Pentest as a Service (PTaaS)
Predictable costs.
Continuous security testing.
What is PTaaS?
Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) provides organisations with ongoing access to expert penetration testing services through a subscription model. This approach allows businesses to continuously assess and improve their security posture without the need for individual segmented engagements that can lead to unpredictable costs.
With PTaaS, you can schedule regular testing, have continuous monitoring of your organisation’s assets, and benefit from rapid remediation support – ensuring that your organisation stays ahead of emerging threats.
How PTaaS Works
With Exploitr’s Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS), you can choose the frequency and types of penetration tests that best suit your organisation’s needs. Our flexible subscription plans allow you to schedule tests when it best suits your organisation’s requires.
You can choose and allocate a set number of testing days per month, which can be used for various types of our penetration testing and cyber security services as needed. This flexibility allows you to adapt your security testing to relevant business priorities.
Alternatively, our team can work independently to perform penetration testing on a continuous basis without a specified weekly or monthly focus. This will still be within the scope approved by you – but allows our team to simulate the discovery and targeted attacks that you might see from an advanced persistent threat.
Scope once
Our team works with you to define assets, environments, and rules of engagement upfront.
Continuous or Scheduled Delivery
Direct and schedule testing yourself or allow our testers free reign to pursue the highest-risk attack paths.
Immediate Visibility
Findings are delivered as testing happens, not weeks later in a single report.
Track Remediation & Retest
Use our platform to track remediation efforts. Fix issues and have them retested without starting a new engagement.
Extend Your Team
Our consultants act as an extension of your team. We deliver through open communication and transparency at every step.
Ongoing Support
Benefit from ongoing support and consultation from our expert team to enhance your security posture – all included in your plan.
Consultant-led Testing Approach
If you do not define a specific focus, our testers independently prioritise the highest-risk attack paths within your approved scope. This approach frequently uncovers vulnerabilities that form part of a larger attack path, privilege escalation, and business logic flaws that can be missed by checklist-driven tests.
Attack Surface Management with PTaaS
With your PTaaS subscription, you also gain access to the Attack Surface Center platform, which provides a range of attack surface management capabilities to complement your penetration testing services.
Manage your vulnerabilities, assets, and track remediation progress.
- Log, track, and remediate vulnerabilities collaboratively
- Create and assign tasks to your team for easy management
- Create your own internal pentest reports with our built-in editor
- Integrate with the Risk Register to keep your compliance team happy
Is PTaaS Right for You?
A one-off penetration test makes sense for a specific moment, like a compliance deadline, a product launch, a board requirement. PTaaS is built for something different.
Consider PTaaS if any of the following apply:
If you need testing for a single application or a one-time compliance requirement, a standalone engagement is probably the right fit. We offer both, and if you’re unsure which is right for your situation, a short scoping call with us will give you a clear answer.

Pricing structure
With Pentest as a Service, you can choose from the set packages or contact us to discuss if you’d prefer a bespoke package.
Our pricing reflects reserved testing capacity, starting at four testing days per month. This ensures our testers have enough time to go deep, follow real attack paths, and deliver meaningful results rather than superficial coverage.
As you move to higher tiers you receive more testing time at a lower effective rate, without any reduction in tester seniority, testing depth, or reporting quality.
All plans remain fixed-price and all-inclusive. Larger subscriptions benefit from preferential pricing because we can allocate consistent tester availability and reduce scheduling overhead. The difference between tiers is capacity and availability, and not the level of expertise applied.
PTaaS – common questions
A testing day represents up to 8 hours of active manual penetration testing and reporting performed by an experienced tester. Our definition of a testing day focuses on active manual testing and outcomes, not administrative overhead.
Testing time includes:
- Manual testing and exploitation
- Analysis and validation of findings
- Writing findings and remediation guidance
- Coordination with the customer (clarifications, walkthroughs, debriefs)
Testing time does not include:
- Sales or account management
- Excessive internal meetings
- Overhead that does not benefit the customer
Yes. All plans are all-inclusive. There are no additional charges for reporting, retesting, or reasonable clarification.
Pentest as a Service can be used to cover the majority of testing services, including web application penetration testing, external penetration testing, internal network penetration testing, and API pentesting.
Unused days expire at the end of each month. Capacity is reserved exclusively for you, ensuring there is availability when you need it.
Yes. Scope can be adjusted by agreement, and you can upgrade your plan at any time. For any engagement, we do require written authorisation for testing – but we’ll make this as easy as possible as part of our ongoing service.
If you’re subscribed to the Standard or Advanced tiers, you’ll still have access to our consultants who can provide advice and guidance. You’ll also have access to the Attack Surface Center for you to log, track, and remediate vulnerabilities ready for the next testing cycle.
As our services are bespoke to your organisation we can work directly with your development teams to implement an efficient testing process. With Pentest as a Service we work best when our consultants are considered an extension of your team, rather than simply one-off contractors.
An example might be that there is a pre-engagement meeting before a staging or production release on a weekly or monthly basis, and then we start the testing engagement when that is ready.
