Pentest Cost: Penetration Test Cost

How much does a pentest cost?

The pentest cost depend on the time it takes to conduct the penetration test itself. This is always individually dependent on the attack vector to be checked and the complexity of the targeted systems, applications or company. Usually it starts at 2 days and ends at around 20 days. Most orders for a penetration test are around 5 days.

Depending on the provider and the target industry, the daily pentest rate is between €1,470 and €1,960 per day. Discounts are often dependent on the customer industry and the total order volume. You will usually receive a discount for regular yearly recurring orders, that reduce the pentest cost.

Typically, the penetration test cost at binsec GmbH range between 3,000 and 25.000 euros.

Our service in a nutshell:
Conducting Penetration Testing (Pentest)

Since 2013 our certified penetration tester team conduct pentest for IT infrastructures, web applications and mobile APPs (iOS / Android) and using a structured approach based on all relevant publications. As a service provider evaluate the identified and exploited vulnerabilities based on the associated business risk and compiling it into a report that contains a summary for the IT management and the technical details of the vulnerabilities identified. After you fix the vulnerabilities, we usually perform a retest without any additional charge.

Pentest-Methodology

Pentest use the same tools and techniques that real attackers would use to break into a system. It includes the use of security tools and carrying out manual tests to uncover vulnerabilities. Thus is it not a automatic vulnerability assessment. On the contrary, as a service provider for penetration testing we are using the same tools and techniques that real attackers would use to break into a system. But while a real attacker only needs to find and exploit one vulnerability, a penetration tester checks all relevant attack vectors.

Having a structured approach is one of the most important factors to achive this in order to provide a professional pentesting service. Our approach is based on all relevant standards and publications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Of course. Please contact us for a pentest example report.

It is difficult to give an generalized answer to this question, since the toolset used basically depends on the respective test object. Of course, we use tools such as nmap to check IT infrastructures or the Burp Suite Professional in the case of web applications.

However, we believe that publishing a tool list is mere window dressing, as each target system should be tested individually. However, you are welcome to ask us about the tools we used after the pentest.

If you fix the vulnerabilities within a reasonable amount of time, we would be glad to retest at no additional cost.
Hosting a critical business application on a cloud provider such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure or Hetzner Cloud is becoming more and more common. Of course, we conduct penetration test for applications that are operated in the cloud. This also applies to cloud infrastructure penetration test as long as the virtual machines are not managed by the cloud provider itself.
There are three approaches based on the information a penetration tester gets before starting: Black-Box-Pentest, Grey-Box-Pentest and White-Box-Pentest. We always recommend going for grey box pentesting. It has the best cost-benefit ratio if you like to get your complete attack surface tested.
Of course, we also offer Offensive Security and Red Teaming. Basically they are a subcategory of pentesting with a very strong focus on unstructured Ethical Hacking.
We can pentest any business, IT system, application or network, right down to protocol fuzzing. We only leave the analysis of hardware chips under the microscope to others. We test for example:
