What Happens If You Don't
Our Process
Is This the Right Penetration Test for You?
You should choose this tier if…
- You have Series-A+ SaaS with cloud infrastructure, integrations, and async processing
- You're in fintech, healthtech, or another regulated industry where breach consequences are existential
- You need DORA Article 25 (TLPT) threat-led penetration testing evidence
- You require a two-tester team with independent QA review
- You need auditor handover session included (90 minutes)
- You're preparing for pre-IPO or Series-B security due diligence
Common scenarios
"We process payments in 12 countries. We need deep testing of our cloud infrastructure, integrations, and API surface with an independent peer-reviewed report."
"We handle special category data. Our NHS trust partner requires evidence of thorough enterprise-level security testing before go-live."
"Our underwriters and investors want to see a comprehensive, peer-reviewed penetration test report as part of security due diligence."
"DORA Article 25 requires TLPT. We need the technical execution component from a qualified security firm."

Frequently asked questions about this tier
What does 'two-tester team' mean in practice?
The Lead Penetration Tester drives primary test execution. The Senior Consultant provides specialist depth on specific areas (cloud, APIs, OAuth). The QA Reviewer independently reviews all findings for severity calibration before the report is finalised. This three-layer structure significantly reduces missed findings and severity miscalibration.
Does this satisfy DORA Article 25 (TLPT)?
DORA Article 25 mandates Threat-Led Penetration Testing for in-scope significant financial entities. Our Enterprise tier covers the technical execution component. Full TLPT compliance also requires a Threat Intelligence provider and specific documentation formats. We can coordinate with your TI provider.
What cloud providers are covered?
AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure are covered in the standard scope. Multi-cloud environments are covered within the standard engagement price.
Is this suitable for pre-IPO security due diligence?
Yes. Pre-IPO due diligence typically requires broad scope, independent peer-reviewed report, formal Attestation Letter, and evidence of methodology alignment (OWASP, PTES, NIST). We can structure deliverables specifically for due diligence evidence files on request.
Are quarterly briefings really included?
Yes. 12 months of quarterly security briefings are included at no additional charge. These cover any newly discovered vulnerabilities relevant to your tech stack and methodology updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "two-tester team" mean in practice?
The Lead Penetration Tester drives primary test execution. The Senior Consultant provides specialist depth on specific areas (cloud, APIs, OAuth). The QA Reviewer independently reviews all findings for severity calibration and false positive elimination before the report is finalised. This three-layer structure significantly reduces the risk of missed findings and severity miscalibration.
Does this satisfy DORA Article 25 (TLPT)?
DORA Article 25 mandates Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) for in-scope significant financial entities. Our Enterprise tier covers the technical execution component. Full TLPT compliance also requires a Threat Intelligence (TI) provider and specific documentation formats. We can coordinate with your TI provider. For smaller financial entities not in the TLPT scope, our Tier 3 Standard is typically sufficient.
Can you work under our enterprise NDA template?
Yes, in most cases. We review enterprise NDA templates under English law. EU/UK DPAs (including Standard Contractual Clauses) are available. For non-standard jurisdiction requirements, we'll flag this during the scoping call.
What cloud providers are covered?
AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure are covered in the standard Enterprise tier scope. Multi-cloud environments are covered within the standard engagement price. Dedicated cloud security review (without web/API component) is available as a separate engagement.
Is this suitable for pre-IPO security due diligence?
Yes. Pre-IPO due diligence security reviews typically require exactly what this tier delivers: broad scope, independent peer-reviewed report, formal Attestation Letter, evidence of methodology alignment with recognised standards (OWASP, PTES, NIST), and auditor handover capability. We can structure deliverables specifically for due diligence evidence files on request.
