06 — Frequently asked questions
What everyone asks before starting
"We already have an IT provider. Why do we need this?"
Because it is a different job. Your IT provider maintains; we attack, with permission, and tell you what we found. You need both, and we work with them.
"Can the pentest take something down?"
Tests run with an agreed scope, window and limits, and from the outside. If a test could affect a fragile system, we agree it beforehand and, if necessary, skip it.
"What do we need to get started?"
A conversation, the list of what you expose (we help you build it) and the signed authorisation. Nothing to install.
"How much does it cost?"
The assessment and projects come with a fixed quote. Guard is a monthly fee based on scope. We tell you after the first conversation, with no obligation.
