Penetration Testing Cost & Packages

Penetration testing is scoped to your environment, so the price depends on what you're testing and how much of it. One-off tests start at $4,200, a typical engagement runs around $8,000, and larger or multi-environment scopes go up from there. We give you a custom quote based on your actual scope, so you pay for the testing you actually need, nothing you don't.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a penetration test cost?

There is no flat rate, because a real test is scoped to your environment. A typical engagement runs around $8,000 to $9,000, with smaller single-target tests below that and larger, multi-environment or enterprise scopes well above it. We give you a custom quote based on your actual scope.

What drives the price?

The price scales with how much we test: the number of external IPs and domains, internal IPs, web pages, API endpoints, and user roles, plus the number of locations. More surface area means more testing hours, which is the honest reason quotes vary.

Why is it priced by the hour?

A real test is human work, so we scope it in testing hours and tell you exactly how many the engagement takes. A vendor that quotes a flat price without asking about your scope is guessing, and that usually means a scanner.

What is included?

Every engagement includes the full report with each finding explained and ranked, business impact and remediation guidance, a free re-test after you patch, and a letter of attestation for your auditor.
