FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What compliance standards matter for penetration testing in London?

In London, key compliance standards include GDPR/Data Protection Act 2018, PCI DSS for payment data, ISO 27001 for information security, and NIS Regulations for critical services. Healthcare providers follow the NHS DSPT, while finance firms may need to use SWIFT CSP. These frameworks often require or strongly recommend regular penetration testing.

How much does penetration testing cost in London?

The cost of penetration testing in London varies widely, typically ranging from £3,000 to £20,000 depending on scope, complexity, and business size. Factors include the number of systems tested, the depth of testing, and whether compliance-driven reports are needed. Enterprise-level assessments or red team engagements cost significantly more.

How do I choose the best penetration testing company in London?

When choosing a penetration testing company in London, look for CREST or CHECK accreditations, proven experience in your industry, and transparent methodologies. Consider how detailed their reporting is, whether they provide remediation guidance, and their ability to align tests with your compliance needs, such as PCI DSS or GDPR.

How long does a penetration test take for London-based businesses?

Penetration testing for London businesses can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on scope and complexity. A small web application test may require 3–5 days, while a large corporate network or red team engagement could run several weeks, including reporting and remediation validation phases.

Can London penetration testing be done remotely, or is on-site required?

Most penetration testing for London companies can be performed remotely, especially for web applications, APIs, and external networks. Onsite testing may be required for internal infrastructure, wireless networks, or highly regulated environments like finance or healthcare. Many firms offer a hybrid model to balance convenience with compliance requirements.
