What Australian pentest service procurement actually involves
Four delivery models are standard: Project Fixed-Price (compliance audits), Pay-As-You-Go (continuous coverage), Annual Retainer (enterprise multi-engagement), and Co-Sourced (joint delivery with internal team). The right choice depends on engagement cadence, internal capability, and budget structure.
Six SLA categories matter: quote turnaround (24h standard), active testing start (5 business days), critical finding disclosure (within 24h, Penva commits to 4h), report delivery (7-10 business days post-testing), retest scheduling (5 business days from remediation evidence), tester continuity across engagements. Contract structure is three documents: MSA (commercial framework), SOW (per engagement), ROE (operational specifics). Required insurance: Professional Indemnity (AUD $5M+), Public Liability, Cyber Liability.
