About
A reference for buying a penetration test.
In brief
Pentesting Firms compares penetration testing firms on what they publish: price, retests, sample reports, accreditation and ownership, each linked to the firm’s own page and dated. Buyers kept asking how to compare firms, and most lists are written by a firm that ranks itself first; this one shows its sources.
§1Relationship
Editorial relationship
Pentesting Firms is a promotional reference that features Decima Systems; it is not an independent review site or certification body.
§2Featured
How the featured firm is treated
- It is shown in its own box, and also listed in the comparison like everyone else, placed by the same rule.
- Its entry follows the same rules as every other: facts from its public site, with the date checked.
- Decima is new and takes pilot engagements. Where its site says a service is a pilot, planned or in development, so does this one.
- Other firms are never described in a way their own public pages don’t support.
