Where NCC Group sits: both sides of the split
NCC Group tells buyers to “choose the approach that suits your organization, from traditional penetration testing engagements to Continuous Penetration Testing for ongoing assurance.” That puts it on both sides of our PTaaS vs traditional consulting split: a consultancy with in-house testers that also sells an ongoing testing service.
When you ask for a quote, say which route you want, and for network testing, which automation level. Then benchmark it against our day rates and average cost by test type.
