Overview
UK engagements are delivered remotely for SaaS and fintech platforms, professional services firms handling client data, and technology suppliers to regulated sectors.
Two documents usually matter more than the test itself: the technical report your engineers work from, and the attestation letter your customers and prospects are sent. Both are produced as standard, because a report that cannot be shared creates a second problem the week after it lands.
What drives testing here
Local drivers
- UK GDPR Article 32
- Requires a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical measures.
- Enterprise procurement
- Security questionnaires and vendor reviews routinely request a current independent test report.
- FCA operational resilience
- Regulated firms and their critical suppliers are expected to test and evidence resilience of important business services.
- Cyber Essentials and beyond
- Baseline schemes establish hygiene; buyers increasingly ask what was found when someone attacked in earnest.
How engagements are delivered
Fully remote delivery. Karachi runs five hours ahead of London and our Wyoming office seven behind, so a UK working day is covered from both ends. Contracting and invoicing in GBP or USD.

Most requested here
Web application penetration testing
Authenticated, multi-role testing of your web application: the logic, the roles and the state transitions a scanner cannot reach.
Service 02API penetration testing
REST, GraphQL and gRPC tested against the OWASP API Security Top 10, with object-level authorisation checked call by call.
Service 04Cloud penetration testing
AWS, Azure and GCP tested for the paths that get used: identity escalation, exposed storage and metadata reachable from your own application.
Questions
Do you need to be CREST accredited to test for us?
Only where your own obligations specify it, CREST or CHECK accreditation is required for certain government and CNI schemes, and for those a scheme-accredited supplier is the right choice. For commercial testing, UK buyers generally assess the tester’s demonstrable capability and certifications, which are published here in full and independently verifiable.
Can you provide evidence for UK GDPR Article 32?
Yes. Article 32(1)(d) requires a process for regularly testing and evaluating effectiveness; a dated, documented engagement with tracked remediation is exactly that evidence.
How do you handle timezone and communication?
Our Karachi office covers your morning and our Wyoming office covers your afternoon, so there is no part of a UK working day without cover. Daily updates during testing, immediate notification of any critical finding, and a live walkthrough at the end.
How much does a penetration test cost in the UK?
Cost follows scope rather than a UK rate card, which is generally why UK organisations engage us. A fixed quote follows a short scoping call and covers testing, reporting and retest, with no hourly billing.
Which is the best penetration testing company in the UK?
No honest answer is a single name. Check the certifications held by the testers assigned to you, and the team's public research record, whether the firm holds ISO 27001 itself, whether retesting is included, and whether a redacted sample report is available before signing.
Do you test for FCA-regulated firms?
Yes. Operational resilience and technology risk expectations reach both regulated firms and their technology suppliers, and reports are structured for internal audit and supervisory review rather than for engineers alone.
Can you support Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials Plus is assessed by accredited certification bodies, and we do not claim to be one. Penetration testing is a deeper and separate exercise, and organisations commonly hold both: the certification for procurement, the test for the findings the certification does not look for.
Do you work with UK public sector suppliers?
Yes. Testing obligations usually arrive through the framework contract rather than directly from a regulator, and reports are written so they can be passed to the contracting authority without exposing reproduction detail.
