Cybersecurity is a rapidly growing industry with more and more organizations realizing the value of regular pentesting. For many, the pentest process means researching a list of pentest firms, shortlisting options, and then contracting with that firm to deliver results. And, with industry best practices often asking organizations to contract with different pentest firms, that time and investment can be a recurring process every time you need a new pentest. When those pentesters deliver work, it’s often in a unique way, with each having their own processes and delivery methods in place. Organizing and breaking that work down into tasks for dev teams and IT and security teams can be a significant amount of work.
Pentest Hero is a pentest marketplace that aims to make pentesters more accessible to the organizations that need them. That means we provide a stable of vetted pentest firms available on a single platform – and delivering work in the same way across every pentest firm you work with.
What is a Pentest Marketplace?
A pentest marketplace is an online platform connecting organizations with vetted cybersecurity professionals and firms. This streamlines and simplifies the process of finding, hiring, and managing pentesters and ethical hackers. It also means you can simplify the process of looking for experts in specific niches, such as compliance norms.
With Pentest Hero, you also get standardized pentest delivery, with every pentester on our marketplace delivering:
- Findings as tickets that you can directly export to work management platforms like Jira
- Vulnerability management in the pentest portal
- Metrics and insights into Time to Fix, Severity, Assets Impacted, etc.
- Retesting as a norm
- Flat-rate pentest pricing, where you always pay the same rates
- A credit system, so finance can budget for pentesting upfront and devs and security experts can spend credits how they see fit
- Asset management so you can upload assets that require testing and then simply have them tested without having to share data with pentesters every time
