Penetration testing for SaaS companies
that need to pass enterprise security reviews
At some point, a buyer will ask for your penetration test report. What they're really asking is: has anyone actually tried to break into this system? And what did they find? And is it fixed now?
Our team created the Red Team Maturity Model used by Fortune 200 companies — the same pattern recognition that shapes how we scope, prioritize, and report every assessment.
You get reports built for the conversation that follows.
Questions We Hear Before the First Call
The $5K option is almost certainly a scanner dump — CVSS-sorted output, generic remediation, one report, figure it out yourself. We deliver findings prioritized by what we've seen actually get exploited, with output tailored to who's using it: actionable spreadsheets your engineers can pull into sprint planning immediately, a shareable summary that builds buyer confidence instead of raising questions, and a business-oriented overview for leadership when they need it. Free retesting until remediation is confirmed. Clear scoping, minimal disruption, people who are easy to work with.
What platforms include is largely automated assessments — not what enterprise buyers mean when they ask for a penetration test. Their security teams know the difference. A scan checks known vulnerability patterns. A pen test involves manual testing of your application and APIs — authentication flaws, authorization bypasses, business logic issues that scanners don't catch. A scan report won't satisfy that ask, and handing one over as if it does can raise red flags you didn't have before.
We deliver reports tailored to each audience: a shareable summary scoped for buyer security teams and procurement, technical findings your engineers can act on immediately, and a business-oriented overview for leadership. Plus free retesting so you can demonstrate remediation, not just acknowledge findings. The platform scan has its place — it's just not the document you want a CISO reading when your deal is on the line.
Yes. We structure reports to address what auditors specifically look for: scope, methodology, findings, remediation status. We also provide attestation letters and executive summaries formatted for sharing with buyers. We wrote a guide on exactly what auditors want — it's linked on this page.
That's the point. Retesting is included — once you fix the findings, we validate the remediation at no additional cost. And if the findings surface bigger architectural questions, we'll tell you what that means for your program and your buyer conversations. No surprises.
Most engagements run 2-3 weeks from kickoff to final report. If you have a deadline, tell us — we've compressed timelines for clients when needed.
It depends on scope, but most companies spend less on a full engagement than they would at larger firms. Depending on time and coverage, a pen test starts in the low five figures. A deeper or more comprehensive look scales from there based on what you actually need.
We start by understanding what actually matters to your business — the specific systems and data whose compromise would cause real harm.
From there, we build a threat model based on realistic attackers and the paths they'd actually take, using OWASP ASVS as a baseline but going beyond checklist testing. We also look beyond the application itself — an app can pass every OWASP check and still be trivially compromised through its infrastructure, operators, or third-party integrations.
We've been on the other side of the table too, reviewing pen test reports as enterprise buyers. That means we focus on proven, exploitable flaws — not padding reports with missing headers, verbose errors, or outdated SSL configs that aren't realistically exploitable in your environment. The deliverable is a report prioritized by what attackers would actually exploit first, not a CVSS-sorted dump that leaves you guessing where to start.
