How much does a penetration test cost for an SME?

B2B penetration testing for SMEs typically ranges from €3,500 for standardized external vulnerability scans to €8,000–€15,000 for comprehensive manual white-box audits of complex web portals and API architectures.

What proof and deliverables does CyberEiche provide for NIS-2 and insurers?

You receive an audit-proof report according to BSI and OWASP standards including CVSS risk scoring, executive management summary, and technical remediation roadmap for auditors.

Are autonomous AI agents, chatbots and RAG pipelines tested?

Yes. CyberEiche conducts specialized AI Red Teaming: We test chatbots and RAG pipelines for prompt injections, jailbreaks, data leakage, and unauthorized API execution.

Are identified vulnerabilities remediated directly?

Yes. Unlike pure advisory firms, CyberEiche provides code-level remediation and includes a retest to certify in writing that discovered security holes have been closed.
