Your SOC 2 audit is next week and you just realized you need a penetration test. Traditional firms are quoting you six weeks and $25,000. We solve this problem. At Affordable Penetration Testing, we deliver auditor-ready reports in five days, starting at just $2,000.
Think of automated penetration testing as a highly skilled cybersecurity expert that’s ready to go at a moment's notice. It’s a security service that uses powerful software to attack your systems and answer one simple question: "Can a hacker get in, and how?" Instead of waiting weeks for a consultant, our automated penetration testing process starts hunting for weaknesses almost immediately.
This isn't just a basic vulnerability scan. A real automated pentest goes way beyond surface-level checks. It simulates the exact steps an attacker would take, digging deep to find complex security flaws. This is a game-changer for businesses needing thorough, reliable security testing without the eye-watering costs and long waits of traditional firms.
The process is simple. We automate the repetitive tasks that bog down manual penetration testers. This frees up our human experts to do what they do best, which is validate the findings and give you practical advice. You get a comprehensive, auditor-ready report with clear instructions on how to fix everything.
When you’re facing an audit for SOC 2, you need to prove you’re actively testing your security. Our affordable penetration testing gives auditors exactly what they’re looking for: a systematic, repeatable, and documented assessment. The market for these services is growing fast because automated tools cut down manual effort by up to 70%. You can find out more about the penetration testing market growth and see for yourself.
It’s painfully slow and incredibly expensive. A typical firm will quote you $25,000 to $50,000 and then put you on a waiting list for 4-6 weeks. You don't have that kind of time, especially with a compliance audit breathing down your neck.
Automated penetration testing is the modern answer, built for the speed of business today. It delivers consistent, high-quality results at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time. It’s perfect for companies that need reliable security validation for ongoing compliance, like SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
The biggest difference is the timeline. Manual testing depends on consultant availability, creating massive bottlenecks. Our automated penetration testing process cuts out the wait. We can kick off your test immediately and deliver a full, actionable report in about five business days. That speed is everything when you're up against a hard deadline.
Manual penetration tests also introduce human variables. The quality of your report can change based on who is assigned to your project. Our automated pentest provides a consistent, methodical approach every single time. The software runs through a massive checklist of thousands of known attack vectors, making sure nothing gets missed. This systematic process removes the risk of human error.
This consistency is also what drives the massive cost savings. By automating the most time-consuming parts of the job, we can offer our penetration testing services starting at just $2,000. We pass those efficiency gains straight to you. For a deeper dive, you can explore the differences between automated, manual, and AI pentesting.
Your SOC 2 audit is just around the corner, and the auditor is asking for a penetration test. This is a common scenario where pressure builds fast. Waiting weeks for a traditional firm simply isn't an option. For companies needing to prove their security posture now, automated penetration testing is the most direct path to satisfying this critical requirement.
SOC 2 auditors need to see a thorough, documented assessment of your application and network security controls. Our process is designed to deliver exactly that. Our affordable penetration testing platform specifically targets the vulnerabilities that are most crucial for SOC 2 compliance, including access control flaws, insecure configurations, and data exposure risks.
Imagine your startup is about to close a massive enterprise contract, but the deal is contingent on you providing a clean SOC 2 report. A traditional firm just quoted you $30,000 with a six-week waiting period. This is exactly where our service makes the difference. Instead of accepting the delay, you can kick off a comprehensive pentest with us within 24-48 hours. In about five business days, you’ll have an auditor-ready report in hand.
You get the documentation needed to satisfy both your auditor and your new client, unblocking the contract and keeping your business moving forward. Our external penetration testing process is designed for this exact type of urgent need. You can learn more about how we assess your perimeter in our guide on external penetration testing.
We believe security testing shouldn't be a black box. You deserve to know exactly what’s happening and what you’re paying for. Plenty of traditional firms love complexity to justify inflated prices, but we don’t operate that way. Our entire process is built on clarity and speed, delivering a final, auditor-ready report in about five business days.
It all starts with a quick kickoff call. The only goal is to define the scope for your automated penetration testing so we can get started immediately. We guarantee your project will be underway within 24-48 hours of getting the green light. No scheduling bottlenecks, no waiting for a consultant to become available.
Once the scope is set, our platform gets to work. This is where our technology does the heavy lifting, simulating real-world cyberattacks against your systems. Our software methodically probes for thousands of known vulnerabilities. This phase is comprehensive and relentless, running tests that would take a manual tester weeks to finish. About 51% of companies outsource their penetration tests; our goal is to make this process far more efficient.
Automation is powerful, but raw automated results are notoriously noisy. That's why every single finding is manually validated by our team of certified security experts. They dig into each potential vulnerability, confirm if it can be exploited, and filter out all the noise. This hybrid approach gives you the speed of automation with the critical thinking of a human expert.
The last step is your report. It’s an actionable, compliance-ready document you can hand directly to your SOC 2 auditor. It includes a clear executive summary for leadership, detailed technical findings for your engineers, and step-by-step remediation guidance for every single issue. This is a complete security service designed for businesses that need both clarity and speed.
The real value of an automated penetration testing engagement isn't just finding vulnerabilities; it's getting a report your team can actually use to fix them. A dense, 100-page document filled with jargon doesn't help anyone. Our reports are built for action and clarity.
Your CISO, CEO, and compliance officers need to understand the business's overall risk. Our executive summary answers these questions in clear, direct language. It provides a high-level overview, summarizing the total number of vulnerabilities we found and breaking them down by severity. This gives leadership an immediate, at-a-glance understanding of your security health.
While leadership needs the big picture, your developers need granular, actionable details. Every single vulnerability we validate is documented with a clear description, a risk and severity rating, and a proof of concept. Most importantly, we give your team clear, step-by-step instructions on how to fix each issue for good.
Finally, our report is designed to be a document you can confidently hand over to your auditors. Whether it's for SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001, the report provides documented evidence of a thorough, third-party security assessment. This isn’t just a data dump from a scanner; it’s a professionally validated pentest report built for modern business needs.
Don't let slow, overpriced penetration testing services become a roadblock. Whether you're facing an urgent SOC 2 audit, trying to satisfy a client request, or just want to improve your security, we're ready to help right now. There's no reason to wait weeks or get approval for a massive budget.
You can launch your automated penetration test within 24-48 hours and have a complete, actionable report in your hands in about five business days. Our entire model is built for speed, affordability, and results. Our penetration testing services start at just $2,000, a fraction of the $25,000-$50,000 quotes from traditional firms.
Once you approve the quote, we get to work. We'll schedule a quick kickoff call to confirm the scope and then our team and automated platform take over. This rapid process is particularly effective for locking down web applications, which are often the number one target for attackers. You can learn more in our guide to web app pentesting.
Here are the straight-up answers to the questions we hear most often from IT managers, CISOs, and startup founders.
Nope, not even close. A vulnerability scan just jiggles the doorknobs. An automated penetration test tries to break the door down and see what it can access. We actively exploit the weaknesses we find to demonstrate real-world risk, which is what SOC 2 auditors want to see.
You'll have a complete, auditor-ready report in your hands in about five business days from kickoff. We can get the whole process started within 24-48 hours.
