Our API serves large gridded datasets. Will testing affect performance for customers?
We design tests to avoid that. Heavy endpoints are tested with small requests first, and any rate limit or resource exhaustion checks are agreed in advance and run against staging where possible. We warn you before any test that could create noticeable load, and stop if your monitoring shows impact.
We are preparing for NHS DTAC. Do you also test the clinician mobile app?
The £2,400 covers the web application and its API, which is usually where DTAC reviewers focus first because patient data lives there. Native mobile apps are scoped separately. If your mobile app calls the same API, testing that API already covers much of the risk.
Do you test open data endpoints that are meant to be public?
Yes. Public does not mean unprotected. We check that open endpoints cannot be abused for injection or denial of service, that they do not return fields meant to be private, and that public and authenticated APIs do not share keys or logic in unsafe ways.
Do you have an office in Exeter?
No. CyberFortify has no Exeter 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.
