AI + Human

Continuoustestingatmachinespeed,validatedbypeople

AI-assisted assessment runs constantly across your estate; qualified consultants triage and validate every finding, so you get coverage without a flood of false positives.

Annual testing leaves eleven months of blind spots. AI-assisted testing closes that gap by continuously probing your applications, APIs, networks and cloud services as they change — catching new exposure within hours of it appearing.

Automation alone is not enough. Unvalidated tooling output creates noise, erodes trust and wastes engineering time. Every AI-generated finding at Pentesys is reviewed, reproduced and risk-rated by a consultant before it reaches your portal.

Continuous test types

What runs against your estate, around the clock

Each test type runs on schedule or on change, with every candidate finding routed to a consultant for validation before it reaches you.

Web Application Testing

Continuous crawling, authenticated testing and payload analysis across your web estate, re-run whenever the application changes.

API Security Testing

REST and GraphQL endpoints tested for broken authorisation, excessive data exposure and injection, driven from your specifications.

External Network Testing

Perimeter services enumerated and probed for weak configuration, exposed management interfaces and exploitable versions.

Cloud Configuration Testing

IAM policies, storage permissions, network rules and logging coverage checked continuously against real-world attack paths.

Change-Triggered Testing

New deployments, DNS changes and newly discovered assets trigger an immediate targeted test rather than waiting for the next cycle.

Known-CVE Exposure Detection

Version and fingerprint data matched against current CVE and exploit intelligence, prioritised by whether exploitation is observed in the wild.

Authentication & Session Testing

Login flows, session handling, password policy and MFA enforcement probed for weaknesses that automation can reliably detect.

Access Control Verification

Horizontal and vertical privilege checks run across roles to surface IDOR and broken access control before users do.

Business Logic Review

Consultant-led testing of workflows, pricing, and multi-step processes that automated tooling cannot reason about.

Human Validation & Exploitation

Every candidate issue reproduced by hand, chained where possible, and rated on real business impact before publication.

Capabilities

What's included in AI Pentesting

Everything below is delivered and tracked through the Mirage Portal.

Always-on coverage

Continuous assessment across web apps, APIs, network services and cloud configuration, triggered by schedule or by change.

AI-assisted discovery

Machine-speed enumeration, fuzzing and pattern recognition surface candidate issues far faster than manual review alone.

Consultant validation

Every candidate finding is reproduced by hand. If it cannot be demonstrated, it does not get reported.

False-positive filtering

Human triage removes noise before it reaches your team, protecting engineering time and trust in the programme.

Business-impact prioritisation

Findings are ranked by realistic impact on your business, not raw scanner severity.

Feeds the wider programme

Continuous output informs pentest scoping, compliance evidence and remediation workflow in the same portal.

How it works

Our delivery process

A consistent, transparent methodology from first conversation to verified remediation.

01
Onboard
Assets, credentials and testing windows are configured, and safe-testing boundaries agreed.
02
Baseline
An initial full pass establishes your current position and clears historical noise.
03
Run continuously
Automated assessment runs on schedule and on change, feeding a validation queue.
04
Validate
Consultants triage the queue daily, discarding false positives and confirming genuine risk.
05
Report and retest
Confirmed findings publish to the portal with guidance, then get verified once remediated.

What you receive

Continuously updated findings feed in the Mirage Portal
Validated, de-duplicated findings with remediation guidance
Alerting into Slack, Teams, Jira or ServiceNow
Monthly trend reporting on exposure and remediation velocity
Evidence trail suitable for compliance and customer assurance

Business outcomes

Coverage between annual tests, not just during them
Dramatically fewer false positives reaching engineering
Faster mean time to remediate through immediate alerting
Continuous assurance evidence for auditors and customers

FAQs

Common questions

Does AI replace your consultants?

No. AI expands coverage and speed; consultants provide judgement, exploitation and validation. Nothing is reported without human confirmation.

Can this replace an annual penetration test?

It complements rather than replaces it. Many clients run continuous AI testing alongside a scheduled deep-dive manual engagement.

How disruptive is continuous testing?

Testing intensity, timing windows and excluded actions are all configurable, so production stability is protected.
