Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS)
Continuous, subscription-based offensive auditing paired with real-time engineer support and target rescans.
Last reviewed by Rhitik Kumar, Lead Offensive Security Engineer.
Scope of Assessment
Move away from point-in-time tests. Penetration testing delivered as an ongoing service: assets scanned continuously, every change manually validated, and immediate support for your developers.
Engagement Details
How the engagement runs
- 01
Onboarding and asset inventory
Your assets are inventoried and scoped once, with rules of engagement agreed for the year rather than renegotiated every quarter.
- 02
Continuous automated coverage
Scheduled scanning watches for new exposure, changed endpoints, expired certificates and newly published CVEs affecting your stack.
- 03
Manual validation on change
Engineers manually validate what the scanners flag — removing false positives — and test significant releases by hand rather than waiting for the annual window.
- 04
Ongoing reporting and retest
Findings arrive as they are confirmed, with a direct path to an engineer, and patches are re-verified on request instead of queued to the next cycle.
What you receive
- Continuously updated findings, not one annual PDF
- Manual validation so reported issues are real
- Direct engineer access for your development team
- Patch re-verification on request
- Annual summary report suitable for customers and auditors
Frequently Asked Questions
How does billing work?
PTaaS is billed as an annual subscription, giving your development team continuous testing scopes and fast retests.
How is this different from a one-off pentest?
A point-in-time test certifies one day. PTaaS covers the year: new code, new endpoints and newly published vulnerabilities get tested as they appear, not months later.
Does it replace an annual pentest report?
No, it includes one. You still get a formal annual report for customers and auditors, backed by continuous testing rather than a single week of work.
Can we add assets mid-subscription?
Yes. Assets can be added during the term, with scope and price adjusted at the next billing period.
