Penetration Testing Services

Penetration testing services are authorized, simulated attacks in which qualified testers try to exploit weaknesses in applications, cloud, networks and people, then prove what they reached and how to fix it. Stingrai, a CREST-accredited penetration testing company founded in Toronto in 2021, delivers human-led and hybrid testing across web, API, mobile, AI and LLM, cloud, network, Active Directory and social engineering, one-time or continuous.

Penetration Testing Services by Category

Each service is scoped to the assets in front of you and delivered through Stingrai's PTaaS portal, with findings posted as they are confirmed and retesting included.

How a Stingrai Engagement Runs

The same process applies to every service, from the first quote to the final retest.

  1. Get a Quote

    Submit the Get a Quote form with the scope to be tested and receive pricing within 24 hours, or book a discovery call to review scope first.

  2. Receive and Sign the SOW

    Stingrai sends a fixed quote with a Statement of Work (SOW) that sets out scope, deliverables and timelines. Testing is scheduled once the SOW is signed.

  3. Onboard to the Portal

    The client team is invited to Stingrai's PTaaS portal, which holds the scope, schedule, findings and reports for the engagement.

  4. View Findings as They Are Confirmed

    Each finding is posted to the portal as soon as it is confirmed, with a proof of concept and remediation guidance, so fixing starts during the test. Findings push to Jira, updates reach Slack, and direct chat with the assigned penetration testers answers questions without waiting for the report.

  5. Request Retests

    Once fixes are deployed, a retest is requested from the portal and the status of each finding is updated. Retesting is included.

  6. Customize and Download Your Reports

    Choose the report sections to share, then download a redactable PDF for customers and auditors while sensitive detail stays internal.

What Are Penetration Testing Services?

Penetration testing services are authorized security tests in which qualified testers attack a defined scope, such as a web application, an API, a cloud account or an office network, the way a real adversary would. Unlike a vulnerability scan, a penetration test proves which weaknesses can be exploited, chains them into attack paths and reports each one with evidence, business impact and the fix.

Stingrai is a CREST-accredited penetration testing company founded in Toronto in 2021, with an office in London. Its penetration testers hold OSCE³, OSWE, OSEP, CREST CRT and CISSP certifications across the team and have published 18 CVEs. Snipe, Stingrai's autonomous AI agent, tests web applications and associated APIs, and its specialist sub-agent tests AI and LLM applications alongside penetration testers. Cloud, network, Active Directory, mobile, social engineering and red team engagements are human-led.

Every engagement runs through Stingrai's PTaaS portal: findings arrive as they are confirmed, retesting is included, and the report produces evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA and CMMC programs.

Engagement Models

Every service is available as a one-time engagement or a continuous program. Web applications and associated APIs can also be tested by Snipe alone or by Snipe with penetration testers.

One-time or continuous

  • One-time

    A single assessment for an annual audit, a launch, a customer security review or after a significant change, with the retest included.

  • Continuous

    Testing that repeats through the year as releases ship, with findings posted as they are confirmed and retests on request.

Who performs the testing

  • Autonomous Pentest

    Snipe alone

    Snipe, Stingrai's autonomous AI agent, tests one web application and associated APIs on its own: same-day results, automated retests, AutoFix pull requests and a Pentest Report.

  • Hybrid Pentest

    Snipe with two named penetration testers

    Snipe and two named penetration testers work together throughout the test of one web application and associated APIs, adding manual testing, vulnerability chaining and an attestation letter.

  • Human-led

    Quoted to scope

    Named penetration testers lead the engagement. Mobile, cloud, network, Active Directory, wireless, social engineering, physical and red team engagements are always human-led, with an attestation letter.

  • Enterprise

    Quoted to scope

    The full attack surface in one program, human-led, hybrid or autonomous, one-time or continuous, with executive reporting and a dedicated security concierge.

Published prices for one web application and associated APIs

The Autonomous Pentest is US$3,000 one-time or US$650 per month. The Hybrid Pentest is US$6,800 one-time or US$1,275 per month. These prices cover one web application and associated APIs; every other service is quoted to scope.

How to Choose a Penetration Testing Company

Most penetration testing service providers look alike on a website. These checks separate a provider that proves exploitability from one that resells scanner output.

  • Firm-level accreditation. Check that the company itself holds CREST accreditation, not only individual testers, and confirm it on the accreditation body's register.
  • Named penetration testers. Ask who will test, which certifications they hold (OSCE³, OSWE, OSEP, CREST CRT) and what research they have published.
  • A real sample report. Every finding should carry reproduction steps, evidence, business impact and a fix, not a pasted scanner export.
  • Manual depth where it matters. Broken authorization, IDOR and business logic flaws need testers or agents that work through each user role, not signature matching.
  • Recognized methodology. Testing should map to OWASP, PTES, NIST SP 800-115 or MITRE ATT&CK, with coverage stated in the report.
  • Retesting included. Confirm that fixed findings are retested at no extra cost and that the report records the updated status.
  • Clear scope and price. A fixed quote and a Statement of Work that names the assets, roles, test windows and exclusions before testing starts.
  • Evidence your auditor accepts. A scoped report, retest results and, where needed, an attestation letter to share with customers and auditors.

Stingrai publishes its web application prices, names the penetration testers on every Hybrid and human-led engagement, includes retesting and shares a sample report before any engagement starts.

Compliance Evidence

A Stingrai report and its retest results produce evidence for the programs that ask for penetration testing.

HIPAA Security Rule
Evidence for the risk analysis at 45 CFR 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A) and the periodic technical evaluation at 164.308(a)(8).
CMMC Level 2
Evidence for periodic security control assessment (CA.L2-3.12.1) and vulnerability identification (RA.L2-3.11.2) on systems that handle CUI.
