Operating in the EU? NIS2 compliance is now mandatory.

Under the Dutch Cybersecurity Act implementing NIS2 (in force 15 August 2026, no transition period), organisations active in the Netherlands and the wider EU must demonstrate their cyber security. A penetration test report is the most widely accepted form of evidence for regulators. Outside the EU, the same report supports your SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS audits.

WEB APP

Web Application Penetration Test

I attack your web application the way an attacker would. I test for OWASP Top 10, logic flaws and access control issues. The report describes per finding how it can be exploited and what your development team can do to fix it.

↳ Clarity on which vulnerabilities are genuinely exploitable
API & INFRA

Infrastructure & API Security

Your servers, networks and API endpoints are just as vulnerable as the application itself. I look for misconfigurations, exposed services and privilege escalation — things an IT administrator rarely encounters because they only become visible when thinking like an attacker.

↳ Overview of your full external attack surface
RETEST

Verification & Retest

Patching without verification is guesswork. After fixes are applied, I retest to confirm the vulnerabilities are actually resolved. You receive written confirmation you can use with regulators or management.

↳ Official proof of remediation, in writing
ADVISORY

Security advisor on retainer

No security specialist of your own, but plenty of questions? I become your go-to person. You start with a security roadmap, then have fixed hours every month for advice, customer questionnaires and design input. You can also spend the hours on testing.

↳ Roadmap €1,500, then from €950 a month

Entry product

Security Quick Scan — one day, fixed price €1,000 excl. VAT

One day of manual pentesting on your most important application; despite the name, not an automated scan. Same tester, same approach and the same signed report as a multi-day pentest, just shorter, so with less coverage. You get the key findings and learn whether, and where, a multi-day pentest is needed. €1,000 excl. VAT, retest included.

See the Security Quick Scan →

Cheaper means shorter, not worse.

A thorough pentest of an application with multiple roles usually takes four to five testing days, around €5,000 to €6,000. That's a fair market price, and I offer that test too. If it doesn't fit your budget, I test for less time, not with less care: a Compact pentest from €2,500, or a one-day Security Quick Scan for €1,000, focused on the highest-risk areas. What a scanner does, you can do yourself for free. You don't need to pay me for that.

02 · Why Resync?

What you don't get
from a large agency.

Many larger firms
  • ✕ Often a daily or hourly rate: the final amount is only known afterwards
  • ✕ Often weeks to months before you get scheduled
  • ✕ Often different testers; you don't always know who is on your systems
  • ✕ Templated reports, not always written for both the board and developers
  • ✕ Retest often quoted separately
  • ✕ Contact often through an account manager, not the tester
✦ Resync
  • ✓ Fixed price based on scope — you know the cost upfront
  • ✓ Start within 1–2 weeks after quote approval
  • ✓ Always the same OSCP-certified senior tester, from intake to close
  • ✓ Bespoke report: executive summary and technical depth
  • ✓ Retest always included — no loose ends
  • ✓ Direct communication with the tester — no middleman
03 · About the specialist

Always the same
tester.

Resync deliberately has no account managers or junior staff. You work with the same person from start to finish. I don't outsource and don't involve anyone else.

I have worked with municipalities, healthcare organisations and educational institutions and understand what is at stake: personal data, legal obligations and continuity of service. That requires a different approach than a typical startup.

OSCP, eWPTxv2 and a Master's in Cyber Security are not just credentials. I can penetrate systems in ways that a scanner will never find — which is precisely what manual testing is about.

04 · Sectors

For organisations that can't afford a breach.

01

SaaS & Fintech

SOC 2 / ISO 27001

A pentest isn't formally required for SOC 2 or ISO 27001, but auditors expect one as evidence (CC4.1, Annex A 8.8 and 8.29). Sell to a financial institution? Since 2025, DORA requires them to secure annual testing evidence from suppliers like you. My report maps findings directly to those requirements. SOC 2 & ISO 27001 →

02

Healthcare & Healthtech

Patient data at stake

EHR platforms, patient portals and connected devices hold some of the most sensitive data there is. I test them the way a real attacker would, with HIPAA and GDPR expectations in mind.

03

E-commerce & Payments

PCI DSS

Checkout flows, payment integrations and customer accounts are a constant target. A penetration test supports your PCI DSS obligations and keeps fraud off your platform.

04

Startups & Vibe-Coded Apps

Cursor / Bolt / Lovable

Apps built with Cursor, Bolt or Lovable contain predictable vulnerabilities: IDOR, exposed API keys, missing endpoint authorisation. Scanners rarely catch them, manual testing does. Dedicated offer →

05

EU & NL Compliance

NIS2 · GDPR

Organisations operating in the Netherlands and the EU must now demonstrate their security under NIS2. A penetration test report is the evidence regulators, and your European customers, ask for.

06

Professional Services

Sensitive files, lean IT

Law firms, agencies and advisors hold highly confidential client data with limited in-house IT. Large-firm pricing is out of reach; I offer a fixed-price alternative.

05 · Approach

You know the cost upfront
and the findings afterwards.

From your first message to the retest: what happens, and when.

Phase 1 · Getting acquaintedFree, no obligation

  1. Your enquiry

    A few sentences via the form or by email is enough, for example “web app with a login, curious about the cost”. Prefer to talk right away? Pick a time in the calendar yourself.

    ± 2 minutes
  2. A personal reply

    From me, not from a sales team: usually within a few hours, always within one business day. We set a time for the intake straight away.

    Usually within hours
  3. Free 30-minute intake

    We discuss what needs testing, why (audit, NIS2, a customer requirement, a launch) and what stays out of scope. No preparation needed. Want an NDA first? I sign it before the call.

    Within a few days
  4. Fixed-price proposal

    Scope, number of testing days, schedule and price in writing. No hourly billing, no hidden extras. Asking questions or changing the scope costs nothing.

    Within 1 business day

Up to here everything is free and without obligation. There is only an engagement once you approve the proposal.

Phase 2 · The engagementAfter your approval

  1. Approval and scheduling

    You approve the proposal and confirm in writing that you authorise the test. Together we pick the start date and arrange test accounts and access.

    Start usually within 1–2 weeks
  2. Manual pentest

    Fully manual and by me: one testing day for a Security Quick Scan, two to six or more for a multi-day test. Not a scanner you could run yourself. If I find something critical, I report it immediately rather than waiting for the report.

    1–6+ testing days
  3. Report via the client portal

    Executive summary and technical details with reproduction steps, useful for both the CISO and the board. Delivered through the secure client portal, not as an email attachment, and no later than 14 days after the last testing day. Includes a 30-minute walkthrough call.

    Usually within a week
  4. Retest included

    Fixed the findings? I test them again and update the report with their status: resolved or not resolved. Only then do I close the engagement. Want someone to stay involved after that? That's what the security advisor on retainer is for.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to your
most important questions.

How much does a penetration test cost?

All prices at Resync are fixed, excluding VAT, with a retest included. A one-day Security Quick Scan costs €1,000. A multi-day penetration test starts at €2,500 (Compact), €4,500 (Standard) or €7,500 (Full), depending on scope. Prices are set in euros and can be invoiced in EUR, USD or GBP. Send a request via the contact form and you'll hear within one business day what to expect.

Is a cheaper pentest a worse pentest?

No. At Resync, testing time sets the price, not quality. Every testing day is manual work by the same OSCP-certified tester, with the same report format, a digitally signed report and a retest. What a shorter test has less of is coverage: in one day I focus on the highest-risk areas, such as login, authorisation between users and the most sensitive features. A thorough pentest of a multi-role application usually takes four to five testing days, around €5,000 to €6,000, in line with the market. I offer that too. If that budget isn't there, a Compact pentest from €2,500 or a one-day Security Quick Scan for €1,000 is better value than paying a pentester to run a scanner: a free scanner such as OWASP ZAP is something you can run yourself.

Do you work with clients outside the Netherlands?

Yes. Almost every engagement runs fully remotely, so where you are based is rarely a constraint. I work with clients across the EU, the UK and the US, arrange calls around your timezone, sign an NDA and contract in English, and can invoice in EUR, USD or GBP. Reporting and communication are in English throughout.

How long does a penetration test take?

A Security Quick Scan takes one testing day. A web application pentest usually takes three to five testing days; larger platforms take more. Lead time depends on scope: Compact 1–2 weeks, Standard 2–3 weeks, Full 3–5 weeks. After the intake you receive an exact schedule.

We are a small organisation — do we really need a pentest?

Small and medium organisations are a popular target because attackers know there is less security capacity. NIS2 also requires an increasing number of organisations — including SMEs and public sector entities — to demonstrably have their security in order.

A pentest is relevant for any organisation that handles confidential data or is legally required to demonstrate it takes security seriously.

What if little or nothing is found?

Then you have written proof that your systems withstood a manual attack by a certified tester. That is also a valuable result — for regulators, clients or your own board.

How confidentially is my information handled?

All findings, system documentation and communications are subject to strict confidentiality. A standard NDA is signed for every project. Your data is never shared or stored outside the project.

We already have an IT team or IT partner — do we still need a pentest?

Yes. Your IT partner manages your systems, but doesn't think like an attacker. Most vulnerabilities I find are not visible to routine IT management because they are discovered by creatively misusing logic and configurations in ways that never arise during normal operations.
