We sell to multi-academy trusts. Will you test isolation between schools?
Yes, it is one of the first things we check. We set up accounts in at least two schools or trusts and try to cross between them through the interface, API, exports and reports. We also test staff, pupil and parent roles within a school, and how safeguarding information is protected from users who should not see it.
Our machine monitoring dashboard talks to factory equipment. How far does your test go?
We test the web dashboard, its API and any device-facing endpoints exposed to the internet. We do not test PLCs, control networks or the machines themselves, and we agree that boundary in writing first. If we find a route from the web app towards operational systems, we stop, record it and tell you straight away.
A main contractor asked for a pentest of our site safety app. What will they want to see?
Usually an independent report from an accredited firm, findings ranked by severity, and confirmation that serious issues are fixed. They may also ask whether both the web portal and its API were in scope. Our £2,400 test covers both, and the included retest gives you the closure evidence they need.
Do you have an office in Sheffield?
No. CyberFortify has no Sheffield 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.
