How is PTaaS different from a traditional penetration test?

A traditional penetration test is usually a point-in-time project. PTaaS keeps testing available throughout the year so you can test releases, validate new exposure, retest fixes, and keep security evidence current.

Does PTaaS mean you are testing us 24/7?

Not exactly. PTaaS is an ongoing testing model, but active testing still follows agreed scope, rules of engagement, and testing windows. The value is that testing capacity and remediation support are available when risk changes.

Who is a good fit for PTaaS?

PTaaS is a strong fit for teams that ship frequently, maintain customer-facing applications or APIs, handle enterprise security reviews, or need a repeatable way to test and retest without running a new procurement cycle each time.

Will we still receive reports?

Yes. You receive validated findings, remediation guidance, retest results, and summaries that can support customer reviews, leadership updates, and audit evidence.

Is this automated scanning or manual testing?

PTaaS can use automation to help identify signals, but high-impact findings are manually validated and explained by security practitioners so your team can act with confidence.

Ongoing security testing

Pentesting-as-a-Service for teams that ship continuously

Keep manual security testing aligned to your release cycle. We validate exploitable risk, help engineers fix it, and retest so evidence stays current.

Why it matters

Annual testing does not match modern release cycles.

Most teams do not need a bigger PDF once a year. They need a dependable way to test what changed, validate real exploitability, fix quickly, and prove the loop is closed.

Common triggers

New customer-facing release

Enterprise security review

API or authentication change

Cloud or attack surface change

Test when risk changes

Run focused testing around releases, customer commitments, architecture changes, and newly exposed attack surface.

Keep findings moving

Validated issues include evidence, reproduction steps, impact, and remediation guidance your engineers can act on.

Retest without drama

Close the loop with retesting after fixes, so security does not stall at ticket creation.

Maintain evidence

Keep a current trail of testing activity, validated findings, remediation status, and retest outcomes.

Operating model

What PTaaS covers

PTaaS works best when it is tied to recurring risk: releases, APIs, cloud exposure, and fix verification.

Release testing

Focused manual testing for high-risk features before or after launch.

New authentication, payment, admin, and data-access flows
API changes, new integrations, and customer-facing releases
Regression testing for previously sensitive areas

Attack surface review

Recurring review of external assets, cloud exposure, and reachable services.

New domains, services, endpoints, and infrastructure changes
Cloud permissions, storage exposure, and management interfaces
Manual validation of high-signal findings before escalation

Remediation support

A lightweight operating loop for getting findings fixed and verified.

Engineer-ready reproduction steps and practical fixes
Slack or office-hours support for remediation questions
Retest notes that show what changed and whether risk is closed

Deliverables

Evidence that helps engineering and leadership.

The output should not be a dumping ground of scanner noise. PTaaS deliverables need to move remediation and prove progress.

Testing plan and release-triggered scope

Validated findings with evidence and reproduction steps

Severity, exploitability, and business-impact notes

Remediation guidance for engineering teams

Retest results after fixes

Customer- and audit-ready reporting summaries

Process

A testing loop, not a one-time handoff

We keep the workflow lightweight so findings move from validation to remediation to evidence.

Plan the cadence

We define target systems, release triggers, reporting expectations, and rules of engagement.

Test what changed

Manual testers focus on exploitable risk in the code, API, cloud, or workflow that actually moved.

Route validated findings

You get concise evidence, severity, impact, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance.

Retest and report

Fixes are verified and the evidence trail stays current for customers, auditors, and leadership.

Good fit

Use PTaaS when security needs to keep pace with delivery.

You release meaningful product changes every month or faster.

Customers ask for fresh testing evidence, not last year’s report.

Your team needs help validating and retesting fixes.

You want a repeatable testing motion without restarting procurement each time.
