Our Cyber Security Cost Services

Flexible security testing engagements help small businesses budget for meaningful, evidence-driven protection as their products and risks evolve.

Security Discovery Call

Start with a free 30-minute call to map your AI and infrastructure attack surface, clarify priorities, and receive indicative pricing and delivery timelines for the right engagement.

AI Security Testing

Assess LLM applications, RAG pipelines, and AI agents for prompt injection, data exposure, guardrail bypass, and other risks traditional testing can miss.

Infrastructure Testing

Use expert-led penetration testing for web applications, APIs, mobile apps, cloud environments, and networks, with actionable findings tailored to your technology stack.

Compliance Readiness

Build pentest evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and relevant AI requirements while prioritizing remediation by certification and customer-review impact.

Continuous PTaaS

Align ongoing penetration testing with product sprints and model updates, track vulnerabilities in real time, and verify fixes quickly after staging deployment.

Source Code Review

Find security issues in application and AI product code before release, including access control, secrets handling, dependencies, and prompt or tool-call logic.

Clear Budget Planning

Invest in Security That Fits

Cyber security cost should reflect what you are building, the data you handle, and the assurance customers or auditors require—not a one-size-fits-all package. Vynox Security offers transparent, stage-appropriate scoping across AI and infrastructure testing. You receive manual, expert-led validation, developer-ready remediation guidance, and reports designed for engineering leaders and business stakeholders, so your security budget supports measurable risk reduction and confident releases.
