Ethical hacking vs penetration testing

The terms are often used interchangeably. In practice, a business ethical hacking engagement is a penetration test: authorised, scoped testing with agreed rules of engagement, testing windows and escalation contacts.

Nothing is tested without written approval, and critical issues are escalated to your contact during testing.

  • Web applications and websites
  • REST and GraphQL APIs
  • Android and iOS mobile apps

    A 30-minute call to understand your targets, user roles, environments and deadlines.

  2. 2. Written scope and quote

    A clear scope, timeline and price based on what actually needs testing.

  3. 3. Manual testing

    Automated discovery for breadth, then manual testing of logic, access control and authentication.

  4. 4. Report and retest

    Findings with severity, evidence and remediation, then verification once fixes are in.

Frequently asked questions

Is ethical hacking legal?

Yes, when it is authorised. Every engagement starts with a written scope and approval from the system owner.

Can ethical hacking break my systems?

Testing is planned to avoid disruption. Risky tests are agreed in advance and can be run against staging environments.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on scope: number of targets, user roles and depth of manual testing. Book a call and we will send a quote based on your real scope.

Do you work with teams outside India?

Yes. Testing is mostly remote, so we work with teams across India and internationally.
