Penetration testing as a service (PTaaS) replaces the once-a-year test with continuous, expert-led testing that keeps pace with how often you ship. Instead of a single PDF that is out of date a month later, Sumrite tests your web apps, APIs and cloud as they change: new releases and major features are tested as they go out, and your attack surface is tested again on a regular cycle. Findings appear in the Sumrite client portal as soon as a tester has verified them, with severity, evidence, steps to reproduce and fix guidance, and they can be pushed straight into Jira or GitHub so they land in the queue your developers already work from. When a fix ships, you request a retest from the portal and the status updates once it is confirmed. Alongside the application work, the same team reviews the delivery chain that ships your code: CI/CD pipelines, containers, Kubernetes and infrastructure as code. You can still export a formal report at any time for auditors, buyers and SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence.
How is PTaaS different from an annual penetration test?
An annual test is a snapshot of one moment. With PTaaS, testing runs alongside your release cycle, findings arrive as they are verified rather than weeks later in one report, and fixes are retested on request, so your security picture stays current.

What does the Sumrite client portal show?
Every verified finding with its severity, evidence, steps to reproduce and fix guidance, its status from open to retested and closed, the scope of each test cycle, and reports you can download for auditors and buyers.

Does it connect to Jira and GitHub?
Yes. Findings can be sent from the portal to Jira or GitHub as tickets or issues with severity and fix guidance, so they are tracked in the same place as the rest of your engineering work.

Is it still manual testing, or just a scanner?
It is expert-led. Automated checks cover the routine baseline, but every finding is tested by hand and verified before it appears in the portal, and the access-control, business-logic and chained issues that scanners miss are the focus.

Can a PTaaS programme be used as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence?
Yes. You can export a dated report for any test cycle, with scope, findings and retest results, which auditors accept as evidence of regular independent testing.
