Manual Pentesting
Find the trusted Manual Pentesting Service providers you've been looking for
Manual penetration testing, or pentesting, is like a general inspection of your car, except instead of a car you diagnose the security of your applications. A manual penetration test is a simulated attack on an organization’s computer systems or network.
To do so, you hire an IT security consultant with hacking experience.
Those consultants, also called white-hat hackers or ethical hackers, can find the vulnerabilities in your system or application. And in the end, you’ll get a professional report with all vulnerabilities and recommendations to fix them.
Not sure what you need and how to start? No worries! One of our security experts will advise you on the best solution for your requirements in a personal call.

Now more than ever, we are conducting most of our business and personal activities online. Especially since Covid-19 outbreak, many companies have been forced to work remotely. Extensive traces of personal and organizational data are left online, which is the strategic resource hackers use to attack. 49% of organizations suffer one or more cybersecurity breaches annually. This fact, alongside recent upsurges in the number of security vulnerabilities across many enterprises, emphasizes just how important it is to conduct manual penetration testing regularly.
Manual pentesting tends to focus on simultaneous approaches of running multiple programs to analyze data and interpret the results in real-time. This way, a broader base under investigation is covered and could include the ranges of network systems, application systems, embedded devices and source code analysis. Manual penetration testing can be expensive and does not scale as automated pentesting does. However, it is the most reliable in the sense that subtle errors such as CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) and business logic vulnerabilities can only be detected or exploited by a human agent.
Averagely, depending on the scope and thoroughness of the test, a pentest would cost between $5.000-$50.000. The estimated price is, however, not cast on stone. There are several factors to consider before a price can be defined:
• The time required for the entire pentesting process
• The level of expertise of the hired experts
• The areas a pentest will cover
• Any individual security needs the organization may require
Regardless of how expensive a pentest might look, it is still cheaper compared to the remedy costs it would need to correct an attack. You can see more details on typical pentesting prices here.
Vulnerability assessment is the practice of recognizing, defining, prioritizing, and classifying vulnerabilities in computer systems, network infrastructures, and applications to recognize possible threats and risks they pose to your organization’s computer system. The two cybersecurity measures are quite similar, but the terms should not be used interchangeably.
Vulnerability assessments are automated and are only able to capture disruptions in patterns and definitions. This type of assessment is not equipped with the ability to detect flaws that need human logic and intellectual capacity.
Manual pentesting, in comparison, is more vigorous and accurate to the overall business logic. Penetration testers need to study an organization, understand its day-to-day business operations and work to a shared vision.
