FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does penetration testing cost in Australia?
Penetration testing in Australia typically costs between $3,000 and $30,000 depending on scope and testing type. A web application penetration test for a single application usually costs $3,000 to $8,000. A full infrastructure penetration test across a medium-sized network typically costs $8,000 to $20,000. Red team engagements for larger organisations range from $20,000 upwards. We provide a fixed-price quote after a free scoping call.
What is the ACSC Essential Eight and do I need to comply?
The Essential Eight is a set of eight baseline cyber security strategies developed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre to protect organisations against cyber threats. While mandatory compliance only applies to non-corporate Commonwealth entities, the Essential Eight is widely recommended for all Australian businesses as a practical baseline. We assess your current Essential Eight maturity level and provide a roadmap to reach your target maturity level.
How long does a SOC 2 audit take in Australia?
A SOC 2 Type I audit typically takes 2 to 4 months from initial gap assessment to report. A SOC 2 Type II audit covers a minimum observation period of 6 months and typically takes 9 to 12 months from start to final report. We help Australian companies implement the required controls and automate evidence collection to significantly reduce the manual effort involved.
What is the difference between a vulnerability scan and a penetration test?
A vulnerability scan is an automated process that identifies known vulnerabilities in your systems using scanning tools. A penetration test goes further, with a qualified tester actively attempting to exploit vulnerabilities to determine their real-world impact. Both serve different purposes. Vulnerability scanning is typically done monthly or quarterly as ongoing monitoring, while penetration testing is conducted annually or after significant system changes.
Do you offer cyber security services outside Sydney and Melbourne?
Yes. We provide cyber security services to organisations across all Australian states and territories including Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, and regional areas. Most of our penetration testing and compliance work is conducted remotely, with on-site engagements available for physical security assessments and red team operations.
