Transparent Pricing with No Surprises
Penetration testing costs depend on what you’re protecting and the complexity of your environment. We believe in straightforward pricing: you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start, with no hidden fees or last-minute charges. Most of our clients choose one of these common testing packages, but if your needs are different, we’ll build a custom proposal that fits.

Not Sure Which Test You Need?
To Get Started
You will receive a customized proposal
While we prefer to speak with you in person, we know you are busy. If you would like to handle everything through email, we can do that too. Simply let us know and someone from our sales team will email you with the scoping questions we need answered.
Key Factors
For an Accurate Price
Type of test
We need to know what you want tested. Is it a network, an application? Hopefully not your patience.
Scoping is required
We need to know how many IPs for your network, or more in-depth information about your application.
Timing for testing
If you need a rush job, we can usually accommodate, but there may be an extra charge.
Compliance Needs
Testing is different when certain compliance requirements are involved, such as PCI.
Customers Who Trust
MainNerve
Great Experienced staff, made the process fast and easy. I appreciated the attention to detail throughout the whole process and will 10/10 use and recommend for those looking to test their network security.
A great organization to work with and true experts and professionals in the field. Their entire team was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire testing process.
We were very happy with the experience and the deliverable/reporting.
This was our third time around getting penetration and vulnerability scans through Main Nerve. Transactions have always been quick and easy and all involved have been very responsive.
This is my second encounter with MainNerve and my experience this time was even better, which is impressive considering my first encounter was great. I definitely recommend their services for your testing needs.
I was quite pleasantly surprised by the engagement. I think the thing I liked best about it was that everyone at MainNerve really took the time to listen and understand what we did, why we were doing it, and our business goals. It gave us confidence that we were in the right hands.
Sheena was great in guiding us though what was a new process for us. A client had asked us for a third party penn test report and she was very helpful in helping us choose the correct product and in determining the scope.
This is the second time we have engaged MainNerve. Both times they have done a great job and I would recommend them for pen testing. They were prompt and delivered the reporting required by our customers at part of our data security program. We will certainly use them in the future.
We value our professional relationship with MainNerve. Their employees are friendly and extremely responsive. They always take care of our clients as if they were their own, while maintaining the penetration and social engineering testing. We couldn’t ask for a better Cybersecurity partner.
