PENETRATION TESTING AS A SERVICE (PTaaS)
Continuous Assurance,
Not Just Another
Pen Test
Annual penetration tests provide a snapshot. Sapphire's Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) delivers continuous assurance.
​
Through ongoing testing, expert-led validation and remediation verification, organisations gain clear visibility of exploitable risk, improved remediation prioritisation and evidence of security improvement over time.
​
Built to support the journey towards Continuous Offensive Security Testing (COST) and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM).
THE JOURNEY TO CONTINUOUS OFFENSIVE SECURITY TESTING
From Pen Testing To Continuous Security Validation
Security isn't static. As environments evolve, so do attack paths. Sapphire PTaaS helps organisations continuously identify, validate and prioritise exploitable risk, providing the foundation for COST and broader CTEM programmes.
PEN TESTING SERVICE
Strengthen Your
Security
Cyber attackers are constantly evolving. Your security defences must evolve faster.
Our penetration testing services help you uncover vulnerabilities before attackers do, giving you clear insight into real-world risk, strengthening your security posture, and supporting regulatory compliance—without disrupting your business.
Why Regular Penetration Testing Matters
Cyber threats evolve constantly, making it increasingly difficult to identify security weaknesses before attackers do. Traditional annual penetration testing provides a snapshot of risk, but modern organisations need ongoing visibility into their security posture.
Sapphire's Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) helps organisations uncover exploitable vulnerabilities across applications, networks, cloud environments and critical business systems. Through a combination of expert-led penetration testing, remediation validation and continuous assurance, we help security teams focus on real-world risk rather than theoretical vulnerabilities.
Move Beyond Point-in-Time Testing
As your attack surface grows, new vulnerabilities emerge every day. Without regular security testing, organisations can struggle to understand whether remedial actions have reduced risk or if critical weaknesses remain exposed.
Our CREST-certified penetration testers simulate real-world attacker techniques to identify weaknesses before they can be exploited, helping organisations improve resilience, support compliance objectives and strengthen cyber security maturity over time.
Designed for Ongoing Security Validation
Whether you require a single penetration test, a managed testing programme or a fully integrated PTaaS solution, Sapphire provides the visibility, validation and expertise needed to make informed security decisions.
Designed as a practical first step towards Continuous Offensive Security Testing (COST) and broader CTEM initiatives, our approach helps organisations continuously measure, validate and improve their security posture.
Identify Exploitable Risk – Move beyond vulnerability lists and understand which weaknesses attackers can genuinely exploit.
Continuous Security Assurance – Gain ongoing visibility of your security posture through regular penetration testing and remediation validation.
Improve Remediation Prioritisation – Focus resources on the vulnerabilities and attack paths that present the greatest business risk.
Application & API Penetration Testing – Secure web applications, APIs and business-critical services against evolving attack techniques.
Network & Cloud Security Testing – Assess internal networks, Active Directory, cloud infrastructure and hybrid environments.
Support Compliance Requirements – Meet security testing requirements for ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, PCI DSS, DORA and other frameworks.
Validate Security Controls – Test the effectiveness of existing security controls against realistic attack scenarios.
Demonstrate Measurable Risk Reduction –Track remediation progress and provide evidence of security improvement over time.

HOW SAPPHIRE PTAAS WORKS:
​
Identify. Validate. Improve.
Sapphire's Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) combines expert-led penetration testing, remediation validation and ongoing assurance to provide visibility of exploitable risk throughout the year.
​
Rather than relying on a single annual penetration test, organisations can continuously assess critical applications, networks and cloud environments, validate remediation efforts and track security improvements over time.
​
Whether delivered on-demand or as a managed service, Sapphire PTaaS helps organisations move beyond point-in-time testing and towards a more proactive approach to cyber risk management.
