Bishop Fox Pentest Pricing in 2026
Bishop Fox publishes no pentest prices. It does publish more structure than most consultancies: three defined application pentest packages (Baseline, Standard, Advanced) for covering a large app portfolio on a budget, alongside custom-scoped testing for mission-critical applications and its Cosmos continuous testing platform. All of them are quoted.
What Bishop Fox publishes, and what it does not
- Three app pentest packages and what each covers
- Custom-scoped testing for mission-critical apps
- Testing cadence from point in time to continuous
- Retesting as a deliverable; remediation testing from the portal
- Cosmos continuous offensive security platform
- A price for any package
- A day rate or minimum engagement size
- The length of each package’s testing window
- Retest window or cost; Cosmos pricing
Bishop Fox’s published application pentest packages
| Package | Bishop Fox’s stated aim | What it covers | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline | Identify commonly exploited weaknesses and establish a security baseline | Authentication and authorization controls; session management; data security and basic encryption (SSL/TLS); common injection attacks (XSS, SQL injection, CSRF, SSRF); security hygiene such as header flaws | Not published |
| Standard | Test for the most critical web application risks and support regulatory compliance | Everything in Baseline; OWASP Top 10 assessment; limited business logic testing; file transfer exploitation; application logic circumvention attempts | Not published |
| Advanced | Applications with more complex functionality, or where an earlier test found issues needing more work | Everything in Baseline and Standard; expanded business logic testing; detailed feature-based assessments for application-specific concerns | Not published |
| Custom scope | “The gold standard for mission-critical applications” | Attack surface mapping, assessors matched to app type and language, automated and manual review beyond the OWASP Top 10, report with attack chains, findings review, retesting | Not published |

Why the packages exist
Bishop Fox’s datasheet is direct about the trade-off. It says its packages “are designed to balance your security needs with budget constraints”, and that while “custom-scoped penetration testing remains the gold standard for mission-critical applications”, applying it across an expansive portfolio “isn’t feasible or cost-effective”. The packages run as time-limited testing, and you track findings, download reports and start remediation testing in Bishop Fox’s customer portal.
For a buyer, that means a Bishop Fox quote can come in two shapes: a package price per application across a portfolio, or a custom-scoped engagement for the applications that matter most. Ask which one you are being quoted, and which package level, before you compare it with anyone else.
Where Bishop Fox sits: consultancy with a platform
Custom-scoped engagements put Bishop Fox on the consulting side of our PTaaS vs traditional consulting split. It also says it aligns testing cadence “from point in time to continuous”, and sells Cosmos, which it calls “the continuous offensive security platform”. Neither carries a price.
With no published figures, benchmark a Bishop Fox quote against our day rates and engagement tiers, or against the vendors that do publish: Synack, Bugcrowd and Astra.
Questions buyers ask
Does Bishop Fox publish pentest prices?
No. Bishop Fox's application penetration testing page, its packages datasheet and its Cosmos platform page carry no dollar figures. Every route is 'Get Started' or 'Contact Us'.
What are Bishop Fox's pentest packages?
Bishop Fox publishes three application pentest packages: Baseline, Standard and Advanced. Baseline covers authentication, session management, basic encryption, common injection attacks and security hygiene. Standard adds an OWASP Top 10 assessment and limited business logic testing. Advanced adds expanded business logic testing and feature-based assessments. Bishop Fox describes them as time-limited testing, designed to balance security needs with budget constraints.
When does Bishop Fox recommend custom scope instead of a package?
Its datasheet says custom-scoped penetration testing remains the gold standard for mission-critical applications, and that applying that approach across a large application portfolio is not feasible or cost-effective. The packages exist to cover the rest of the portfolio.
Does Bishop Fox include retesting?
Bishop Fox lists retesting among the deliverables of its application penetration testing, and its packages datasheet says you can initiate remediation testing from the customer portal. It does not publish a retest window or a retest price.
