Annual Penetration Testing

The yearly test many contracts require, done properly, and why spreading it across the year protects you better.

What is annual penetration testing?

Annual penetration testing is a full test once a year, often to satisfy a contract, insurer or framework. We deliver it thoroughly, with a clear report and a free retest, and can turn it into an ongoing programme if that suits you.

Why it matters

Annual testing is a sensible minimum, but a lot changes in twelve months. A once-a-year snapshot can miss issues introduced the week after it finishes, which is why many businesses move to regular or continuous testing.

How we slot in

We slot into your world, not the other way round. We agree a testing cadence that fits your business and budget, quarterly, monthly, or tied to your release cycle, run the tests, retest your fixes for free, and stay on call for on-demand tests whenever you ship something significant. You get predictable fixed pricing and one point of contact.

Human-led, and it gets sharper over time

Our testing is CREST-accredited and human-led, and we are also accredited for AI-Enabled Penetration Testing. With an ongoing programme you get the same senior tester over time, so they learn your estate and get sharper with every round, no rotating juniors and no sales team.

What you get

Scheduled tests to an agreed cadence, on-demand tests when you need them, free retests after you remediate, clear prioritised reports for both your board and your developers, and a standing relationship with a tester who knows your systems.

Common questions

Is an annual test enough?

It is a reasonable baseline and often the contractual minimum, but if you change systems frequently, spreading testing across the year gives far better protection.

Do you do the annual test required by our contract or insurer?

Yes, and we give you a clear report and certificate-style summary you can share.

How do we start a programme?

Book a free scoping call. We will map a cadence and scope to your business and risk, and quote a predictable fixed price. No obligation.

Is your testing genuinely human-led?

Yes. It is CREST-accredited and led by a senior tester; we also hold CREST's AI-Enabled Penetration Testing accreditation, which independently assures how we use AI to assist.
