Monthly manual test cycle
A hands-on test each month, scoped from what you shipped, covering logins, roles, APIs, and business logic.
The Problem
One Yearly Pen Test Cannot Keep Up With Weekly Releases
When you ship every week, a single annual test is out of date the day after it ends, and the next one is eleven months away.
Annual gap
A yearly pen test misses everything you shipped since.
Annual gap
We test each release cycle, so new code is checked while it is fresh.
Portal lock-in
Findings sit in a vendor portal nobody on your team opens.
Portal lock-in
Each finding becomes a ticket in your own Jira, GitHub, or Linear.
Scan noise
An automated service flags possible issues without proving them.
Scan noise
A tester confirms each finding by hand and shows how far it reaches.
Slow reports
A critical bug waits weeks for the final document.
Slow reports
Critical findings reach your team within 24 hours of discovery.
You ship features every sprint, but your pen test happens once a year. By the time the report lands, half of what it covered has changed, and everything built since is untested. A customer asks for your latest results, and the newest ones are ten months old. Old findings still sit in a portal nobody logs into. Between tests, you are guessing, and the gap between what you shipped and what anyone has checked keeps growing. That gap is where an attacker looks first.
We start by learning your release rhythm and your trackers. Each month we scope a manual test cycle from what you shipped: merged pull requests, new endpoints, and changed flows. A tester works by hand, confirms every finding, and files it as a ticket in your Jira, GitHub, or Linear. Critical issues reach you within 24 hours. Instead of a yearly snapshot, you get testing that moves at your product's speed.
Testing on your release rhythm
Each cycle is scoped from what you shipped, so new code is tested by hand while it is still fresh.
Findings in your own tools
Every issue becomes a ticket in your Jira, GitHub, or Linear, ranked and ready for a developer to pick up.
Manual testing, not just scans
A tester confirms and chains each finding by hand, so you fix real risk instead of a long scanner export.
Our Penetration Testing as a Service Process
From Scoping Call to a Monthly Testing Rhythm in Five Steps
You approve the scope and cadence, see each finding land as a ticket, review fixes, and get a quarterly pack you can hand to customers and auditors.
You tell us your apps, your release cadence, and what triggered the program: a customer security review, an audit, or faster shipping. You get a fixed monthly scope and price. If a one-time test or an automated scan fits you better, we will say so before you sign.
What's Included
What You Get With Pen Testing as a Service
You get a baseline test and a scoped manual cycle every month. Findings land in your own trackers, with external scans between cycles, retests, and a quarterly report pack for customers and auditors.
Compare Options
DeveloperLook vs an Annual Pen Test vs an Automated Scanner
A yearly test gives a deep snapshot, and an automated scanner runs cheaply around the clock. Here is where each fits a team that ships often and where it falls short.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built and supported web products for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Product Teams Run Their Testing Program With Us
A penetration testing as a service program only works if it fits how your team already ships and tracks work. These habits keep it useful every month.
We test what you shipped
Each cycle is scoped from your merged pull requests and release notes. You are not paying to retest the same code month after month.
We live in your trackers
Findings arrive as tickets in your own Jira, GitHub, or Linear, not a portal. Your developers fix them where they already work.
We confirm before we file
Every finding is reproduced by hand before it reaches you. Your team will not spend a sprint chasing a false positive from a scanner.
We flag critical issues fast
A critical finding reaches you within 24 hours, not in the quarterly pack. You decide how urgent it is with real detail in hand.
We tell you when to stop
If a one-time test or an automated scan covers your case, we say so. A monthly program should earn its place every month.
You own every finding
The tickets, proofs, and reports are yours to keep, share with customers, and hand to auditors, during the program and after it ends.

Good fit
SaaS teams shipping every week
You release features weekly, and a yearly pen test cannot keep up with what you have changed since the last one.
Teams facing customer security reviews
Your buyers ask for recent test results, and you want a current report and a summary letter instead of a ten-month-old one.
Startups preparing for SOC 2
You need a repeatable testing cadence and evidence for auditors, not a single test that is stale by audit time.
Teams tired of portal findings
Your last results are stuck in a vendor portal, and you want issues as tickets your developers can pick up where they already work.
MSPs testing client products
You manage several client environments and want one partner to run scoped monthly testing under clear rules for each.
Not a fit
One app, one time
You need a single deep test of one app for a specific deadline, not a program. Our Web Application Penetration Testing Services page is the better fit.
Scans without a tester
You only want automated scanning on a schedule with no manual testing. Our Vulnerability Scanning Services page covers that for less.
A five-person shop
You run a small business with a simple website and no product team. Our Penetration Testing for Small Business page is sized for you.
Budget under $950
Your budget is under $950 a month, or the work is truly one time. A single scoped test or an audit is a better spend.

Programs start at $950 per month for one app with a quarterly manual cycle and monthly scans. Monthly manual cycles with API testing and 24-hour alerts run $1,750 per month. A program with cloud checks and a quarterly report pack starts at $2,450 per month. Our PTaaS pricing is fixed after a free scoping call.
The baseline test starts within a week of kickoff and runs over one to two weeks. After that, a scoped manual cycle runs every month, and external scans run between cycles. Critical findings reach you within 24 hours of discovery, so you are not left waiting a full month to hear about real risk.
It is a subscription that runs authorized, hands-on security testing on a regular cycle instead of once a year. You will also see it called pen testing as a service, pentest as a service, pentesting as a service, or pen test as a service. All name the same model: testers check your app on a rhythm, so new code is tested soon after it ships.
Each month we scope the cycle from what you shipped: merged pull requests, new endpoints, and changed flows. A tester works through logins, roles, injection, and business logic by hand, then files each finding as a ticket in your tracker. We retest fixes the same cycle, and every quarter you get a report pack with trends and open risk.
Automated testing is a useful layer, but it cannot prove business logic flaws or chain small issues the way an attacker does. We run scheduled scans between cycles and confirm every real finding by hand. If you only want scans with no manual work, our Vulnerability Scanning Services page is a cheaper fit.
We read your release activity: merged pull requests, release notes, and new or changed endpoints. Recently changed code is tested first, since that is where fresh bugs live, and we rotate deeper tests of stable areas across cycles. You approve the scope before each cycle starts.
Look past the dashboard: ask whether findings are confirmed by hand, whether they land in your own trackers, and whether retests are included. Many PTaaS companies run scans and hand you a portal login. We confirm each finding, file it where your team works, and retest every fix.
Yes. We run scoped monthly cycles per client product under your brand and report through your account team. Each environment gets its own written authorization and scope. Some PTaaS vendors treat all clients as one queue, but we keep each engagement and its evidence separate.
Yes. We retest every fix against its original proof and close the ticket only when the issue is gone. Each quarter you get a report pack with trends, open risk, and a customer-facing summary letter. That pack is built for the security questionnaires your buyers send and for SOC 2 or similar audits.
You do. Findings live as tickets in your own Jira, GitHub, or Linear, and the quarterly packs are yours to keep and share. There is no portal to lose access to when the program ends. You keep every proof, ticket, and report from the whole engagement, and can reuse them in your next security review.
