What affects penetration testing cost?
The largest pricing variables are scope size and complexity. A single small application with a few roles is different from a multi-tenant SaaS platform with many APIs, privileged workflows and several environments.
- Number of applications and endpoints
- API count and architecture
- Number and type of user roles
- Authenticated and unauthenticated testing
- Number of environments
- Mobile platforms
- Cloud accounts and services
- Depth of business-logic and attack-path testing
