Our approach
Concrete results, not jargon
Every report is written to be read: an executive summary for leadership, a prioritized action plan for technical teams, and realistic recommendations given your budget.
French field expertise
Our consultants have real SOC/CERT experience. Not textbook profiles — analysts who have handled incidents in real conditions, on infrastructure similar to yours.
Sized for SMBs
We know an SMB's cybersecurity budget isn't a large enterprise's. Our engagements are scoped to be affordable without sacrificing technical rigor.
Skill transfer
The goal isn't to create dependency. Every engagement includes a teaching debrief so your teams understand the issues and can progress independently.
A trusted partner
We combine operational expertise with a teaching approach to deliver realistic action plans, concrete recommendations and a clear view of your security priorities.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does a pentest cost for an SMB?
- The cost of an SMB pentest varies by scope: between €2,000 and €8,000 excl. tax for a targeted audit (web app, internal network or Active Directory). ForenShield offers a free quote tailored to each context and budget.
- What's the difference between a security audit and a pentest?
- A security audit assesses your overall posture: policies, configurations, ISO 27001/NIS2 compliance. A pentest (penetration test) simulates a real attack to identify exploitable vulnerabilities. The two complement each other: the audit defines the scope, the pentest validates it under real conditions.

- Yes. ForenShield delivers cybersecurity services on-site and remotely for SMBs, mid-market companies and local authorities across France. Each engagement is scaled to your organization's budget and operational constraints.
- How can an SMB comply with NIS2?
