FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How much does penetration testing cost in New Zealand?

Penetration testing in New Zealand typically ranges between $5,000 and $30,000 NZD, depending on the scope and complexity. Small web app or network tests typically start at around $5,000, while enterprise, cloud, or advanced red team engagements can exceed $30,000, with some reaching $ 50,000 or more for large environments.

How do I choose the best penetration testing companies in New Zealand?

Selecting the right provider requires verifying certifications, such as CREST, OSCP, or CISSP, along with proven experience in local industries like finance and SaaS. Businesses should prioritize clear reporting, strong remediation support, compliance expertise, and reputation. Well-regarded firms include Astra Security, ZX Security, and more.

Why is penetration testing important for businesses in New Zealand?

Penetration testing is vital for identifying vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them. It demonstrates compliance with the Privacy Act 2020, builds customer trust, and supports cyber insurance requirements. By validating existing defenses and strengthening incident response capabilities, businesses can reduce breach risk and enhance their overall resilience against cyber threats.

How often should companies in New Zealand conduct penetration tests?

Most organizations should conduct penetration tests annually or following major changes in infrastructure or applications. Higher-risk sectors, or those with frequent system updates, may require more frequent assessments, such as quarterly or semi-annual assessments, alongside continuous monitoring.

Is penetration testing required under New Zealand’s data protection or cybersecurity laws?

The Privacy Act 2020 requires organizations to take “reasonable steps” to protect personal data, where penetration testing is widely accepted as one such measure. While not legally mandated in all cases, sector-specific regulations, contracts, and customer requirements often make penetration testing a practical necessity for compliance.
