Make security testing continuous, visible and easier to manage.

Security testing should not be a once-a-year exercise that leaves teams waiting for the next report. Blacklock provides a continuous approach to vulnerability management and penetration testing as a service.

Security risk does not wait for the next annual test

Applications, infrastructure and software change continually. If security testing only happens occasionally, teams can be left with a gap between what was tested and what is running now.

Blacklock provides a continuous approach to vulnerability management and penetration testing as a service, giving security and development teams a way to scan, manage, collaborate, remediate and retest through one platform.

You need visibility across more assets
Web applications, APIs, infrastructure and software components can each create different testing requirements.

A report is only useful when the right people can understand the issue, act on it and confirm the fix.

Continuous or scheduled scanning can align security work more closely with cloud and agile development.

Scan schedules, historical reports and structured outputs can support compliance conversations, subject to the selected scope.

Reports for the people who need them

Use executive, developer and manual penetration testing reports to support decisions and remediation.

Security testing aligned to recognised frameworks

The supplied material references OWASP, PTES, OSSTMM and CWE-based testing and reporting.

A dedicated security team

The source material references penetration testers and security consultants with extensive experience and industry certifications.

How the process works

1

Gather requirements and onboard the environment, either with assistance or through the selected self-service process.

2

Provide target details and choose the scan frequency, such as daily, weekly or monthly where supported.

3

Initiate a scheduled or on-demand vulnerability scan or penetration test.

4

Receive the relevant reports, remediate findings and retest the affected areas.

5

Integrate the results into the development or service desk workflow where the selected integrations support it.
