What does a Penetration Test cost?
The average cost of a Penetration Test is impacted by the number of IP addresses and URL’s, size and complexity of the IT infrastructure, number of physical locations and data centers, network segmentation, and timing of the service.
In evaluating the cost for a Penetration Test, many industry analysts point to the TCO (total cost of ownership). The TCO for a penetration test includes the methodology and approach used, the experience of the testers, and the quality of the end product.
The starting cost for a typical penetration test for 50 IP’s is $10,000. A penetration test must follow a sound approach, with experienced assessors being able to provide tremendous value to the organization.
Why Use TrustNet to Perform a Penetration Test?
Organizations have a complex network of protective measures, like technology, software, and human expertise, that helps keep customer information and sensitive data safe.
Penetration testing, also known as pen testing or ethical hacking, involves hiring a third-party company like TrustNet to analyze your systems, protocols, and procedures. They would then attempt to attack and infiltrate them just as a genuine cybercriminal would.
Having an experienced and independent team allows an organization to test those systems. For over a decade TrustNet has performed penetration tests to help organizations uncover hidden security vulnerabilities. Our proven methodology provides actionable steps for ensuring the security of your systems.
Penetration testing cost: variables that affect it
Penetration testing is a type of security testing that aims to identify vulnerabilities in computer networks or applications. The cost of a penetration test is determined by the number of variables you encounter during the testing:
Size. The size of the organization and its complexity has a direct impact on the cost of penetration testing. The number of personnel and branches is referred to as size, while complexity is defined by the intricacy of apps, servers, IP addresses, facilities, and databases.
Scope. The scope is the specific area that a penetration test will examine. The scope serves as a roadmap for the testing, stating what priority areas will be examined in your application or network. It also specifies the organization’s aim in performing the examination.
Methodology. Penetration testing pricing is determined by the type of test and its thoroughness. The use of various methodologies results in diverse focus areas and incorporates a different number of tests. Once again, changing or adding specific tests affects penetration testing costs.
Experience. Experience is important to most clients. It is a typical practice for established businesses to charge more based on their service history, credentials, and experience. This is because mastery comes with experience, which is essential to performing this assignment without breaking the system.
Remediation. The penetration tests are concluded post-reporting. Some services, on the other hand, go above and beyond and assist you in addressing the flaws. This may frequently result in an increase in overall costs.
Different penetration testing techniques come with varying costs.
White box penetration testing cost. A white box penetration test is a form of network security testing in which the pentester is given access to the system’s inner workings before starting. A white box pentesting can cost anywhere from $500 to $2000 per scan.
Black box penetration testing cost. A black box penetration test is a form of pen testing in which the pentester receives almost no information about the target system beforehand. The prices range from $10,000 to $50,000 per scan.
Gray box testing is a penetration testing method in which the pentester is given some information about the system ahead of time. The cost of Gray box pentesting ranges between the aforementioned two methods.
