A once-per-year penetration test leaves your environment untested for 364 days. If your team ships code weekly, you need testing that matches your deployment cadence — with the same tester who knows your environment each month.
PTaaS gives you a dedicated penetration tester, retest credits after remediation, Jira and Linear integration, and findings tracked over time — starting at $2,500/month.
Traditional penetration testing is a project. PTaaS is a program. The six capabilities below are what separate continuous testing from the point-in-time engagement model.
The same dedicated penetration tester is assigned to your subscription every month. They accumulate institutional knowledge of your architecture, authentication patterns, and previously-tested areas — enabling deeper, more contextual testing than a rotating contractor who re-orients from scratch each engagement.
Every finding comes with a bundled retest credit. After your engineering team remediates a vulnerability, we validate the fix in the next monthly cycle at no additional charge. Retest results are documented so you have a clear audit trail of remediation verification — exactly what compliance frameworks require.
Findings are tracked over time in a persistent dashboard. You can see how your risk posture is trending — which vulnerability classes are being eliminated, which are recurring, and where new exposure is being introduced by recent deployments. This is evidence you can present to a board or auditor.
Findings are automatically pushed to your project management system as tickets, tagged by severity (Critical / High / Medium / Low), and assigned to the relevant engineering owner. No manual spreadsheet-to-ticket translation. Findings enter your existing remediation workflow immediately after the testing cycle closes.
Scope is reviewed at the start of each monthly cycle. As your application evolves — new APIs, new microservices, new authentication flows — the test scope evolves with it. You are never locked into testing the same surfaces month after month while your actual attack surface expands elsewhere.
Each cycle produces a concise findings brief. Every quarter, we deliver a consolidated executive summary with remediation trend charts — suitable for board review, compliance audits, and cyber insurance renewals. Traditional annual pentest reports are replaced by a continuous, time-stamped evidence trail.
Fixed monthly subscriptions — no per-finding fees, no surprise invoices when your scope grows. Each tier is designed around a specific testing hour volume and environment complexity.
Continuous testing for small teams with a single primary application or API.
Full PTaaS coverage for growing engineering teams with multiple applications.
High-volume continuous testing for complex environments and compliance requirements.
One-time engagements also available for organizations not ready for a subscription. View our network penetration testing page.
From initial scoping to ongoing monthly cycles, here is how the PTaaS engagement operates — and what your team should expect each month.
We define initial scope — applications, APIs, network segments — and establish your ticketing integration and reporting preferences. Typical scoping call is 45 minutes.
Your dedicated penetration tester is assigned. They review prior findings, architectural documentation, and any known high-risk areas before the first cycle begins.
Testing runs throughout the month against the agreed scope. New features and deployments flagged by your team are prioritized. Findings are documented in real time.
At cycle close, findings are delivered and pushed to your ticketing system. Findings from prior cycles that your team has remediated are retested and marked verified or re-opened.
PTaaS is purpose-built for organizations where the attack surface changes faster than a once-per-year test can keep up with. These are the use cases where the subscription model meaningfully outperforms traditional annual testing.
If your team merges code multiple times per week, your attack surface changes between annual tests. New API endpoints, authentication changes, and dependency updates can introduce vulnerabilities that remain untested for up to 11 months. PTaaS closes that gap — every new deployment can be flagged for testing within the current monthly cycle.
Enterprise procurement increasingly demands evidence of continuous security testing, not just an annual pentest attestation. A PTaaS engagement produces monthly findings reports and quarterly executive summaries that satisfy the expectations of enterprise security teams and compliance officers who review vendor security posture on an ongoing basis.
Fintech applications handle payment data, account credentials, and financial transactions — high-value targets that attract motivated adversaries. New product features, API integrations with banking partners, and regulatory changes (PCI DSS, NYDFS) create a constantly evolving attack surface. PTaaS provides the continuous coverage that one-time engagements cannot.
Organizations that received a high-severity finding in a previous penetration test and successfully remediated it often want validation that the fix held — and that no new vulnerabilities were introduced during remediation. PTaaS provides that continuous validation loop, with retest credits included for every finding and a persistent findings database that tracks remediation progress over time.
Your engineering team ships code every week. Your security testing should keep pace. PTaaS gives you continuous coverage, a dedicated tester who knows your environment, and findings that integrate directly into your workflow.
