comes in and scans our network for vulnerabilities (i.e. a ISS scan) as we can do this ourselves. If anyone has any recommendations as to which companies out there provide the best service, I would appreciate any good or bad experiences.
