See how Penetration Testing works
Reduce risk in real-time
Penetration tests are often delivered with limited transparency, long wait times, and static results. Our PTaaS delivers instant results and direct access to expert pentesters who are motivated to find elusive flaws.
What is Pentest as a Service (PTaaS)?
Pentest as a Service, or PTaaS, is a SaaS delivery model for managing and orchestrating pentest engagements. Pentests are authorized simulated cyberattacks on an organization’s attack surface, performed by human security experts to find and assess the severity of vulnerabilities. Pentests are time bound, typically two weeks in duration, and driven by a methodology checklist, ending with a detailed report of findings.
How does Pentest as a Service work?
PTaaS solutions provide a means for human pentesters to submit findings in real-time and for customers to consume results, interact with testers, and manage pentest programs on an annual basis. PTaaS, in some cases, also provides access to a community of vetted, background checked ethical hackers for a larger pool of testers with the potential for more diverse perspectives, skills and tactics.

Gain control of your pentesting program
Use the solution to gain visibility and track status across multiple pentest engagements throughout the year. Stay on top of the details for each pentest as they complete.
- Access the dashboard for full visibility. Track testing hours used and remaining. Clone pentests from prior years or similar assets.
- Communicate with pentesters instantly via the portal or Slack for questions, context, clarifications, and more.
- Benefit from HackerOne technical engagement managers who orchestrate testing engagements and ensure that they run smoothly.

Satisfy compliance with an expert-written summary for auditors and executives
You’ll be able to remediate and fix flaws quickly thanks to real-time vulnerability alerts. At the end of the pentest period you’ll receive a final report that includes key recommendations, the assessed scope, tester profiles, vulnerability details, remediation results, and more.
- Access your report from the HackerOne platform anytime after testing wraps up.
- Download a detailed summary report or a high-level attestation— each customized for your needs and audience.

Being able to have issues retested during the same engagement is a game-changer. That’s something that hasn’t been available in the past because traditionally, you didn’t receive the results of a penetration test until after the engagement was over.

HackerOne's approach provides a more realistic testing environment than we’ve had in the past, and that’s a big reason why we chose HackerOne Pentest.

With a normal pentest, you don’t get vulnerability reports until the engagement is over. That’s not ideal, because it means vulnerabilities go unfixed for longer, and you can’t have issues retested without booking a whole new engagement. HackerOne Pentest solved both of these problems for us.
