PTaaS — Penetration Testing as a Service
Continuous offensive coverage. Recurring assessments, dedicated tester access, embedded into your SDLC. For organisations that need testing beyond annual compliance cycles.
What Is PTaaS?
Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) replaces the traditional annual pentest model with continuous offensive coverage. Instead of a point-in-time assessment that produces a PDF report and expires in 12 months, PTaaS embeds security testing into your development lifecycle — recurring assessments, on-demand retesting, and dedicated access to a consultant who understands your environment.
For organisations that ship code continuously, deploy infrastructure changes weekly, or face regulatory requirements for ongoing assessment, PTaaS is how offensive security keeps pace with the speed of modern development.
What PTaaS Includes
Everything in a traditional pentest, plus continuity.
Recurring Assessments
Scheduled penetration testing across your environment — monthly, quarterly, or aligned to your release cadence. Every assessment builds on the last, tracking remediation progress and identifying new vulnerabilities as they emerge.
Dedicated Consultant
A named consultant assigned to your account who understands your architecture, history, and risk profile. No re-briefing a new tester every engagement. The person who tested last quarter is the person who tests this quarter.
SDLC Integration
Testing embedded into your software development lifecycle. Pre-release assessments of new features, infrastructure change validation, and continuous monitoring of the attack surface as your environment evolves.
Findings Dashboard
Real-time visibility into every finding — status, severity, age, and remediation progress. Track trends over time, communicate with your testing team, and export stakeholder-ready reports on demand.
On-Demand Retesting
Fixed a vulnerability? Submit it for retesting immediately. No waiting for the next engagement cycle. Verified fixes close findings in the dashboard; failed retests reopen them with feedback for the development team.
Rapid Response
New feature launching? Infrastructure migration? Security incident? Your dedicated consultant is available for targeted testing outside the regular cadence. PTaaS means offensive security support when you need it, not when the contract allows.
Why PTaaS Instead of Annual Pentests?
The model that made sense when applications shipped once a year doesn't work today.
Continuous Coverage
New code, new infrastructure, new vulnerabilities — every week. An annual pentest covers a snapshot in time. PTaaS covers your environment continuously, catching issues as they're introduced, not months later.
Faster Remediation
Findings appear in the dashboard the moment they're confirmed. Developers fix and submit for retesting immediately. No waiting for the final report, no PDF-driven remediation cycles. The loop from finding to fix is days, not months.
Institutional Knowledge
A dedicated consultant who has tested your environment before knows where the previous vulnerabilities were, which patterns to look for, and how your architecture has evolved. Context that a new tester every year cannot replicate.
Compliance Built-In
For organisations with regulatory requirements for periodic testing — MAS TRM, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS — PTaaS produces the assessment records you need as a byproduct of continuous testing, not a separate project.
PTaaS Coverage
Every offensive security discipline, available continuously.
Web Applications
Continuous assessment of web applications as they evolve. New features tested before release, existing functionality re-assessed for regression, and API endpoints evaluated as they're added.
Infrastructure
Recurring external perimeter assessment, internal network validation after changes, and cloud configuration monitoring as your environment scales.
Mobile Apps
Assessment of new app releases as they ship. Version-over-version regression testing to ensure that fixes hold and new features don't introduce new vulnerabilities.
Trend Tracking
Over time, PTaaS builds a picture of your security trajectory. Are vulnerability counts trending down? Are remediation times improving? Are the same classes of issues recurring? The data tells the story.
