The Challenge

WhyAnnualPenetrationTestsLeaveYouExposedfor364Days

Annual penetration tests were designed for a different era — when applications changed slowly, infrastructure was static, and attackers were patient. Today, organisations ship code daily, spin up new cloud resources hourly, and face adversaries who exploit vulnerabilities within hours of public disclosure. A once-a-year snapshot leaves 364 days of blind spot.

Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) replaces this model with continuous, expert-led security testing that integrates directly into your development and security workflows — delivering real-time findings, validated exploitability, and seamless remediation support throughout the year.

Platform Capabilities

Continuous Security Testing Built for Modern Engineering Environments

Strobes PTaaS combines elite human expertise with an integrated delivery platform — ensuring your security testing keeps pace with your deployment velocity, not an annual calendar event.

Continuous Expert-Led Testing

Replace point-in-time snapshots with year-round penetration testing delivered by certified security researchers. Testing runs continuously as your environment evolves — ensuring new deployments, integrations, and configuration changes are always in scope.

Elite Security Research Network

Access 50+ certified penetration testers and security researchers with specialisations across web application security, API testing, cloud environments, mobile applications, and network infrastructure — matched to your specific testing requirements.

Real-Time Findings Portal

Unlike PDF reports delivered weeks after testing ends, Strobes delivers findings in real time through a secure portal as researchers discover them. Critical vulnerabilities are surfaced within hours, not weeks.

Integrated Remediation Workflows

Every finding is delivered with full exploitation proof-of-concept, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance — routed directly into Jira, GitHub Issues, or your existing ticketing system. Engineering teams receive actionable context, not static documents.

Continuous Retest & Validation

Once a remediation is implemented, researchers validate the fix at no additional cost. Continuous retesting ensures vulnerabilities are fully closed — not just marked as resolved in a ticketing system with no independent verification.

Compliance-Ready Reporting

Generate audit-ready penetration test reports mapped to PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and other compliance frameworks. Detailed evidence packages include scope, methodology, findings, and remediation validation for auditors.

How It Works

The Five Stages of PTaaS with Strobes

A structured, continuous testing programme from initial scoping through ongoing retest validation — designed to integrate with your engineering and security workflows at every stage.

01

Scoping: Define Your Testing Requirements

Work with the Strobes team to define the scope of testing — target applications, APIs, infrastructure components, test types (black box, grey box, white box), and specific business-critical workflows requiring deep validation. Scoping ensures every test hour is focused where risk is highest.

02

Kick-Off: Match with the Right Researchers

Strobes matches your engagement to certified researchers with the right specialisations for your environment — web application experts for complex SPAs, API security specialists for microservices architectures, cloud security researchers for AWS and Azure environments.

03

Testing: Continuous Expert-Led Assessment

Researchers conduct in-depth, manual security testing across your defined scope — going far beyond automated scanning to discover logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, authentication bypasses, and business-logic abuse cases that tools miss entirely.

04

Findings: Real-Time Delivery with Full Context

Vulnerabilities are published to the secure findings portal as they are discovered, with severity ratings, exploitation proof-of-concept, step-by-step reproduction instructions, and detailed remediation guidance. Critical findings trigger immediate notifications to your security team.

05

Retest: Validate Every Remediation

Once your engineering team implements fixes, Strobes researchers independently verify each remediation — confirming the vulnerability is fully closed, checking for regression, and ensuring no new attack paths were introduced by the fix. You receive a signed retest attestation for compliance records.

Key Insight

PenetrationTestingBuiltforthePaceofModernSoftwareDevelopment

Strobes PTaaS was built for a world where applications ship daily and attackers exploit vulnerabilities within hours of their emergence. By embedding continuous, expert-led penetration testing directly into your security programme, Strobes ensures that every significant change to your environment is tested — not just the snapshot that existed when the annual engagement kicked off.

The difference between PTaaS and traditional penetration testing isn't just cadence — it's integration. Strobes PTaaS is designed to work as part of your security operations, not as an external event that generates a report and disappears for 12 months:

  • Real exploitability, not theoretical risk — 90% of critical findings from Strobes PTaaS are confirmed exploitable, reducing wasted engineering effort on non-issues
  • 3x faster time-to-finding — continuous testing surfaces vulnerabilities as code changes, not months after deployment, when the cost to fix is lowest
  • Zero remediation blind spots — independent retest validation confirms every fix is effective before the finding is closed
  • Compliance on autopilot — continuous testing and automated report generation replace the annual compliance scramble with always-ready evidence packages
