========================================

A cloud-delivered model for penetration testing that provides on-demand, continuous security assessments via a SaaS platform.

SaaSservice modelsecurity

Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) transforms the traditional engagement-based pentesting model into a continuous, subscription-based service. Instead of scheduling quarterly assessments with consultancies, organizations get on-demand access to penetration testing through a web platform.

PTaaS platforms typically provide: a web dashboard for managing targets and viewing results, real-time findings as they're discovered, integration with ticketing systems, and the ability to request retests after remediation. APVISO combines PTaaS delivery with AI-powered testing, enabling teams to run comprehensive pentests whenever they need them.

How APVISO tests for this: APVISO delivers PTaaS with AI at its core. Subscribe to a plan, add your targets, verify ownership, and run pentests on demand or on a schedule. Findings stream to your dashboard in real-time, and you can request retests after fixing issues.
