RedSOC: On-Demand Pentesting by Ethical Hackers

RedSOC is on-demand pentesting (PTaaS): you request a test when you need one, for example after a release or when your scanner flags something.

35 services in one engagement model. Ethical hackers validate every finding, with an audit-ready report and a retest.

RedSOC: on-demand pentestingHow it works

From request to retest

  1. 1You request a testAfter a release, a change or an alert from your scanner
  2. 2An ethical hacker testsEvery finding is validated by hand
  3. 3You follow everything in the dashboardWith priorities and an audit-ready report
  4. 4After your fix comes the retestYou get confirmation that the flaw is closed

What RedSOC does

On-demand Pentesting

Launch a human-led security test as soon as a new asset, feature or change goes live. No procurement cycle, no fixed yearly slot, just direct access to ethical hackers when it matters.

Manual Validation of Tool Findings

Already running a scanner, ASV platform or AI pentesting tool? Send us the findings. Our hackers verify what is truly exploitable in your environment, filter false positives and tell you what to fix first.

Compliance-Grade Reporting

Every engagement produces an audit-ready report with a named lead tester, scope, methodology, findings, and remediation guidance. Direct evidence for NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA, and customer security questionnaires.

Webapp, API and Business Logic Testing

Automated platforms find known patterns. Our hackers find broken authorisation, IDOR, race conditions, payment-flow manipulation, and chained-logic flaws that no tool surfaces. This is where most real breaches start.

Social Engineering and Red Team

The human attack surface is invisible to scanners. Phishing, vishing, physical intrusion, full red team scenarios with assumed breach. Available on-demand from the same platform.

35 Services, One Engagement Model

Pentesting, social engineering, red team, awareness, and more. 35 services through one engagement model. Request through RedSOC and a senior ethical hacker picks it up.

4. Report and retest

An audit-ready report with a named lead tester.

When customers reach for RedSOC

After a major change goes live

New product release, infrastructure migration, vendor onboarding, M&A integration. The annual pentest cycle does not keep pace with the pace of change. RedSOC tests within days of the change, not months later.

When automated tools flag findings

Your scanner, ASV platform, or AI pentesting tool reports vulnerabilities. Are they real? Are they exploitable in your context? Which one matters first? Our hackers validate manually, so you do not chase scanner ghosts.

To prove effectiveness for NIS2 and ISO 27001

Regulators and auditors expect proportional, documented, repeatable testing of critical systems. RedSOC delivers signed, audit-grade reports per engagement, mapped directly to control requirements.

When something does not feel right

A suspicious login, an unexpected exposure, a third-party report, a customer questionnaire. Spin up a focused test instead of waiting for the next scheduled audit cycle.

Frequently asked questions

RedSOC is on-demand pentesting: a team of ethical hackers you call in whenever you want to test. A SOC monitors and raises alerts, RedSOC tests and proves what can really be exploited in your environment. That is why it works well next to an existing SOC, MDR or scanner.

Automated platforms and AI pentesting tools are strong at scale, repetition and re-testing. RedSOC adds ethical hackers who decide what can really be exploited in your context and how serious it is, and who deliver the signed report. It complements your tools, it does not replace them.

Yes, this is one of the most common reasons customers engage with RedSOC. Many already use AI pentesting, DAST, or adversarial validation tooling. RedSOC adds manual validation, deeper web app and API testing, social engineering, and compliance-grade reporting that those tools do not provide.

Both frameworks require proportional, documented testing of security measures' effectiveness. RedSOC delivers per-engagement, audit-grade reports with a named lead tester, scope, methodology, findings, and evidence of remediation. Tests can be triggered by change events, by audit cycles, or to validate findings from other tools, mapping directly to NIS2 article 21 and ISO 27001 controls A.8.8 and A.8.29.

A traditional penetration test is a point-in-time assessment: one engagement, fixed scope, fixed schedule. RedSOC works on demand. You request a test when something changes, when a tool flags a finding, or when an audit requires proof. The execution is identical: manually performed and validated by senior ethical hackers, accelerated by our AI research framework. But the timing and accessibility are fundamentally different. No long procurement cycles, tests start within days.

RedSOC uses a transparent credit model: you only pay for what you use, with no fixed annual contracts. After a short intake you know exactly how many credits a test requires for your environment.

It can, depending on your compliance obligations. For many organisations RedSOC fully replaces the annual pentest; others combine both and use RedSOC for change-driven tests between annual cycles.
