[image] ## Popular Questions About Security Testing Services, Answered Is security testing included in QA activities during software development? It may be a part of the QA activities within SDLC, especially during the development of highly secure software. However, in most projects, security testing is a separate activity, and it should be conducted by a dedicated professional team. What are the benefits of third-party security testing? If you outsource a security checkup, you avoid continuous hefty spending on your in-house security testing team and tools. At the same time, you get access to a wide pool of cybersecurity skills and tools. Plus, you can leverage the vast experience and knowledge of the latest vulnerabilities and hacking techniques a competent vendor should possess. How long does security testing take? The duration of a security testing checkup varies greatly depending on its scope, technique(s), and other factors. Penetration testing of a simple web app may be completed in around 1 week, while [HIPAA compliance risk assessment](https://www.scnsoft.com/healthcare/hipaa-compliance/risk-assessment) may take 10 weeks. If you want to know what timeline is feasible for your planned project, you are welcome to [contact our team.](https://www.scnsoft.com/services/security/testing/contact-us-request-security-testing) How much does security testing cost? The cost of a security checkup can vary depending on the testing type, the number and complexity of the testing targets, the qualifications of the testing team, and other factors. For example, vulnerability assessment of 200 network IPs to prepare for a HIPAA compliance audit may cost $5,000. The price of a phishing campaign combined with white box IT infrastructure pentesting for a medium-sized company is likely to start from $40,000. We’ll be happy to help you [calculate the required budget for your project](https://www.scnsoft.com/security/testing/calculator). How to make sure my company can withstand the most widespread cyber attacks? Email services and web applications are the most common attack vectors, so it's crucial to timely fix any vulnerabilities they have. Consider social engineering testing to verify the efficiency of your email security tools and policies and employees' cyber resilience. Web security testing services are needed to explore the protection of your websites, web applications, APIs, and web services to detect potential security loopholes and prevent widespread cyber attacks. How can we be sure that we managed to fix the vulnerabilities detected during a security testing project? After your IT team or our security experts eliminate the reported vulnerabilities, we offer a quick re-testing round to check if all fixes were applied correctly. The re-testing is included in the price of the project, so you don't have to pay extra to validate your new security level. ## Tools Powering Our Security Testing Team Along with manual vulnerability exploration, we expertly apply security testing tools that best suit the project specifics.
