    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions About Penetration Testing

    What is penetration testing?
    Penetration testing (pentesting) is an authorized, hands on security assessment where skilled testers simulate real attackers to find exploitable weaknesses in your systems. Unlike automated scans alone, a pentest combines tooling with expert analysis to validate real world risk and business impact.
    Why do businesses need a pentest?
    Pentesting helps you find critical vulnerabilities before criminals do, prioritize fixes with evidence, and demonstrate due diligence to customers, boards, and regulators. It is a practical way to reduce breach risk and support secure product delivery.
    What is the difference between a vulnerability scan and a penetration test?
    A vulnerability scan is typically automated and lists potential issues quickly. A penetration test goes further: testers chain weaknesses, validate exploitability, and document realistic attack paths. Budget Security uses manual testing by OSCP certified experts, supported by commercial and proprietary tools.
    What compliance standards commonly require penetration testing?
    Many frameworks expect periodic technical testing, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIS 2. Exact requirements depend on your scope and auditor. Budget Security focuses on clear, audit ready reporting you can use alongside your compliance program.
    How often should you do a penetration test?
    Most teams test after major releases, architecture changes, or at least annually for internet facing systems. High change environments may benefit from more frequent testing and retesting after remediation. Budget Security supports one click retests from your dashboard.
