ContinuousPenetrationTesting
Continuous, change-driven security validation aligned with how applications are built, updated, and released.
Service Overview
Continuous Penetration Testing identifies and validates security risks introduced by application changes such as new features, updates, integrations, workflow modifications, and configuration changes.
Rather than retesting the full application at fixed intervals, each change is reviewed in context to understand its effect on behavior, access control, data flows, and integrations. Testing is then performed where it adds value, keeping effort focused on real risk.
From application change to real impact
Changes are assessed in the context of the full system, showing how affected components could be abused, chained, or leveraged to cause unauthorized access, data exposure, or unintended behavior.
Why Teams Use It
Testing is performed when changes are introduced, not delayed.
Only impacted areas are tested, reducing unnecessary effort.
Risks are identified before they are released to production.
Findings are tracked across changes to identify recurring issues.
How the Engagement Works
Continuous Penetration Testing operates as a structured, request-driven model aligned with development activity. Each change is reviewed, assessed, and tested where required to validate security risks before release.

What Triggers Testing
Testing is initiated by meaningful product, platform, and workflow changes that alter risk, trust boundaries, or exploitability.
Delivery Model
Continuous Penetration Testing operates as a change-driven engagement model where testing is initiated based on application changes. The difference between delivery models lies in how requests are handled and how capacity is allocated.
On-Demand
Each request is handled independently, with scoping, approval, and scheduling completed before execution.
Isolated or high-risk changes requiring focused validation
Infrequent releases or low change volume
One-off or project-based security testing
Organizations needing strict control over when testing occurs
Environments where testing is not part of daily development activity
Credit-Based
Requests use pre-approved effort, so testing can proceed without repeated approval or engagement setup.
Teams with regular application changes but not continuous delivery
Organizations wanting faster turnaround without full re-scoping per request
Reducing delays caused by repeated approvals and engagement setup
Managing testing effort across multiple teams, features, or releases
Balancing cost control with predictable and flexible usage
Dedicated
Security testing is delivered with reserved capacity, enabling continuous execution and close alignment with development workflows.
Continuous delivery and fast-paced development environments
High volume of changes across multiple applications or teams
Organizations requiring consistent, real-time security validation
Teams needing direct collaboration with security during development
Long-term AppSec maturity and integration into SDLC
