Stage 1 (instant, 30 seconds): Use the estimator below to select your scope options – test type, asset count, compliance framework, urgency. The estimator returns your estimated price range and timeline immediately. See the numbers before you commit to anything.

Stage 2 (optional, same business day): If the estimate works for your budget and timeline, submit additional details and we’ll return a detailed fixed-price quote the same business day. The detailed quote includes locked scope, methodology citation, engagement dates, tester credentials, and free 60-day retest included as standard.
Most Australian pentest providers take 5-10 business days to return a first quote. Penva Security’s two-stage model gets you to an indicative number in 60 seconds and a fixed-price commitment by close of business – same day if submitted before 2pm AEST.

The Two-Stage Quote Process

How You Get From Curious to Quoted

The estimator gives you a budget-grade number in 60 seconds. The detailed quote gives you a contract-grade fixed price by end of business day. Most buyers do both.

⚡ 60 seconds

Stage 1 — Instant Estimate

Select a few options about your scope. The estimator returns your estimated price range and engagement timeline immediately. No contact details required to see the numbers.

✍ 2-4 minutes

Stage 2 — Submit Details

If the estimate works for you, submit additional scope details. Optional – only happens if you want a precise fixed-price quote rather than the estimated range.

✉ Same business day

Stage 3 — Detailed Quote

Detailed fixed-price quote in your inbox the same business day (submit before 2pm AEST). Locked scope, methodology, timeline, tester credentials, free retest included.

Estimate vs Detailed Quote

What's the Difference Between the Two?

The estimate gives you a ‘is this in budget?’ answer in 60 seconds. The detailed quote gives you a ‘this is what we’ll sign’ fixed price the same business day. Side-by-side:

Instant Estimate

Stage 1 · Budget-grade

⏱ 30 seconds

An estimated price range and timeline based on standard scope patterns for the options you select. Designed to get you to a budget decision fast, without contact-details exchange.

Best used for
Initial budget validation, internal procurement justification, deciding whether to proceed with Penva or compare alternatives.

Detailed Quote

Stage 2 · Contract-grade

✉ Same business day

A single locked fixed-price quote specific to your exact engagement, with detailed scope, methodology citation, engagement dates, and tester credentials. The document you’d actually sign against.

Best used for
Formal procurement processes, contract signing, audit documentation, internal stakeholder sign-off, comparison against competitor fixed-price quotes.

FAQ

Estimator & Quote Process — Common Questions

Direct answers to the questions buyers ask about the two-stage estimator and detailed quote process. Updated May 2026.

How does the instant quote estimator actually work?
You select a few options about your scope (test type, number of assets, compliance framework, urgency) and the estimator instantly returns an estimated price range and timeline based on Penva Security’s standard pricing model. The estimate is generated immediately – no waiting, no submission required to see the numbers. If the estimate works for your budget and timeline, you can optionally submit more details for a detailed fixed-price quote back the same business day.
Is the instant estimate the same as the detailed quote?
No – they’re different by design. The instant estimate is a range based on standard scope patterns; the detailed quote is a single locked price specific to your exact engagement. The instant estimate gets you to a ‘is this in my budget?’ answer in 60 seconds. The detailed quote gets you to a ‘this is exactly what we’ll pay and what we’ll get’ answer the same business day.
How accurate is the instant estimate vs the detailed quote?
The instant estimate is typically accurate to within 15-25% of the detailed quote for standard scopes – close enough to make budget decisions but not granular enough to sign a contract on. The detailed quote refines this based on the specifics of your engagement: exact asset list, role complexity, compliance reporting depth, scheduling constraints. About 80% of detailed quotes land within the instant estimate’s range; the rest adjust up or down based on scope specifics revealed during review.
Do I have to submit details to see the estimate?
No – the estimator shows your estimated price and timeline immediately based on the options you select. You see the numbers before you commit to anything. The ‘submit for detailed quote’ step is optional and only happens if you want a precise fixed-price commitment rather than the estimate.
How long does the detailed quote take?
Same business day for most requests. If you submit detailed information before 2pm AEST, the detailed quote typically lands in your inbox before close of business. For requests submitted after 2pm AEST or with complex scope requiring additional clarification, the detailed quote comes back the following business day.
What's actually in the detailed quote?
Six elements: detailed scope confirmation (every asset, role, exclusion documented), fixed-price quote (single locked number), methodology citation (OWASP WSTG, PTES, NIST as relevant), engagement timeline (locked dates), tester credentials statement (CREST credentials disclosed under NDA), and free 60-day retest included as standard. Everything an audit team or procurement team needs to validate the engagement.
Is the detailed quote actually fixed-price or does it change later?
Genuinely fixed. The quoted price is the invoiced price – no scope-change surcharges, no platform fees, no surprise add-ons mid-engagement. The only thing that changes pricing is if you formally expand scope (add a new product, add user roles, change frameworks) – and that conversation happens with a fresh quote, not a surprise invoice.
Can I get an instant estimate without giving you my contact details?
Yes – the instant estimator shows estimated price and timeline based purely on the scope options you select. Your contact details are only needed if you choose to submit for the detailed same-day quote. The estimator itself is anonymous and instant.
What if the instant estimate is way outside my budget?
Useful to know early. Two paths from there: (1) we can discuss scope reduction options to bring the engagement into your budget while still satisfying compliance requirements, or (2) you can explore alternative providers without wasting time on either side. Either way, you’ve got real numbers in 60 seconds instead of a 2-week sales cycle to find out.
Do you sign NDAs before the detailed quote conversation?
Yes. Mutual NDA can be in place before the detailed quote includes any specific information about your environment. The instant estimate doesn’t require NDA because it’s based on generic scope options; the detailed quote includes specifics that warrant confidentiality, so NDA is standard before that conversation.
How much does penetration testing cost in Australia in general?
Australian penetration testing costs range from AUD $2,500 to $45,000+ per engagement. Small scope: $2,500-$8,000. Standard SaaS: $8,000-$20,000. Multi-product FinTech/HealthTech: $20,000-$40,000. Enterprise: $40,000+. The four pricing tiers above show the typical scope-to-price mapping; the estimator gives you a more specific number based on your scope. See the detailed cost page for the 9 factors that affect pricing.
Why don't most pentest providers offer instant quotes?
Two reasons. Legitimate: real pentest scoping is genuinely complex and a single instant number would be misleading for a 1,000-engineer enterprise. Less legitimate: opaque pricing lets sales teams price-discriminate by company size. Penva Security’s instant estimator works because it’s a range based on standard scope patterns – precise enough to budget against, conservative enough not to mislead.
