Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Answers

It depends on scope, complexity, and how deeply we test. After a quick consultation, we’ll give you a clear, fixed-scope quote.

Most organizations test once a year. If you’re high-risk or things change fast, you’ll want to test every quarter.

Not always, but if you need to meet standards like ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or Cyber Essentials Plus, regular testing is a must.

Vulnerability scans are automated, they flag possible weaknesses. Penetration testing means a real person tries to exploit those weaknesses to see what’s actually at risk.
