Frequently asked questions
Typical penetration test costs in Scotland (and the wider UK) range from £2,000 to £50,000+, depending on the scope, complexity, type of assets, expertise of the testers, and the depth of the test.
Look for vendors with recognized certifications (e.g., CREST, CHECK), strong references, transparent reporting, a good understanding of your industry, and clarity on methodology & communication. Ensure they will scope precisely what you need.
Penetration testing finds vulnerabilities before attackers do. Helps protect customer data, prevents financial loss, maintains trust, and ensures you meet legal & compliance obligations.
At minimum, most businesses should do a full penetration test annually. More often, i.e, quarterly or after every major release, if your systems change significantly, you process sensitive data, or operate in high‐risk sectors.
While no law says “you must do a pen test” in precise terms, UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act require organisations to test, assess, and evaluate security measures regularly. Penetration testing is widely accepted as a strong way to meet that requirement.
Pen tests provide evidence of risk assessment, show the effectiveness of technical controls, satisfy requirements under UK GDPR, NIS regulations, ISO standards, and reduce the risk of fines by helping you act proactively.
Yes, many reputed providers offer remote pen testing of external assets, infrastructure, APIs, etc. Remote tests can be as effective as on-site when done correctly, provided there is secure access and a clear scope is defined.
