Pentest-as-a-Service

Pentests
without the agency dance. Eight stages. Client-visible status. Reports that arrive on time.

Most pentest engagements feel like dropping a request into a black box and waiting six weeks. SeverityZero PTaaS gives you an eight-stage workflow with client-visible status at every step — and a readiness score that tells you whether to book the test in the first place.

Readiness Score

Know before
you book.

Pentest readiness is scored 0–100 across critical/high/medium open findings, drift events since last assessment, and pending pentest information. If your readiness is 40, the test is going to find what your scanner already found. If it's 85, the engagement is positioned to surface the things scanners can't.
