How to get a pentest quote?
We customize our penetration testing offers to match your specific needs and requirements. The time and cost involved largely depend on the attack vectors to be assessed and the complexity of the systems or applications in scope. Although we use a range of tools during our assessments, manual work remains the primary component. Therefore, it is crucial to clearly define what exactly you would like tested. The more detailed information you provide upfront, the more precisely we can tailor the pentest offer to your requirements.
In general, we recommend a gray box approach — meaning you would provide us with information that saves us time when carring out the pentest. This significantly increases the efficiency of the pentest. To prepare a tailored pentest offer, the following information would be helpful depending on the scope and target:
- Offer external pentest - For an external penetration test (attack vector via the internet): Please provide your public IP addresses, IP address ranges, and domains. This information is public by nature. We would then conduct a non-invasive preliminary port scan to identify available services.
- Offer internal pentest - For an internal penetration test (attack vector via on-site access or a jump host): Details about the number of employees, IT workstations, and servers would help us estimate the appropriate time effort for the pentest.
- Offer web application pentest - For a penetration test of self-developed software or applications: A description of the application, and ideally demo credentials or a live demonstration, would be very helpful. Understanding the complexity of the application (e.g., number of forms, user roles, download/upload features) is essential to creating a tailored pentest offer.

Pentest-Methodology
A penetration test is a structured attack on IT systems or applications to identify potential vulnerabilities. It uses the same tools and techniques that real attackers would use to break into a system. Thus, a penetration test is not an automated vulnerability scan. On the contrary, a penetration test as a service is always a combination of using security tools and conducting manual tests to uncover vulnerabilities. While a real attacker only needs to find and exploit a single vulnerability, a penetration tester checks all relevant attack vectors.
Having a structured approach is one of the most important factors For this purpose, we use our own platform PTDoc®, a specialized pentest documentation tool that logs all manual testing steps in full compliance with all relevant security standards and translates them into a clear, reproducible report for you. Since this tool significantly reduces the overhead of report generation, it allows us to focus entirely on our core mission as pentesters: identifying and analyzing critical security flaws. to achive this in order to provide a professional pentesting service. Our approach is based on all relevant standards and publications.
How We Work
From Planning to Re-Testing
Preparations
We coordinate the technical and organisational framework for the penetration test, communication channels, points of contact and testing windows. Depending on the project, this is done through a kick-off meeting or a brief exchange via e-mail. Where required, the client provides relevant technical documentation and access to the systems within scope.
Conducting
The penetration test is performed using a structured and risk-oriented assessment approach that combines automated analysis techniques with extensive manual testing. The specific test cases and assessment procedures depend on the actual conditions, technologies and attack surface encountered within the target environment.
Reporting
After the assessment, we prepare a detailed report including an executive summary, risk ratings, technical details and remediation recommendations. Findings are documented in a clear and reproducible manner and critical issues are communicated immediately during the engagement if required.
Debriefing
We are happy to review the findings and recommendations together with your team. During the debriefing, we explain technical details, potential impacts and remediation priorities, while answering questions and discussing next steps.
Re-Testing
After remediation, we verify whether the identified findings have been successfully resolved and update the report accordingly. Re-testing is generally included for remote assessments and provides assurance that the implemented measures are effective.
Getting an Offer for a pentest
Pentest are always a compromise between effort and cost, to get a reasonable price. Successful pentest offer a good balance between these criteria to facilitate the testing of all relevant attacks and attack vectors. The cost of such a test always depends on the time the penetration tester spends and on the extent and complexity of the IT system or web applications. While a penetration test for a small application takes only some days, it can take several weeks for a large network or complex application.
For a pentest offers we do require prior information about the systems and applications that are to be examined. It is important that we get an initial impression of the target. For web applications, for example, test access can be helpful. Any additional information, e.g. the framework etc., can make it easier for us to draft a suitable offer for you. If you need us to pentest an IT system, we will need the corresponding network addresses in advance. In this particular case, we will first perform a non-invasive network scan to get a first look at your network. We will provide a detailed offer once we can estimate the effort required.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Hosting critical business applications on a cloud provider such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud or Hetzner Cloud is becoming increasingly common.
Of course we perform penetration tests for applications hosted in the cloud. This also applies to penetration testing of cloud-based IT infrastructures, provided that the virtual machines are not managed directly by the cloud provider.
We perform penetration tests for almost any IT environment, system, application or network – right down to protocol fuzzing. Only the analysis of hardware chips under a microscope is something we leave to others.
Typical targets of our penetration tests include:
