    “Every system has its blind spots – penetration testing is how we expose them before attackers do. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how a single overlooked vulnerability can lead to major disruptions. That’s why we treat every engagement with the urgency and depth it deserves. Prevention through simulation isn’t just smart – it’s essential.

    FAQ

    What is a pentest service, and why is it important?

    Penetration testing simulates cyberattacks to uncover real vulnerabilities. It’s critical for reducing breach risk and maintaining trust and compliance.

    How much does penetration testing cost?

    Penetration testing cost varies depending on the scope of systems, testing depth, and the level of expert involvement. While prices can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, it’s important to note that proactive testing is significantly less expensive than the cost of system recovery, legal exposure, or reputational damage after a breach. At unicrew, we provide a free, no-obligation estimation to help you understand the investment based on your specific needs.

    Is unicrew a certified cybersecurity consulting firm?

    Yes. unicrew has passed rigorous security audits and holds ISO certifications that validate our commitment to the highest cybersecurity and data protection standards.

    What’s the difference between automated and manual penetration testing?

    Automated testing offers scale and speed; manual testing finds nuanced logic flaws and chained exploits. unicrew combines both for accuracy and depth.

    How often should penetration tests be performed?

    We recommend testing annually, after major updates, or in response to compliance requirements. High-risk organizations may benefit from quarterly assessments.
