Penetration Testing Services for Small and Mid-Sized Business

Penetration Testing Services for Small and Mid-Sized Business

The first question almost everyone asks is what a penetration test costs, and the honest answer is that it depends entirely on scope. Price is driven by how many external IP addresses and hosts are in range, how many internal network segments we have to reach, how many web applications and APIs are in the test, how many distinct user roles and authentication paths each application has, whether social engineering such as phishing is included, whether testing has to happen outside business hours, and whether a retest after your fixes is bundled or quoted separately. A single external perimeter test on a handful of public IPs sits at the low end of any testing firm's range. A multi-application, multi-role, internal-and-external engagement with phishing and a retest sits at the high end. We scope in writing before we quote, so you can see exactly which of those factors is driving your number and drop anything you do not need. Requirements are the second question. Most businesses come to us because a contract, a cyber insurance application, a customer security questionnaire, PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA risk analysis expectations, or a state privacy obligation told them they need testing. Those frameworks generally require testing at a defined frequency and after significant changes, and they require evidence: a scoped report, findings with severity, and proof of remediation. What they almost never require is a specific brand of tool or a particular certification on the invoice. We will read the actual clause you are trying to satisfy and tell you plainly whether a penetration test is what it asks for, or whether a vulnerability scan, a configuration review, or an independent audit is the real requirement. Where an independent accredited assessor is legally required, we say so and deliver that portion with accredited partners rather than claiming it ourselves.

We are a Florida technology services firm that already builds and runs networks, websites and software for small and mid-sized businesses, so our testing is done by people who understand how systems like yours are actually built and maintained. We perform external perimeter testing, internal network testing, web application testing and API testing, either as separate engagements or as one combined scope. Every engagement starts with a written scope and rules of engagement, runs against agreed targets and time windows, and ends with a report that separates real exploitable findings from noise. The deliverable is built to be used, not filed. You get an executive summary a non-technical owner or board can read, a technical findings section with severity ratings, reproduction steps, evidence and specific remediation guidance, and a prioritized fix list your IT team or ours can work through. Because we also do remediation and managed IT work, we can hand the findings straight to a team that will fix them, or hand them to your existing provider and stay out of the way. We will tell you which we recommend and why, and we will not hold the report hostage to a services contract.
