Penetration testing should be performed for a variety of reasons. Some of the more common reasons why companies perform penetration tests include

• Most relevant regulatory standards require penetration tests are performed.
• Network penetration testing can identify vulnerabilities inadvertently introduced during changes to the environment, such as a major upgrade or system reconfiguration.
• Web Application testing can be integrated into the QA process of the Software Development Life Cycle to prevent security bugs from entering into production systems.
• Organizations, especially those acting as data custodians, are being required to have testing performed by their customers. Penetration testing can demonstrate a commitment to security from a customer perspective and provide attestation that their assets or services are being managed securely.

The test can take at least 1-10 days depending upon complexity of application and depth of testing requirements. We always provide clients prior information and schedule test with planning so that there are no hitches when penetration testing takes place.

Although we take every effort to make sure that our penetration testing is not disruptive, there are instances that it can. Sometimes old servers, operating systems, or software driving your applications that hasn’t been properly patched may freeze up during the testing procedure. We always coordinate our efforts according to your schedule and can also accommodate testing after peak hours. It’s always best to have a member of your team to be able to readily access critical servers or infrastructure while the penetration testing is in progress so we can discover and eliminate any weaknesses during the penetration test, rather than ignore the situation and allow a malicious use.

The cost for network penetration testing varies greatly. A number of factors are used to determine pricing including, but not limited to the scope of the project, the size of the environment, the quantity of systems, and the frequency of testing. always recommend fixed-fee basis model to eliminate any unexpected costs or unplanned expenditures. The quoted fee will include all resources and required time frame and scope of project.
