Frequently asked questions
What are network penetration testing services?
Network penetration testing services simulate real-world cyberattacks to uncover vulnerabilities across internal, external, and wireless networks. Expert-led tests identify misconfigurations, weak access controls, and exploitable flaws in routers, firewalls, and connected devices helping organizations strengthen defenses, validate security controls, and prevent potential data breaches or lateral movement risks.
How does network penetration testing work?
The process begins with discovery and scoping, followed by automated scans and manual exploitation by certified experts. Vulnerabilities are validated, risk-scored, and mapped to compliance standards like PCI DSS, ISO, or NIST, with verified remediation guidance and follow-up rescans to ensure all issues are fixed and documented for audit readiness.
Why is network pen testing important?
Network penetration testing helps organizations uncover weaknesses before attackers do. It prevents data breaches, downtime, and financial losses by validating real-world exploit paths, while regular testing also ensures compliance, strengthens infrastructure security, and enables proactive risk management aligned with evolving threat landscapes and regulatory expectations.
How often should network pen testing be performed?
Network penetration testing should be performed at least once a year or after any major infrastructure change, migration, or incident. Continuous or quarterly testing offers stronger protection, allowing organizations to identify and fix vulnerabilities faster while maintaining compliance and adapting to emerging threats.
How much do network penetration testing services cost?
Network penetration testing services typically range from $5,000 to $40,000, depending on the scope, size, and complexity of the network. Pricing factors include internal vs. external testing, compliance mapping, automation depth, and ongoing monitoring needs, while expert validation ensures maximum accuracy and measurable ROI. Astra Security’s plans start at $199/IP.
Do these tests help meet compliance standards like PCI DSS?
Yes, network penetration tests align with compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and NIST. They provide audit-ready reports, verified remediation evidence, and continuous monitoring to help organizations maintain certification and demonstrate robust security practices to regulators and clients.
