A customer asked for a security review.
Their questionnaire expects a current pentest report. You don't have one.
Penetration testing
A customer just asked for your pentest report. Here's how to get a real one without enterprise pricing.
CyberGuards scopes to what you actually ship — not an enterprise template — runs a real test, and delivers a report you can hand to a customer or auditor.

Is this right for your team?
You're probably here because of one of these.
An audit deadline is approaching.
SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or HIPAA — your auditor's control list includes periodic penetration testing.
You scaled past the "we run scanners" answer.
Scanners catch the easy bugs. Your customers and auditors are now asking what an attacker would actually do.
You're moving upmarket.
Bigger customers expect a current pentest report on file before they sign.
Your board or investors are asking.
You need a short, defensible answer on what was tested, what was found, and what was fixed.
If any of these match where you are right now, the rest of this page is for you.
What you walk away with
One engagement. Three audiences served.
Three-audience report
One document for a customer questionnaire, an auditor, or your board.
Working proof per finding
Every finding with a working proof of concept and a fix an engineer can paste into a ticket.
Retest included
Retest of reported findings after you fix them, included in scope.
Direct line to your tester
Direct line to the senior tester throughout the project and after delivery.
How an engagement works for a small team
Four steps. No surprises.
- 01
Quick scoping call
We learn what you ship, who your customers are, and what would hurt you most. You leave with a fixed scope, fixed price, and delivery date.
- 02
Hands-on testing
A senior tester runs the engagement end-to-end. Most smaller engagements cover one web application and an API in two to three weeks.
- 03
Report you'll actually read
One page for the board, an executive section for auditors, and a developer section engineers can paste into tickets.
- 04
Retest
After you fix things we retest and update the report — included in scope.
Need a pentest scoped for a small team?
A quick call gives you a fixed scope, price, and delivery date sized to what you actually ship.
Get a straight answer Honest answers to small business concerns
Things small business owners say before they hire us.
"We're too small for a real pentest."
If a customer or an auditor is asking, you're the right size. Most smaller engagements cover one web application and an API in two to three weeks.
"How much will this cost?"
Pricing is scope-based. We confirm a fixed price on the scoping call — no hourly billing, no surprises. The retest is included at no extra cost.
"What if I can't fix everything you find?"
We prioritize by business impact, not CVSS alone. The report tells you what to fix first, what can wait, and what a configuration change can address.
"Will testing affect production?"
We default to staging when one exists. Where production testing is necessary we agree safe-testing rules up front, throttle activity, and stay reachable on a shared channel.
"How long from kickoff to report?"
Most smaller engagements: two to three weeks of testing plus a week of reporting. We commit to a delivery date on the scoping call.
A real story.
“Two earlier vendor quotes were sized for an engagement we did not need. CyberGuards scoped to what we actually ship — one web application and an API — ran the test in three weeks, and the retest of the issues we fixed was already in the price. The report is exactly what our customer's security team asked us for.”
