Increase Pen Test Frequency & Asset Coverage; Minimize Risk & Cost
Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) is an innovative approach to penetration testing that combines the thoroughness of manual testing with the efficiency of a cloud-based delivery model. PTaaS offers continuous and on-demand testing, providing real-time insights and integrations. This method improves security by offering scalable, flexible, and frequent testing, which is essential for maintaining robust protection in dynamic and complex IT environments. With detailed reports and real-time results, PTaaS enables organizations to swiftly address vulnerabilities and enhance their security posture.
Conventional Pen Testing is done by consultants and is charged 2K to 3K USD for 1 day of testing. Such costs don’t allow most organizations to increase their pen test frequency or asset coverage.
Traditional pen testing relies heavily on human analysts, making it impossible to scale both in terms of hiring talent as well as paying for the cost.
Automated pentesting tools solve the problems of manual pentesting by some part but still lack depth.
These methods also require management of too many tools while lacking business logic testing too.
Attackers won’t wait for your annual/ bi-annual pentesting report. Traditional pen tests are typically conducted once or twice a year. Attackers take the advantage of the risk window to break in.
Traditional pen testing tools cover only 20% of assets and neglect peripheral assets which Most attacks target and use for initial access and subsequent lateral movement.
FireCompass revolutionizes penetration testing by automating and continuously executing penetration tests across your entire digital infrastructure. It identifies vulnerabilities in real-time, maps out all your digital assets, and simulates sophisticated cyber-attacks to evaluate your defenses. This continuous assessment is crucial for organizations to protect and ensure comprehensive security coverage.
FireCompass continuously probes, captures banners, fingerprints services, and uses advanced algorithms for contextual attribution. It indexes domains, subdomains, IPs, service banners, web app pages, and public code to create a comprehensive attack surface map. FireCompass detects changes in your attack surface for ongoing risk assessment.
FireCompass automates network penetration testing by simulating real-world attacks, evaluating endpoint protection, and identifying vulnerabilities, including malware injection, lateral movement, and privilege escalation.
FireCompass thoroughly maps the attack surface, analyzing entry points and deconstructing architecture and configurations. Utilizes a mix of automated tools and manual reviews, going beyond OWASP Top 10 to address a broad range of issues. Prioritizes vulnerabilities based on exploitation likelihood and business impact, providing precise remediation strategies.
FireCompass harnesses the power of Automated Attacks through meticulously crafted Pentesting Playbooks. These playbooks simulate real-world attack scenarios, leveraging automated tools to emulate the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by malicious actors. Our playbooks are continuously updated to include the latest threat intelligence, ensuring comprehensive coverage of potential vulnerabilities. This allows us to identify weaknesses, validate security controls, and provide actionable insights for remediation, all with minimal human intervention.
FireCompass leverages the MITRE ATTACK framework, it emulates multi-stage attacks across the entire kill chain. This approach provides a deep understanding of how adversaries operate, from initial reconnaissance to the final stages of exploitation. Our automated system tests your defenses against sophisticated, realistic attack sequences, identifying vulnerabilities at each stage. This detailed analysis allows us to offer precise, actionable recommendations, enhancing your organization’s ability to detect, respond to, and mitigate advanced threats effectively.
Effective threat management requires not just detection, but also the ability to prioritize. FireCompass offers real-time prioritization of security alerts, highlighting the most critical issues that need immediate attention. By automatically categorizing threats based on their severity and potential impact, our system helps your security team focus on mitigating the most significant risks first. This targeted approach enhances efficiency, reduces alert fatigue, and strengthens your overall defense strategy.
While automated pentesting covers a broad range of security assessments efficiently, FireCompass recognizes the critical need for deeper manual testing for vulnerabilities that automated tools might miss. Our expert security analysts perform meticulous manual testing to identify complex, context-specific vulnerabilities in your applications’ business logic. This comprehensive approach covers sophisticated attack vectors, which require human intelligence and understanding of business processes, are thoroughly examined and addressed, providing an additional layer of security for your organization’s unique operational needs.
Our platform provides real-time reporting of alerts, so that you are instantly informed about any detected vulnerabilities or suspicious activities.

FireCompass Continuous Automated Pentest enables enterprises to elevate their bi-annual Pentest exercises to a monthly frequency, while simultaneously ensuring 100% of assets are covered in each automated Pentest cycle. It offers 5x the benefits compared to employing additional resources for conducting traditional pen tests monthly. Additionally, the FireCompass Platform features a Continuous Threat Monitoring mode that identifies the most critical risks within 72 hours, significantly reducing the overall exposure window of a critical vulnerability.
Continuous monitoring and penetration testing are beneficial for organizations regardless of their need to comply with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI. These practices can help avoid the substantial penalties associated with breaches by enhancing security, even for entities not subject to specific compliance requirements. Continuous automated penetration testing, in particular, plays a crucial role in maintaining robust security measures.
An Automated Penetration Test attempts to exploit vulnerabilities to prioritize their remediation. In contrast, an Automated Vulnerability Scan merely identifies CVEs and vulnerabilities in an asset, assigning scores based on static CVSS metrics. An Automated Penetration Test also uncovers a series of attack steps, known as attack trees, which may involve CVEs, authentication attacks, web application vulnerabilities, process injection, lateral movements, etc. This approach helps to minimize noise and alert fatigue, and it uncovers new attack paths that vulnerability scanning might miss.
With FireCompass Continuous Automated Pentesting, organizations can expect thorough monthly automated penetration tests covering 100% of assets to identify vulnerabilities. It includes continuous daily monitoring for Critical Vulnerability Exposures (CVEs) with immediate alerts for critical threats. Additionally, users gain access to a comprehensive portal featuring detailed reports, a real-time dashboard, and over 100 tailored attack playbooks designed to address specific vulnerabilities on your attack surface, enhancing your cybersecurity posture significantly.
FireCompass Automated Continuous Pentest is performed monthly on 100% of your assets to uncover recent and new exploitable vulnerabilities. Additionally, the platform features a continuous Day 1 CVE monitoring mode, which identifies and alerts you to newly published CVE exposures within 72 hours.
