Penetration Testing FAQs

Our penetration tests start from £1,800 for focused assessments. Final pricing depends on target scope, complexity, and testing approach (black-box, grey-box, or white-box).

We provide fixed-price proposals with clear scope and no hidden costs. You can view our pricing guide or request a quote for a tailored estimate.

Typical timelines are:

• Web application testing: 3–5 days
• External/internal network testing: 3–7 days (depending on size)
• API testing: 2–4 days
• Red team engagements: 2–6 weeks

We confirm timelines during scoping so you know exactly what to expect before testing starts.

Every engagement includes:

• Executive summary for non-technical stakeholders
• Technical findings with reproduction steps and evidence
• Risk ratings (CVSS where appropriate)
• Prioritised remediation guidance
• Debrief session to walk through the results

Our goal is to give both leadership and technical teams clear next steps.

Yes. We include a complimentary focused re-test for in-scope findings once your team has completed remediation.

This helps confirm fixes are effective and gives you assurance before closing the engagement.

We agree rules of engagement before testing and avoid destructive techniques unless explicitly authorised.

Where needed, we can schedule higher-impact testing windows outside business hours to minimise operational risk.

Yes. We test cloud-hosted applications and infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and routinely assess modern web/API architectures.

We align testing to provider policies and real-world attack paths relevant to your deployment model.

Yes. The approach is agreed during scoping based on your objectives, risk profile, and compliance requirements.

If useful, we can combine approaches in a single engagement to provide broader coverage without unnecessary cost.

Most projects can be scoped quickly, with a fixed quote typically provided within one business day after we understand your requirements.
