Penetration Testing for Startups

An enterprise prospect wants a penetration test report before they'll sign. An investor is asking how you know your product is secure. We do penetration testing built for startups: manual testing against the OWASP Top 10, investor-ready reports in 2-3 weeks, starting at $5,000 — so you can pass enterprise security reviews without enterprise timelines or budgets.

Web application testing — manual testing covering the OWASP Top 10
API testing — authentication, authorization, and business logic flaws
Cloud configuration review — the misconfigurations attackers actually exploit

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our penetration testing

What does the penetration test cover?

Manual testing of your web application and APIs against the OWASP Top 10, plus a review of your cloud configuration and external attack surface. Every engagement includes a retest of remediated findings.

How long does it take?

Standard tests run 2-3 weeks from kickoff to final report, including the retest window.

Can we share the report with our enterprise customer?

Yes — that's exactly what it's for. The report includes an executive summary, methodology, findings, and remediation evidence, written to satisfy enterprise security reviews.

Do you just run automated scanners?

No. We use tooling to support the work, but the testing is manual — a human tester thinking like an attacker, which is what finds the issues scanners miss.
