Penetration testing companies in Brazil: how to compare
In Brazil the same service is bought under four names — teste de intrusão, pentest, teste de penetração and teste de invasão — which makes two proposals look comparable when they are not. Compare providers on six things: whether scope is defined by asset or by hour, who validates findings before you receive them, whether testing is point-in-time or recurring, what exactly falls inside the authorised scope, whether retesting is included, and whether the report serves your audit programme.
Who this page is for
Security leaders running an RFP who need a defensible way to separate providers that all promise the same outcome.
Teams whose last report turned out to be a scanner export with a cover page, and who now need evidence an auditor will accept.
Engineering organizations shipping every week, for whom a single annual engagement leaves eleven months untested.
Four ways to buy a penetration test in Brazil, compared
In Brazil the same service is bought under four names: teste de intrusao, pentest, teste de penetracao and teste de invasao. Before comparing providers, compare delivery models, because the model matters more than the brand: it changes who actually tests, how often, how much triage is left for your team, and whether the result holds up in an audit.
Named vendor comparisons live on their own pages. This grid is about the delivery model, which is the decision you make first.
The six criteria that separate proposals
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between teste de intrusao, pentest and teste de penetracao?
None. They are different names for the same exercise in Portuguese, along with teste de invasao. Teste de intrusao is the form used most in technical and regulatory documents; pentest is the everyday form. Two proposals using different words are not describing different scopes because of it — the scope is in what each one details.
How much does a penetration test cost in Brazil?
It depends on the number and size of the assets, the depth, the recurrence and the billing model. Proposals quoted by hour and proposals quoted by asset are not directly comparable, so compare what each one covers rather than the total. Two quotes for the same application can differ several times over purely because one includes retesting and manual business-logic testing and the other does not.
How long does it take?
Three separate clocks, which should not be added together. At Strike, platform setup takes under 5 minutes for supported scopes; the start of execution depends on sizing and authorisation; and the curated set of findings arrives in 1-2 hours of execution, with the first validated finding in about 1 hour.
Does a penetration test make my company compliant?
No. It supports audit and compliance programs by supplying evidence. Compliance depends on the full set of controls in your programme, and no single test report establishes it.
How often should we test?
It depends on how often the asset changes. A system that ships several times a week and is tested once a year spends most of its time without current validation.
How do we compare two proposals fairly?
Send the same written questionnaire to every shortlisted provider, using the six criteria above, and ask for a redacted sample report before signing. Answers given in different formats are not comparable, and that is exactly where a price difference stops being explainable.
