Reduce Penetration Testing Costs by Up to 95%

Most companies perform penetration testing every year. It is required for compliance, customer trust, or simply to keep their business secure.

However, there is one thing that almost never changes.

The invoice.

In fact, it often gets higher every year because of inflation or increasing consulting rates.

But should penetration testing really work this way?

We do not think so.

The Problem with Traditional Penetration Testing

Most penetration testing companies charge based on the effort spent testing. This is usually calculated using man-days or consultant-days.

For example, if a penetration test requires five consultant days, the customer pays for those five days, regardless of how many vulnerabilities are found.

Now imagine this.

Year 1

The penetration test discovers:

• 5 Critical vulnerabilities

• 10 High vulnerabilities

• 15 Medium vulnerabilities

The customer fixes almost all of them.

The company's security becomes much stronger.

Year 2

A new penetration test is performed.

This time only:

• 1 Medium vulnerability

• 2 Low vulnerabilities

are discovered.

The company has clearly improved its security.

But what happens to the invoice?

Usually, almost nothing.

The customer still pays nearly the same amount because the pricing is based on testing effort, not on the security improvements that have already been made.

In many cases, the price is even higher than the previous year.

How Wiseep Is Different

Wiseep uses a completely different pricing model.

Instead of charging mainly for the effort spent testing, we charge based on the security vulnerabilities that are discovered.

This means your costs decrease as your security improves.

The fewer vulnerabilities we find, the less you pay.

It is that simple.

A Realistic Example

Imagine a company with 100 internet-facing assets.

First Assessment

Wiseep identifies 40 security vulnerabilities.

The customer fixes them.

Second Assessment

Only 5 vulnerabilities remain.

The penetration testing cost drops significantly.

Third Assessment

Only 2 vulnerabilities are found.

The cost drops even further.

Eventually, when almost no vulnerabilities are found, the customer only pays a small scan fee, typically around 5% to 10% of the cost of a traditional penetration test.

That means the repeated penetration testing cost can be reduced by up to 95%.

Why This Makes Sense

Traditional penetration testing rewards effort.

Wiseep rewards security improvement.

Every vulnerability you fix today helps reduce the cost of tomorrow's assessment.

Instead of paying almost the same invoice every year, your security investment continues to generate financial value.

The Bottom Line

Penetration testing should not become a permanent annual expense that never changes.

As your organisation becomes more secure, your testing costs should decrease too.

That is exactly how Wiseep is designed.

Fix more vulnerabilities. Improve your security. Pay less next time.
