Startup Stage: First Pentest to SOC 2
Start with a focused engagement covering your customer-facing application and API layer. Use per-test pricing to avoid annual commitments. Produce a compliance-mapped report that serves your first audit and your first enterprise prospect simultaneously. Penetrify's per-test model is designed for this stage.
Growth Stage: Quarterly Testing Programme
Scale to quarterly manual testing supplemented by continuous automated scanning. Add cloud infrastructure to scope. Extend compliance mapping to additional frameworks as your customer base demands (ISO 27001 for European markets, HIPAA for healthcare customers). Track remediation metrics to demonstrate programme maturity.
Enterprise Stage: Continuous Assurance
Layer continuous automated scanning, monthly targeted manual tests, quarterly comprehensive assessments, and annual red team exercises. Integrate testing into CI/CD. Produce multi-framework compliance evidence continuously. Measure programme effectiveness through longitudinal data.
Growing with Your Provider
The right TaaS provider grows with you-supporting a single engagement at startup stage, a quarterly programme at growth stage, and a comprehensive continuous programme at enterprise scale. Penetrify's per-test pricing works at every stage: you scale the cadence and scope as your needs evolve, without renegotiating annual contracts.
The Bottom Line
The best TaaS programme is one that starts small, demonstrates value, and scales with your organisation. Penetrify's per-test model supports this progression naturally-from your first pentest through enterprise-grade continuous assurance.
