Explore testing options that help clarify scope, effort, risk, and the information needed for an accurate penetration testing quote.

Network Testing

Manual testing examines external and internal network paths, Active Directory, APIs, wireless systems, cloud environments, and physical access points to reveal attack chains automated tools may miss.

Cloud Testing

Cloud penetration testing evaluates identity, access, configuration, exposed services, APIs, secrets handling, logging, and boundaries across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS environments.

Application Testing

Web, mobile, and API testing focuses on authentication, authorization, business logic, data exposure, input handling, and workflow weaknesses that scanners cannot reliably identify.

Social Engineering

Phishing, vishing, smishing, and physical testing assess how people, processes, and technical controls respond to realistic attempts to obtain access or sensitive information.

Red Team Testing

Red team and adversary emulation engagements test whether security operations can detect and stop realistic attackers pursuing defined objectives across the environment.

Offensive Security

Controlled attack simulations and penetration testing identify weaknesses before malicious actors exploit them, with findings translated into actionable remediation priorities.

Plan With Clarity

Understand What Shapes Pentest Costs

Penetration testing pricing is shaped by the environment being tested, the number and type of assets, access assumptions, testing vectors, depth of manual validation, reporting requirements, and whether retesting is needed. DeepSeas can help translate those variables into a practical engagement scope across networks, cloud, applications, social engineering, and adversary emulation, so your budget discussion reflects meaningful security outcomes rather than a generic scan.
