What is PTaaS?

Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) is a cloud-delivered, continuous security testing model that combines automated vulnerability scanning with expert human analysis. Unlike traditional penetration testing, which is periodic and static, PTaaS provides ongoing security assessments, real-time insights, and rapid remediation guidance enabling organizations to detect and fix vulnerabilities as they emerge.

With PTaaS, you can continuously monitor your applications, APIs, and network infrastructure, ensuring that every change, update, or deployment is secure.

PTaaS vs Traditional Penetration Testing

Traditional penetration testing is typically conducted as an annual or biannual project, leaving potential gaps where new vulnerabilities may go undetected. In contrast, PTaaS follows a continuous or on-demand subscription model, providing year-round security coverage. Remediation in traditional testing is often delayed until the final report is delivered, whereas PTaaS flags vulnerabilities in real time, enabling immediate action. Cost-wise, traditional testing involves high upfront fees and lacks flexibility, while PTaaS offers a subscription-based, scalable model. Traditional approaches are resource-intensive and manual, but PTaaS streamlines processes and automates many testing steps. Finally, integration with existing tools is limited in traditional testing and often siloed, whereas PTaaS is designed to integrate directly with DevOps and security workflows, supporting a “shift-left” security culture.

How PTaaS Works

1. Planning & Scoping

Collaborate with our team to define the goals, scope, and rules of engagement for your security tests.

2. Continuous Discovery

Automated scanners map and monitor your external attack surface continuously, discovering new or unknown assets.

3. Hybrid Testing

Ethical hackers simulate real-world attack scenarios using a combination of automated tools and manual techniques.

4. Real-Time Reporting

All findings are logged instantly in a centralized dashboard, categorized by severity and business impact.

5. Collaboration & Remediation

Security and development teams receive remediation guidance and collaborate directly with testers for faster, correct fixes.

6. Retesting

After fixes are applied, vulnerabilities are automatically or manually retested to confirm complete resolution.

7. Compliance & Reporting

Automatically generate audit-ready reports to comply with standards such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and other industry regulations.
