How frequently should penetration testing be done?

The frequency varies from one organization to another, depending on the nature of its operations and how likely it is to be targeted by attackers. For businesses dealing with highly sensitive data or critical infrastructure, penetration tests should be scheduled multiple times a year to stay ahead of evolving threats and attack techniques.

Why would someone target my site if I don’t store sensitive data?

Even if your website doesn’t hold sensitive information, it can still be a target. Cyberattacks aren’t always about stealing data—attackers might be testing their skills, using your server to spread malware, hosting phishing pages, or making money in other ways.

How much does a penetration test cost?

The cost depends on what areas you need tested and how in-depth the testing should be. A more extensive test will naturally require more time and resources, leading to a higher price. To get an accurate estimate, it’s best to ask for a personalized quote.

Should a penetration test be conducted in the production or pre-production environment?

There is no definitive answer, as the decision should be based on your specific objectives and priorities. Conducting a penetration test in the pre-production environment can be beneficial, as it closely mirrors the final production setup without impacting user-facing services or client operations.

How do you present the flaws that you found?

Bugquell offers a comprehensive audit report that outlines the testing process, detailing what was tested, the methods used, the vulnerabilities discovered, and how to exploit them. The report also features screenshots, stolen data excerpts, and attack replay scenarios.
