Our prime contractor asked for a pentest on a defence programme. Can you do it?
Read the requirement carefully. If it specifies CHECK, involves classified systems, or sits under a government contract that requires CHECK, you need a CHECK company. CyberFortify is not one. If it is a commercial application, such as a supplier portal used on the programme, a CREST test usually satisfies the request.
Our system still uses SOAP interfaces from the early 2000s. Can you test them?
Yes. Older XML and SOAP services are part of your application if they are reachable, and they are often where serious issues hide. Send us the WSDL files or example requests and we include those endpoints in the same test.
Can the report help with our rail client's cyber security case?
It can support it. The report gives dated evidence of independent testing, findings with risk ratings, and confirmation of fixes after the retest. Your rail client's security case will still need your design, risk assessment and operational controls; the pentest is one piece of evidence within it.
Do you have an office in Derby?
No. CyberFortify has no Derby office. Web application and API tests run remotely, which is how almost all application pentests are delivered. Kick-off, critical alerts and the report walkthrough happen in UK working hours, and the price is the same £2,400 flat.
Why is it cheaper than UK day-rate firms?
Our AI Pentest Agent covers the breadth of your app: mapping every page and API route and checking the known issues. That frees our CREST-accredited engineers for exploitation, access control and business logic. Fewer billable days means one flat fee instead of a day rate. Every finding is still validated by a person before it reaches your report.
Is CyberFortify really CREST accredited?
Yes. CyberFortify is a CREST member company, accredited for Penetration Testing and AI-Enabled Penetration Testing, and a signatory of the CREST AI Charter. You can check our listing on the CREST Marketplace before you book.
What counts as one application?
One web product your users sign in to, plus the API behind it. Size doesn’t change the price: a large SaaS platform with many roles is still £2,400. A mobile app, an internal network or a cloud configuration review is a separate scope, and we’ll quote it on the call if you need it.
Is the price really fixed?
Yes. £2,400 per application, agreed on the scoping call before testing starts. The retest of your fixes is included. There are no day rates, so the invoice doesn’t grow if testing takes longer.
Is Cyber Essentials Plus the same as a penetration test?
No. Cyber Essentials Plus is a certification with a hands-on check of five basic controls. It doesn’t test your application for vulnerabilities the way a penetration test does.
Are you a CHECK company?
No. CHECK is the NCSC scheme for UK government and critical national infrastructure systems. If your contract names CHECK, you need a CHECK company, and we’ll tell you so on the call. CyberFortify is CREST accredited.
How fast can you start?
Testing usually starts within a week of the scoping call, and most reports are ready in four to seven working days. Criticals are flagged within 24 hours of discovery.
What happens to our data?
CyberFortify works under ISO 27001 certified processes. Client data from the engagement is disposed of afterwards, as set out in the statement of work. Every assignment carries professional liability insurance and Koop cyber insurance.
