What time investment do you estimate for a penetration test?

The time required for a penetration test varies from case to case due to the highly diverse IT structures and individual requirements of each test. Generally, the effort ranges from a few days to several weeks. Estimating an appropriate time frame is part of the preliminary meeting, among other factors.

On the client’s side, personnel resources are usually only minimally engaged. What is primarily needed is a contact person for addressing any questions that may arise during the penetration test.
