We are an agency. Can the report be issued in our client's name?
Yes. Many agencies ask us to address the report to the end client, or to both parties, so it can go straight to the client's security team. We agree this at booking. Findings stay confidential to the people you name, and the included retest lets you show the client that issues were fixed before launch.
Can you test a streaming platform without touching our licensed content?
Yes. We focus on the application and API: how entitlements, tokens and media links are checked, not on downloading your catalogue. We agree test accounts and safe limits with you first. Where we prove that unauthorised access is possible, we stop at the minimum evidence needed and record it in the report.
Does a pentest prove we meet the ICO Children's code?
No. The Children's code covers design choices, defaults and data use, and most of that is not something a pentest judges. What we do show is whether child profiles and data are actually protected: whether other users can reach them, what the API returns and whether privacy settings can be bypassed. That is useful evidence alongside your own DPIA.
Do you have an office in Salford?
No. CyberFortify has no Salford 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.
