Frequently Asked Questions about Continuous Pen Testing
Penetration testing services, also known as pen testing services, assess an organisation’s networks, systems, and applications for security weaknesses. Our penetration testing services safely utilise the same methods as real-world threat actors to identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited; vulnerabilities that could otherwise lead to security breaches. Our CREST-certified penetration testers provide the expert guidance needed to help successfully remediate issues and keep your organisation secure.
Rootshell Security’s Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) provides penetration tests, managed vulnerability scanning (MVS), cyber threat intelligence (CTI), and phishing assessments as part of a combined, continuous security solution.

Yes. We can deploy a remote penetration testing box to your site, which enables our testers to remotely access your organisation from our SOC. Our testers can then carry out Penetration Testing as a Service as though they were on-site.
We use a wide range of established and emerging malicious threat actor techniques to carry out your Penetration Testing as a Service.
A penetration test simulates a real-world attack on your organisation’s network, applications, and systems to identify any weaknesses. A pen test is conducted by skilled consultants, who use the same techniques as real-word hackers; you can think of it as ‘ethical hacking’. On the other hand, vulnerability scanning is carried out using automated tools and solely focuses on identifying vulnerabilities within software.
