Quotes for a 'penetration test' in Saudi Arabia range from 5,000 to 200,000 SAR. The spread exists because the word covers very different work. Here is what each type actually includes and what a fair price looks like.
The four engagement types
- Web application test: 15,000–45,000 SAR depending on roles and flows
- External/internal network test: 20,000–60,000 SAR by size
- Mobile app test (iOS + Android + API): 25,000–55,000 SAR
- Red team / adversary simulation: scoped individually from 120,000 SAR
What a real report contains
A scanner export is not a penetration test report. A proper deliverable shows each finding with reproduction steps, business impact, evidence, and remediation guidance an engineer can follow — plus an executive summary a board member can read. Ask for a sample report before you sign.
When you need it for compliance
NCA ECC, SAMA, PCI DSS and SACS-002 all expect periodic penetration testing with evidence. The test must be performed by an independent party with documented methodology — confirm your auditor accepts the provider's approach before the engagement starts, not after.
The practical takeaway
Price follows scope: fix the assets, roles and report format in writing, and the quote becomes comparable.
