    Long boilerplate (150 words)

    Budget Security is a modern penetration testing platform headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands. Founded in 2025 by operators with thousands of pentests delivered across the past decade, the company has rebuilt the pentest delivery model around four pillars: AI-driven goal-based scoping, customer dashboard delivery, OSCP-certified testers, and transparent fit-to-budget pricing. Customers register their IT assets once, pick an asset and a goal — full pentest, SOC 2 readiness, NIS2 audit prep, ISO 27001 scope, or authenticated-only review — and a budget. The platform's scoping AI proposes a test plan and shows the tradeoff live as days are added or removed. Day rates start at €849, published on the website. Budget Security serves customers across the European Union, United States, and United Kingdom in English and Dutch. The team includes 30 OSCP-certified penetration testers.
