Solution

Continuous penetration testing

Move beyond the annual pen test. Continuously and safely validate what an attacker could actually exploit across your external assets — all year round.

Definition

Why once a year isn’t enough

Traditional penetration testing is a point-in-time snapshot — valuable, but out of date the moment your environment changes, which is constantly. Continuous penetration testing uses automation and machine intelligence to safely emulate attacker techniques against your external assets on an ongoing basis, validating which vulnerabilities are genuinely exploitable. The result is continuous, evidence-based assurance instead of a report that ages the day it lands.

Validation, not just detection: a scanner says a flaw might exist. Continuous pen testing confirms whether it can actually be exploited — cutting false positives and wasted effort.

Why it matters

Your environment changes faster than annual tests

New assets, code and configurations appear weekly, each a potential new weakness. Continuous testing dramatically widens coverage between manual engagements, so exploitable exposures are caught in days, not at the next yearly assessment.

What we test

Coverage

External infrastructure

Internet-facing servers, services and exposed ports.

Web applications

Exploitable flaws across your public web apps.

APIs

Authentication, authorisation and data-exposure issues.

Authentication

Weak, default and bypassable authentication.

Exploit chains

Combinations of issues that create real impact.

Validated CVEs

Whether disclosed vulnerabilities are truly exploitable.

How it works

01

Discover

Map the external assets in scope, including unknown ones.

02

Test

Safely emulate attacker techniques continuously.

03

Validate

Confirm what is genuinely exploitable, with evidence.

04

Repeat

FAQ

Continuous pen testing FAQ

Does this replace manual penetration testing?

It complements it. Continuous testing provides ongoing validation between engagements, while manual testing remains valuable for deep, creative assessment.

Is it safe to run against production?

Yes. Testing is controlled and designed to be safe against live assets, emulating attacker techniques without disruption.

How is it different from vulnerability scanning?

Scanning identifies potential issues; continuous pen testing validates which are genuinely exploitable.

How often does it run?

Continuously, so your defences are validated as your environment changes.
