The output is a technical report listing the findings, their severity level, and remediation recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>The issue is that &#8216;pentesting&#8217; covers a wide range of things. Testing a single web application is very different from auditing an entire infrastructure. And that difference has a direct impact on the budget.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-most-common-types-of-penetration-test\">The most common types of penetration test<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Web application pentest:<\/strong> OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS, broken authentication, etc.) in one or more applications<\/li><li><strong>Network \/ infrastructure pentest:<\/strong> servers, firewalls, VPNs and network devices<\/li><li><strong>Mobile app pentest:<\/strong> iOS and Android \u2014 communications, local storage, APIs<\/li><li><strong>Red team engagement:<\/strong> full attack simulation combining technical exploitation and social engineering<\/li><li><strong>Cloud security review:<\/strong> AWS, Azure or GCP configurations, access controls, exposed storage<\/li><\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-a-professional-pentest-deliverable-looks-like\">What a professional pentest deliverable looks like<\/h3>\n<p>A proper penetration test includes a reconnaissance phase, vulnerability exploitation, privilege escalation where applicable, and a report classifying findings by severity (critical, high, medium, low, informational). Most engagements also include a results presentation and a remediation meeting.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-drives-the-cost-of-a-penetration-test\">What drives the cost of a penetration test<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Scope:<\/strong> number of applications, IP ranges or domains in scope. More assets = more time = higher cost<\/li><li><strong>Methodology:<\/strong> black-box (no credentials), grey-box (user-level access) or white-box (full code access). White-box is the most thorough and most expensive<\/li><li><strong>Depth:<\/strong> automated scanning plus basic manual review costs less than a full red team engagement with social engineering<\/li><li><strong>Certifications:<\/strong> CREST-accredited or CHECK-approved providers typically charge more, but the technical standard is higher<\/li><li><strong>Retest:<\/strong> some quotes include a verification round after vulnerabilities are fixed; others do not<\/li><\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"penetration-testing-prices-in-the-uk-in-2026\">Penetration testing prices in the UK in 2026<\/h2>\n<p>The UK market in 2026 shows the following price ranges:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Type of pentest<\/th><th>Approximate price<\/th><th>Estimated duration<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Web app pentest (single app)<\/td><td>\u00a33,000 \u2013 \u00a38,000<\/td><td>3-5 days<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Web app pentest (multiple apps)<\/td><td>\u00a38,000 \u2013 \u00a325,000<\/td><td>1-3 weeks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Infrastructure \/ network pentest<\/td><td>\u00a36,000 \u2013 \u00a330,000<\/td><td>5-15 days<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mobile app pentest (iOS or Android)<\/td><td>\u00a34,000 \u2013 \u00a312,000<\/td><td>3-7 days<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Red team engagement<\/td><td>\u00a320,000 \u2013 \u00a380,000<\/td><td>2-6 weeks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Day rate (senior consultant)<\/td><td>\u00a31,000 \u2013 \u00a32,500\/day<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<p>These are indicative figures.

But for most mid-sized businesses, the cost of a dedicated team \u2014 salaries, tools, continuous training to stay current \u2014 comfortably exceeds the cost of one or two external pentests per year.<\/p>\n<p>A senior cybersecurity analyst in the UK earns between \u00a355,000 and \u00a390,000 per year. A full external pentest covering web and infrastructure typically costs between \u00a315,000 and \u00a335,000. And the external provider brings fresh perspective that an internal team inevitably loses over time.<\/p>\n<p>The typical setup for mid-sized UK companies: one or two internal people for monitoring and day-to-day management, plus annual or bi-annual external pentests with a specialist provider.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-look-for-before-hiring-a-penetration-testing-company\">What to look for before hiring a penetration testing company<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ask to see a sample report (anonymised).
