Hiring guides
Hiring guides for authorised testing
These hiring guides answer the questions buyers ask before they sign. So each page covers one decision, from the legal basis to the final fixed fee.
What every engagement has in common
Every engagement starts with a signed scope, because authorisation is what makes the work lawful. Then one fixed number is agreed, so the price never moves.
Testing usually begins within 48 hours of signed authorisation. Also, a bounded review exists for organisations that need one clear answer first.
How to use these hiring guides
Start with the legal page if you are unsure where the line sits. Then read the pricing and provider pages before you compare quotes. Finally, if you already know the shape of the work, go straight to the red team or remote testing page. Each one explains the scope, the rules and the fee, so you can brief us in a single message rather than several calls.
