We offer a variety of penetration testing services to meet different security needs:
Penetration test scoping is a crucial initial step in our process. We begin by meeting with you to understand your specific needs, the scope of the project, and your overall security objectives. During this meeting, we'll ask a few simple yet important questions to gather necessary information about your systems, applications, and network environment. Using this information, we determine the amount of time needed to conduct a thorough and effective penetration test. Based on our assessment, we then provide a fixed-price quote for our services, ensuring transparency and allowing you to budget effectively for the security assessment.
Of course, you can download a sample application pentest report here.
The cost of a penetration test varies based on the size and complexity of the project. A penetration test for a simple application or small network generally starts at $3,950. For more complex applications with many user roles or features, or larger networks, we'll provide a fixed-price quote after an initial scoping call to ensure we thoroughly understand your needs and the scope of the testing required.
Our assessments are performed by experienced US-based security professionals who conduct remote investigations, review documentation, and contribute to the presentation of findings in the report.
Our team holds industry-leading credentials, including OSCP, OSWA, PWPP, and CAPenX.
All penetration tests come with two primary deliverables:
A comprehensive report detailing the findings of the test. This report outlines identified vulnerabilities, their potential impact, and recommendations for remediation. It serves as a valuable resource for your team to address any security gaps.
A letter describing the test and its scope. This attestation letter is perfect for fulfilling client requirements and demonstrating that a professional security assessment has been conducted on your systems.
Yes, our penetration tests can be used to help fulfill compliance requirements for many of the major regulatory frameworks and standards, including SOC2, HIPAA, or GDPR. Our thorough assessments and comprehensive reports provide the necessary documentation and insights to support your compliance efforts.
Our testing methodology adheres to audit procedures and established criteria, ensuring consistency and compliance with industry standards, including the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard requirement 11.4. Our examination follows information system security assessment best practices outlined by the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (“OSSTMM”) and The National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) Special Publication 800-42, Guideline on Network Security Testing.
Web application penetration tests cover OWASP security threats, including:
The duration of a penetration test depends on the size and complexity of the project. Typically, reports are delivered within 2-4 weeks.
Yes, one round of retesting is included with our penetration tests. After we provide the initial report and your team addresses the vulnerabilities found, we conduct a retest to ensure that the remediation actions have been successfully implemented. We then provide you with an updated report reflecting the current security status of your systems.
