VAPT & Compliance Pricing: How We Quote

Aesparrow prices VAPT, penetration testing and compliance consulting by scope, not by a one-size-fits-all rate card. Most engagements are quoted at a fixed price after a short scoping call, so you know the total cost — including the report, debrief and re-test — before any work starts.

Engagement models

Fixed-scope project

Best for: A single web app, mobile app, API, network or cloud assessment

We scope the targets, agree a fixed price and timeline, test, report and re-test the fixes once.

Explore VAPT services

Compliance programme

Best for: ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST or CMMC readiness

A phased, milestone-priced engagement: gap assessment, remediation support, policies, internal audit and audit support.

Explore Compliance consulting services

Annual security retainer

Best for: Teams that ship often or need testing several times a year

A pre-agreed number of test days or assessments per year, with priority scheduling and a lower day rate.

Explore Penetration testing services

Continuous / PTaaS

Best for: SaaS and product teams with frequent releases

Recurring testing tied to your release cycle, integrated with your ticketing and CI/CD pipeline.

Ask a question

How much does VAPT cost?

VAPT cost depends on scope — the number of applications, endpoints, roles or IP addresses — plus test depth, complexity and re-testing. A small single-application test costs far less than a multi-application, multi-cloud engagement. Share your scope and we will send a fixed-price quote, usually within one business day.

Do you offer fixed-price penetration testing?

Yes. After a short scoping call or questionnaire, most VAPT and penetration testing engagements are quoted at a fixed price that includes the report, a debrief call and one round of re-testing.

How much does ISO 27001 or SOC 2 consulting cost?

It depends on company size, number of locations and systems, how mature your current controls are and whether you need internal audit. We price compliance programmes by milestone so you know the total up front. Certification or attestation fees are paid separately to the accredited body or CPA firm.

Is re-testing included?

One round of re-testing of reported findings is included in fixed-scope VAPT engagements. Additional rounds can be added.

Why is a manual penetration test more expensive than a vulnerability scan?

A scan is automated and finds known issues; a manual penetration test uses certified testers to verify findings, chain weaknesses and test business logic — which is where the most damaging vulnerabilities are usually found. See our guide on vulnerability assessment vs penetration testing.
