What is a pentest?

A pentest (short for penetration test) is a simulated attack on your app or website. Think of it like hiring a locksmith to try breaking into your own house before a real burglar does. You find the weaknesses first, on your terms.

Why companies do it

• Investors and enterprise clients increasingly ask for proof of security before signing contracts.
• Data breaches are expensive: fines, legal fees, and customer churn add up fast.
• Compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, LGPD, GDPR) require regular security testing.
• Your developers are great at building features, not at thinking like attackers.

What happens without one

The first person to find a vulnerability in your app might be an attacker, not your team. By the time you find out, they may have already accessed customer data, exfiltrated files, or sold the access to someone else.

How Pentesty works

1. You authorize a target (a domain you own or have permission to test).
2. Pentesty runs 10,000+ automated security checks across your app.
3. AI reviews every raw finding to remove false alarms, so you only see real issues.
4. On Enterprise plans, a certified human pentester validates the results.
5. You get a PDF report ready to share with your team, investors, or auditors.
