What is penetration testing for startups?

Penetration testing for startups is a proactive cybersecurity measure that new businesses adopt to identify and fix security vulnerabilities in their digital assets. Startups, especially in their nascent stages, might overlook security due to limited resources or rapid scaling needs.

By simulating cyber-attacks, penetration tests reveal weaknesses in a startup's SaaS, cloud and other online platforms, allowing them to address risks before they lead to data breaches or loss of customer trust. For startups, conducting regular penetration tests not only helps secure their growing digital footprint but also establishes a culture of cybersecurity from the outset, fostering trust with stakeholders and customers alike.

Cybersecurity for startups and scaleups

Our pentest for startups includes the following services, which can be hired individually or separately:

• SaaS/Web application security testing
• API penetration testing (REST, GraphQL and SOAP APIs)
• Mobile app pentesting (iOS and Android)
• AWS cloud penetration test and configuration security review
• External and internal network pentest
• Spear-phishing exercises

We follow top industry methodologies such as OWASP Top 10, OWASP ASVS, OSSTMM, and PTES and go beyond to ensure an in-depth review of the security controls of your apps, cloud, and server infrastructures.

Startup pentest assessment identifies security vulnerabilities in your startup's SaaS platforms, applications, APIs, AWS cloud infrastructure, and more, with the necessary recommendations to remediate and fix the issues to improve your overall resilience against cyberattacks.

The average penetration testing duration is between 5 to 30 person-days, depending on the complexity of the scope of work.

Deliverables

You will receive a detailed report listing all the vulnerabilities and risks from the perspective of a motivated and capable adversary, alongside countermeasures to remediate the issues.

The report includes the following:

• Executive summary where the issues, attack scenarios, and business impact are explained in a non-technical language
• A detailed description of the vulnerabilities, demonstration of attack scenarios, and suggestions for fixing the issues
• A remediation prioritization matrix, helping your team to prioritize fixes and decrease risks to the environment

Reports are usually delivered within five business days from the completion of the security assessment. Retesting is free if performed within 90 days from the delivery of the final report.

The reports can be used for vendor risk assessments, and compliance audits frequently requiring penetration testing, such as SOC 2, CPRA/CCPA, GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and others.
