How are security teams preparing for AI-driven attacks?
Since ChatGPT's launch in late 2022, the world has seen a 4,151% increase in malicious phishing emails sent. That’s a lot of dodgy emails (and a lot more potential victims).

Round-the-clock testing for real-time protection
-
Catch weaknesses as they emerge
System changes create new dangers daily. Our automated testing discovers these weaknesses continuously, making sure they don’t sit exposed while you wait for your next annual test. -
Real-time attack path alerts
When our system detects an attacker traversing a discovered weakness, you'll know straight away. No more hoping that your defences hold. You'll have early warning systems that actually work. -
Turn chaos into clarity
Our centralised risk tracking system organises every finding by business impact. Monthly expert sessions help you tackle what matters most, transforming overwhelming weakness lists into manageable action plans. -
Validate whenever needed
Wonder if that patch actually worked? Automated testing will verify it on the next scan, or you can easily request manual validation to get it sooner. -
Respond to zero-days in minutes, not weeks
When critical weaknesses hit the headlines, our rapid response testing checks your exposure immediately. While others are scrambling, you'll already know where you stand. -
Scale security without scaling headcount
Get 24/7 penetration testing coverage without building an in-house team. Regular account reviews make sure the service you’re getting evolves alongside your business.
Features

-
Multi-surface protection
Test internal networks, external assets, Kubernetes clusters, and identity systems. From on-premise infrastructure to cloud services, put every potential entry point under constant surveillance.
-
Rapid response
Critical weakness announced? Run targeted tests within hours to validate your exposure and prioritise emergency patching. Our security testing services adapt to the threat landscape in real-time.
-
Expert-curated risk management
Monthly meetings with our technical specialists review your prioritised weakness list and remediation progress, so you get guidance beyond just automated reports.
Why Continuous Pen Testing
Security that evolves as fast as you do
-
Proactive beats reactive, every time
While traditional testing gives you a snapshot, we provide a living view of your security posture. Weaknesses surface in real-time, not months later.
-
Technology powered, human guided
Automation handles the heavy lifting, but our experts curate findings and guide how to respond. This means you get both coverage and context.
-
Built for modern, dynamic environments
Your infrastructure changes constantly, especially in the cloud. Our pen testing adapts automatically, ensuring changes don’t introduce unmonitored risks. Perfect for organisations needing penetration testing services that keep pace with DevOps.
-
SLA-backed reliability
With 99% platform uptime and defined response times for security incidents, you can trust our service to be there when threats emerge.
FAQs
Common questions about continuous penetration testing
How is this different from annual penetration testing?
Annual testing provides point-in-time validation—like a yearly health check. Continuous testing monitors constantly, catching weaknesses as they appear and validating fixes immediately. Think security camera, not the occasional visit from a security guard.
What does "automated" mean for the testing?
Our platform runs attack simulations automatically based on your schedule, but findings are reviewed and prioritised by our experts. You get comprehensive coverage without manual effort, plus human insight where it matters.
How quickly can you test for new weaknesses?
Our rapid response feature can validate your exposure to critical weaknesses within hours of disclosure. When a major exploit drops, you’ll know your status in rapid time.
How often do the automated tests run?
Testing frequency is agreed during implementation based on your needs and environment. We’ll work with you to find the right balance between comprehensive coverage and operational efficiency.
What happens when an attack path is detected?
Each discovered weakness is documented with clear remediation advice and added to your centralised tracking system. You’ll receive reports detailing the findings, their business impact, and exactly how to fix them. (For active threat alerts, ask about our Tripwire service.)
Do we need to manage the testing platform?
No. We handle platform management, updates, and maintenance. Your team focuses on reviewing findings and implementing fixes, not managing testing infrastructure.
What support do we get beyond the automated testing?
Your Radar Task and Risk Log is continuously updated with new findings and remediation progress. Monthly technical meetings review your security posture and remediation priorities. Quarterly business reviews ensure the service aligns with your evolving needs. Plus, our service desk handles any queries within one business day.
Does ISO 27001 require penetration testing?
While ISO 27001 doesn’t explicitly mandate penetration testing, it requires organisations to identify and address weaknesses (as defined in Control A.12.6). Most auditors expect regular security testing as evidence of meeting this requirement. Our continuous penetration testing services provide ongoing compliance evidence, not just annual snapshots.
How much does continuous penetration testing cost?
Pricing depends on your environment size, testing frequency, and technical requirements. Unlike one-off tests, continuous testing spreads costs predictably across the year while providing greater coverage. We’ll create a tailored package that balances great security testing service coverage with your budget.
Are ethical hacking and penetration testing the same?
They’re closely related but not identical. Ethical hacking is a broader term covering various security testing methods, while penetration testing follows specific methodologies to systematically identify and validate weaknesses. Our continuous penetration testing combines automated ethical hacking techniques with structured testing protocols—giving you both creative attack simulation and methodical coverage.
