Recurring security testing

Plan repeat assessments as your systems and applications change.

How an engagement runs

What we’ll cover

  1. Identify the applications and infrastructure that change most often.

  2. Set an assessment cadence and agree on scope for each testing window.

  3. Track findings and define how remediation verification will be handled.

The work

How recurring testing works

A testing cadence

Instead of one test a year, assessments are planned on a schedule that follows how often your applications and infrastructure change, such as after major releases or each quarter.

Scope per testing window

Each round has its own agreed scope, so testing concentrates on what changed or what matters most at the time.

Findings tracked over time

Findings are tracked between rounds and fixes are retested, so you can see which issues are closed and which remain.

Scope

A scope you can review

Your proposal defines the systems covered, deliverables, responsibilities, timeline, and fees. Work begins after the scope and required authorization are agreed. Any ongoing coverage or response commitments are specified in the service agreement.
  • Systems covered
  • Deliverables
  • Responsibilities
  • Timeline
  • Fees

After the work

Useful next steps

The aim is to help your team understand the findings and decide what to address first. Remediation assistance and retesting can be discussed as part of the engagement.

Questions

Common questions

What is penetration testing as a service (PTaaS)?

Penetration testing delivered as an ongoing programme rather than a single project: tests repeat on a cadence, findings are tracked between rounds, and fixes are verified. The cadence and scope of each round are agreed in the proposal.

When is recurring testing better than an annual test?

When your applications or infrastructure change often, when customers or regulators expect evidence of regular testing, or when you want fixes verified quickly rather than at next year's test.

Is it automated scanning?

No. Each round is a penetration test carried out by a person within the agreed scope; automated tools may support the work but do not replace it.
