Pricing By Service
The ranges below are planning estimates, not quotes. They are here to give you a realistic idea of what an engagement like yours tends to cost, so you can budget and plan with confidence. They are not an offer, a fixed price, or a commitment. Your final number depends on the specifics of your environment, which we confirm together in a short scoping conversation. The services listed here are the engagements clients ask about most often, not the full range of what we do.
Because scope, complexity, testing depth, and compliance needs vary so much between organizations, the cost of a given service moves toward, and sometimes past, the higher end of its range as the work grows. Treat these figures as a starting point rather than a ceiling. For larger or more involved engagements, we scope directly, which is why you will see “Contact us” in a few places, the same way you will across the rest of our site. That is simply how we make sure the number you get matches the work you actually need.
Enterprise-scale and very large engagements vary too much to price meaningfully on a page. We scope these directly and turn a tailored quote around fast.
This is not a complete list of what we do. These are the engagements clients ask about most often. Explore our full range of offerings, or reach out, and we will scope what you need.
What actually drives the cost
Two engagements with the same name can differ widely in price. These are the factors that move the number, and the questions to ask yourself before requesting a quote.

How to estimate your engagement
You can get a rough estimate in a few steps: pick your service, gauge how large and complex your scope is, then adjust for depth and compliance. If you need authenticated testing across many roles, a hybrid or source-assisted approach, or compliance-grade reporting, lean toward the higher end of the range. If your scope is small and focused, lean toward the lower end. For enterprise-scale work, reach out, and we will scope it with you.
What is included
A typical Cloud Security Partners engagement includes scoping and planning, hands-on testing by senior consultants, a detailed findings report with clear, prioritized remediation guidance, an executive summary suitable for leadership, and a readout session to walk your team through the results. Many engagements also include a retest to confirm fixes. We confirm exactly what is included in your scope before any work begins.
Why the cheapest option is rarely the best value
Security testing varies enormously in quality. A low-cost automated scan dressed up as a “penetration test” can leave you with a false sense of security and a report that your auditor or customer will not accept. The value is in experienced consultants who find the issues automated tools miss, explain them in business terms, and give your team a clear path to fix them. We price for senior talent and reports you can confidently put in front of executives, auditors, and partners.
Discounts and flexible pricing
We offer bundled pricing when multiple services are scoped together, multi-year pricing for ongoing programs, and special pricing for nonprofits. If the budget is a constraint, tell us. We can often phase work or focus on the highest-risk areas first.
Frequently asked questions
Most standalone penetration tests fall between $7,500 and $35,000, depending on the type of test and the size of what is being tested. A focused single web application test typically runs $15,000 to $16,000.
Most cloud security assessments fall between $2,500 and $30,000, depending on the size and complexity of your estate. A focused single-account review sits at the lower end, while multi-account or multi-subscription environments sit higher. For very large or enterprise estates, we scope and quote directly.
The biggest factors are the size of the scope, the complexity of the application or environment, the depth of testing, and any compliance and reporting requirements.
No, because every environment is different and a fixed list would either overcharge simple projects or undercut complex ones. We scope each engagement individually, but the ranges on this page reflect real pricing so you can plan with confidence.
Often, yes. We can phase engagements, prioritize the highest-risk areas, or bundle services. Share your budget and goals, and we will tell you honestly what is achievable.
Most standalone engagements run two to four weeks from kickoff to final report, depending on scope. Larger programs take longer.
