Penetration Testing as a Service

Annual penetration tests help with compliance, but they leave long gaps. Trava’s Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) offers ongoing, expert-led testing allowing you to truly secure your rapidly-changing applications.

you’re moving fast. security shouldn’t hold you back.

When your team is scaling quickly, every release feels like a race to deliver value. But security gaps can turn that momentum into a grind:

  • Security testing lags behind rapid release cycles
  • Findings take weeks to be surfaced, slowing remediation and delivery
  • Compliance audits create stress and stall momentum
  • Retesting is limited, leaving you exposed
  • You’re never fully sure you’re protected between pentests

Fast growth doesn’t necessarily mean taking on more security risks. But too often, organizations make that trade-off because there isn’t an alternative.

we’ve been where you are

Scaling comes with pressure from every direction. Deadlines don’t slow down for security testing. Compliance keeps knocking. Threats evolve faster than your release cycles.

We’ve assisted SaaS and tech companies with key challenges:

  • Limited resources
  • Growing compliance demands
  • Gaps between tests

That’s why we built our PTaaS program. This service extends penetration testing into a continuous model that enables you to move forward, securely.

annual pentests are essential but not enough

Most teams run pentests to pass compliance, but compliance isn’t continuous security. Audits happen once a year, so testing often does too. That leaves long gaps where issues go unnoticed:

  • Vulnerabilities sit unaddressed for months
  • Validation takes weeks or gets skipped
  • Audit evidence is refreshed only annually
  • Results don’t fit developer workflows

You pass the audit but spend the rest of the year with potential blind spots that attackers can exploit.

why penetration testing as a service matters

Security That Keeps Up With Your Business

Traditional penetration tests happen once or twice a year. That leaves long gaps where vulnerabilities can go unnoticed, putting your systems and data at risk. Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) transforms security. It offers ongoing testing, useful insights, and easy teamwork with your security team. With PTaaS, you don’t just check boxes—you stay ahead of threats in real time.

If this is a new concept to you, listen to our Director of Penetration Testing break down the basics of PTaaS.

Could we have gotten GDPR without Trava? Maybe. But it would have required lots of figuring things out on my own.

One of our pain points is being able to assess, then mitigate, and then insure risk all in one place.

Given Trava’s expertise, it would be tough to find a CISO with the same combined experience.

I came across Trava, and I liked the fact that it was all one package, because some of the other security companies that I talked to were primarily vCISO organizations only.

While we had all the technical components in place, we realized that we needed additional support to organize and prioritize our audit responses to align with the framework. The Trava team was a great partner for bringing best practice and prioritization expertise.

Trava didn’t just help us achieve compliance with the first audit. They helped us build a strategy to do this every year so that we can grow our mission and keep partnering alongside the clients who place kids with families.

If we didn’t have Trava, the process would’ve been a much longer haul. Their support was instrumental in guiding us through efficiently, ensuring we didn’t get bogged down in complexities. Having a vCISO in our back pocket when needed added invaluable reassurance.

We have not lost a single deal during the security process. The only deal we ever lost due to security was pre-Trava. Trava is helping us earn new enterprise business and renew customers.
