The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 33 figures, never sentences; 845 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): every price a UK penetration testing provider states on its own site, normalised to one grid - test type (external infrastructure, internal/Active Directory, web application, API, mobile, cloud, wireless, social engineering, red team, ITHC, Cyber Essentials Plus), unit (per day, per engagement, per application, per IP, per month), the day count assumed, whether retest, VAT and out-of-hours are included, and whether the firm is CHECK or CREST assured - giving the median day rate, the interquartile spread and the low-high range per test type, the CREST premium measured rather than asserted, the retest-included share, the minimum engagement that dominates small scopes, and the share of providers that publish any price at all. The buyer's actual complaint - the same scope quoted at GBP 1,500 by one firm and GBP 9,000 by another - is the number this index answers, and no page anywhere computes it across publishers.", "embed": "
