Penetration Testing by Industry SaaS · FinTech · Healthcare

If your business operates in a regulated sector (FinTech, HealthTech) or sells to one, yes — industry-specific testing matters because your compliance frameworks, attack surface and buyer expectations are different from a generic web app. SaaS sits in between: generic pentesting is often acceptable, but SaaS-specific testing (especially multi-tenant isolation) finds higher-severity issues your auditors and enterprise customers will care about.

Most modern Australian businesses span sectors — a HealthTech often has a SaaS platform and FinTech elements. The honest answer: pick the page closest to your most regulated component (HealthTech for PHI; FinTech for APRA / PCI; SaaS for non-regulated B2B platforms), and we’ll combine scope from the others in the scoping call. Cross-industry engagements are common at Penva Security.

We work across more sectors than the three primary pages cover. E-commerce (PCI DSS focus), education (ST4S, student data), Government (IRAP / ISM / Essential Eight), retail, professional services — all common engagement areas. The three industry pages reflect our highest-volume sectors but the scoping process is the same: book a call and we’ll match scope and methodology to your context.

The CREST-certified testers are consistent — same team, same methodology. What differs is the scoping process and the testing emphasis. SaaS engagements weight testing toward multi-tenant and business logic; FinTech weights toward transaction logic and segmentation; HealthTech weights toward PHI handling and authorisation across user tiers. The testers know each sector’s specific vulnerability patterns.

Pricing varies by scope, not by industry directly. A small SaaS engagement starts from AUD $2,500; a typical multi-asset SaaS or HealthTech engagement runs AUD $8,000 to $20,000; a multi-product APRA-grade FinTech engagement can reach AUD $25,000 to $40,000+. The industry shapes the scope, the scope drives the price.

Yes — this is one of the most common Penva Security engagement patterns. SaaS engagements often produce SOC 2 + ISO 27001 evidence from a single test cycle. FinTech engagements can satisfy APRA + PCI DSS + ISO 27001 simultaneously. HealthTech engagements produce HIPAA + Privacy Act evidence in one report. One test, multi-framework evidence.

Our testers track sector-specific regulatory and technical developments — APRA CPS 230 (operational risk management, third-party rules), FHIR R5 release cycles, OWASP MASVS revisions, PCI DSS v4.0.1 timing changes. Industry pages are refreshed quarterly. If your engagement spans a regulatory change boundary, we’ll flag the timing implications during scoping.

Every engagement produces a letter of attestation suitable for the relevant industry’s procurement and audit context. The format adapts to the industry: SaaS attestations are formatted for enterprise procurement and SOC 2 audits; FinTech attestations are formatted for APRA tripartite review and partner-bank supplier review; HealthTech attestations are formatted for hospital procurement and Business Associate Agreement requirements.
