Compliance-Driven Testing
Client Feedback
I was honestly in the market for box-ticking, but Adam went well beyond the other vendors I'd spoken to. He's given me a lot of very meaningful improvements, and I'm extremely glad I went with Exploitr.
Based on our experience, I have no hesitation in recommending Exploitr, and will be engaging them again.
Pricing FAQs
Penetration test costs in the UK typically range from £750 for a smaller website assessment up to £15,000+ for large, enterprise-level internal network engagements.
Typical price ranges for common assessment types:
At Exploitr, we provide fixed pricing based on your specific scope. All engagements are delivered by an experienced in-house consultant and nothing is outsourced.
No. Our pricing is based on scope, not location. Testing is delivered remotely, so working with clients in the US or Europe doesn't add a remote-working premium. We simply accommodate the relevant time zone for scoping calls, testing, and debrief sessions.
Accredited penetration testing in the UK is typically billed at £1,000 - £1,500 per day, and when their days run out testing stops whether the scope is fully covered or not.
Our fixed-scope penetration testing prices work out at a similar day rate, but we don't sell testing by the day. Every engagement is individually scoped, and a written fixed-scope proposal is agreed before testing begins. Testing continues until every agreed area has been assessed, not until a pre-paid number of days runs out, so you're paying for coverage rather than a countdown.
If you would prefer a day-rate based quote or are working to a budget, let us know during the scoping call and we'll do our best to accommodate your requirements.
Every engagement includes scoping, consultant-led testing, executive and technical reports, a debrief call and access to the Exploitr platform. Retesting of remediated findings is included for remotely delivered web application, API, website and external network engagements. See what's included in every penetration test for details.
A mid-sized SaaS application with multiple user roles, authentication, and complex business logic typically costs between £6,000 and £10,500+.
The final price depends on the number of user roles, the complexity of workflows, and the amount of functionality in scope.
API testing is often included in this type of engagement, but if you have a separate API that requires testing, that would be scoped as an additional engagement.
For more on the approach and what's included, see our SaaS penetration testing service page.
For network penetration testing, we price on the number of IP addresses in scope for an external assessment, or the number of networks, servers and workstations for an internal one. An external network with 20 IP addresses needs more time than one with 5.
For web application and API testing, we price on functionality and complexity rather than page or endpoint count. An application with file upload, multiple roles and custom business logic needs more testing time than one with simple read-only reporting.
Yes. PCI DSS requires penetration testing. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 don't mandate it by name, but a penetration test is a common way to provide the testing evidence auditors ask for.
Tell us your compliance context during scoping so the testing and reporting cover what your auditor or certification body needs.
Combined engagements, for example a web application testing alongside an external network assessment, are scoped as a single proposal and typically offer better value than booking separately. If you have multiple testing requirements, include them all in your quote request and we'll scope them together.
If you have a strict budget, are a start-up, or are concerned about costs, let us know during a scoping call or through the quote request form and we'll help where we can.
Yes. Smaller engagements, such as website security testing from £750 or external network testing from £2,400, are scoped for exactly this kind of budget.
If you're a start-up or working to a tight budget, let us know during scoping and we'll help identify the highest-priority areas to test first, so testing can be phased as your budget allows.
Our standard lead time is 2-3 weeks from the point of agreement.
If you have a compliance deadline, audit date, or product launch driving your timeline, let us know during scoping and we'll do our best to accommodate it. Urgent engagements may be possible depending on our availability.
Our PTaaS subscription pricing is based on the volume of testing time contracted each month and the length of term (6 or 12 months). Retesting and access to the Exploitr platform are included, so you can track findings and request retests as issues are fixed.
PTaaS can be more cost-effective than repeated one-off tests for organisations with fast-changing environments or ongoing development. We can discuss the right level of coverage during a scoping call.
