Question 1

How accurate is the price indication from the calculator?

Accepted Answer

The price indication is very realistic and based on our experience from multiple conducted pentests over 10+ years. The final price is determined after the free reconnaissance call, where we analyze your exact requirements. In 85% of cases, the final price deviates less than 10% from the calculator indication.

Question 2

How much does a penetration test cost at DeViLink?

Accepted Answer

Our pentest prices start at €3,500 for small applications (1-40 endpoints). An average pentest for medium-sized web applications ranges from €6,000-10,000. Pentest as a Service (continuous security) starts at €400/month. In comparison: German providers typically charge €15,000-30,000 for comparable tests. You save up to 70% with the same quality.

Question 3

Why are your pentests cheaper than German providers?

Accepted Answer

We combine German project management with Vietnamese security experts. Vietnam has an excellent IT education system and lower living costs. Our testers are trained according to international standards (OWASP, PTES, BSI) and work with the same tools as German pentesters. The difference lies solely in personnel costs - the quality is identical.

Question 4

What's included in the pentest price?

Accepted Answer

The price can include the following services, depending on requirements: complete reconnaissance phase, vulnerability assessment according to OWASP Top 10, manual exploitation tests, post-exploitation analysis, detailed report (executive summary + technical details), risk-based prioritization of findings, and re-test after your remediation (within 30 days). German and English language consulting throughout the entire process is always included. Additional costs only arise for subsequently requested extensions.

Question 5

Which compliance standards do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We test according to all common standards: OWASP Top 10 (always included), PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard), BSI IT-Grundschutz, ISO 27001, NIS2 directive, PCI-DSS (payment processing), GDPR requirements. Depending on the chosen standard, we adapt our test methodology and reporting. For specialized compliance requirements, we create individual test plans.

Question 6

How long does a penetration test take?

Accepted Answer

A typical pentest proceeds as follows: Reconnaissance call (1-2 hours), test execution (1-3 weeks depending on size), report creation (2-3 days), presentation of results (1-2 hours). After your remediation, we conduct a re-test (1-3 days, depending on requirements). Total duration from kick-off to final report: 2-6 weeks. With urgency (rush option), we can start in 1-2 weeks and complete within 3-4 weeks.

Question 7

What is Pentest as a Service (PaaS)?

Accepted Answer

PaaS is our subscription model for continuous security. You pay a fixed monthly fee and receive: at least one comprehensive pentest per year, additional smaller tests as needed (e.g., after major updates), continuous vulnerability scanning, priority support for security incidents, and quarterly security reviews. Ideal for companies with NIS2 obligations or when you need to demonstrate continuous compliance.

Question 8

Do you also test mobile apps and cloud infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we test all common application types: web applications (frontend + backend), mobile apps (iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native), APIs (REST, GraphQL, SOAP), desktop applications, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), and complex multi-tier systems. For cloud tests, we need appropriate access rights. Physical security (e.g., data centers) or red teaming is offered through partner networks.

Question 9

How quickly can the pentest start?

Accepted Answer

With flexible planning (8+ weeks lead time), we start sometime within these 8 weeks, depending on availability. With priority booking (3-5 weeks lead time), you receive a guaranteed start date within the next 3-5 weeks. For rush tests (1-2 weeks lead time), we begin as soon as possible within the next 1-2 weeks (with surcharge). After the reconnaissance call, we jointly determine the ideal start date.

Question 10

Do I receive a binding price guarantee after using the calculator?

Accepted Answer

The calculator indication is a very good guideline but not yet a binding price guarantee. After the free reconnaissance call, we create a binding fixed-price offer. In this call, we clarify details such as: exact number of endpoints, complexity of business logic, authentication mechanisms, and special compliance requirements. The final offer is then fixed and only increases if you subsequently expand the scope.
