Incenter · PTaaS

A pen test, on demand.

Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) is a point-in-time assessment run by Incenter: automated penetration testing across your scope, with senior operators taking over the complex paths the system flags. No new vendor to onboard, no six-week wait.

Automation + expert judgment

The reach of automation. The read of an expert.

The platform runs every technique against every asset, end to end. It doesn’t get bored on day nine, and it doesn’t skip the awkward subnet. That frees a senior operator to spend their judgment only where it counts: the chained path, the odd result, the call a machine can’t make. Automated, never unattended.

The operator — where expert judgment goes
The automation — every asset, every technique, end to endEvery finding validated

And it compounds. Every path an operator chains by hand feeds back into the platform, so the next run catches more of it on its own. The automation gets sharper with every engagement, and the operator moves up to the next hard problem. Most pen testing is only as good as the day you bought it. This one improves between runs.

How it runs

Automated attack. Human judgment where it counts.

01

Scope it yourself

Rough out what gets tested (assets, environment, depth) with the scope builder, or in one short call. No drawn-out sales cycle either way.

02

Incenter runs the attack

Automated penetration testing across everything in scope: the same techniques an attacker would try, run systematically.

03

Humans take the hard paths

When the system flags something complex, like a chained path or an odd trust boundary, a senior operator picks it up by hand. It’s the same automation-and-operator loop the continuous platform runs, scoped to one engagement.

04

Findings land validated, live

Every finding is proven exploitable before you see it, and lands in the platform as it’s found. Not in a PDF six weeks later.

Applications

Speed is where security gets skipped. The flaws that matter live in how the app behaves, not the code a scanner reads.

Key challenges
  • Complexity third-party services, libraries and APIs that are hard to monitor
  • Rapid development release pressure leads to skipped testing and undetected flaws
  • Insecure code injection, XSS and other unsafe patterns
  • Configuration flaws improper settings and sensitive-data exposure
  • Third-party components supply-chain risk from outdated dependencies
  • Session & client security poor session handling risks credential theft
What we look for
  • Broken access control IDOR, vertical and horizontal privilege escalation, forced browsing, missing function-level checks
  • Injection SQL, NoSQL, command, LDAP and template injection, plus reflected, stored and DOM-based XSS
  • Authentication & sessions credential stuffing, weak or bypassable MFA, session fixation, JWT and reset-token flaws
  • Business-logic abuse workflow bypass, race conditions, price and quantity manipulation — features misused exactly as built
  • Server-side flaws SSRF, insecure deserialization, file-upload and path traversal
  • Crypto & data exposure weak storage and transport, secrets in code, sensitive data leaked in responses
  • API layer broken object- and property-level authorization, mass assignment, excessive data exposure
We cover the full OWASP Top 10 and API Security Top 10 as a baseline, then go deeper with ASVS and manual testing for the chained and business-logic flaws a checklist never reaches.

Networks

Every device, cloud link and remote-access path is another way in. Once inside, the question is how far an attacker can move.

Key challenges
  • Increasing complexity more devices, cloud and remote access widen the surface
  • Evolving threats ransomware, phishing and APTs adapt to bypass defences
  • Insider threats malicious and negligent internal actors
  • Compliance pressure GDPR, HIPAA and PCI DSS obligations
  • Resource constraints budget and expertise gaps
  • Patch management delays leave systems exposed
What we look for
  • External perimeter exposed services, misconfigurations and internet-facing assets you forgot you had
  • Authentication weak, default and reused credentials; password spraying and crackable hashes
  • Lateral movement segmentation gaps, trust relationships and the routes from a foothold to the crown jewels
  • Active Directory Kerberoasting, delegation abuse, ACL misconfiguration and escalation paths
  • Service exploitation unpatched software, misconfigured shares and dangerous defaults
  • Detection what your monitoring sees as we move, and what it misses
Run by hand to PTES and NIST SP 800-115 methodology — not a vulnerability scan with a logo on it.

Cloud

Cloud breaches rarely come from one bug. They come from identity, misconfiguration and the trust paths no one mapped.

Key challenges
  • Misconfiguration & change control improper permissions, network settings and undetected changes
  • Identity & access weak auth, over-broad permissions, poor credential lifecycle
  • Shared-responsibility architecture securing data across distributed environments
  • Provider misalignment gaps from unclear roles between you and the provider
  • Shared infrastructure risks from multi-tenant compute and cache
  • Account hijacking credential theft via phishing, fraud or exploitation
What we look for
  • Identity & access over-permissioned roles, assumable-role chains, weak credential lifecycle and escalation paths
  • Misconfiguration public storage, open security groups, disabled logging and insecure defaults
  • Secrets & data exposed keys, tokens and instance metadata, and unencrypted sensitive stores
  • Lateral paths the trust between accounts, services and the workloads inside them
  • Identity provider SSO, OAuth and federation flaws
  • Containers & serverless exposed orchestration, vulnerable images and over-scoped functions
Benchmarked against CIS Foundations and provider best practice, then tested as an attacker would, not as a config audit.

AI / LLM

AI features ship fast and hold real permissions, and they fail in ways traditional testing was never built to catch.

Key challenges
  • Data poisoning & tampering compromised training data skews outcomes
  • Adversarial attacks minimal input changes fool the model
  • Model theft IP extraction via queries or the cloud
  • Insecure APIs improper API security exposes functions and data
  • Scaling security vulnerabilities grow as systems expand
  • Continuous-learning risk online models drift under malicious input
What we look for
  • Prompt injection direct and indirect, including instruction override and data exfiltration
  • Data leakage training-data and system-prompt extraction, and sensitive output
  • Jailbreaks & guardrails bypassing safety controls and content restrictions
  • Tool & agent abuse coercing an agent into unauthorized actions with the tools and permissions it holds
  • Model & supply chain poisoning, model theft and vulnerable components in the pipeline
  • Insecure integration the APIs, plugins and data path behind the model
Tested to the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, against the attacks your model will actually face.
Scope · 05

Identity

Most attacks don’t break in — they log in. Identity is where a single foothold becomes domain-wide, and where one weak trust turns into all of them.

Key challenges
  • Sprawl accounts, roles and service principals across AD, Entra and SaaS, few fully owned
  • Standing privilege over-broad, permanent access that no one revisits
  • Trust relationships federations, delegations and cross-tenant links that widen the blast radius
  • Legacy protocols NTLM, unconstrained delegation and weak Kerberos configuration
  • Non-human identities service accounts, tokens and keys with more power than the people
  • Visibility little insight into who can actually reach what
What we look for
  • Active Directory Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, unconstrained and constrained delegation, ACL and AD CS abuse
  • Entra & cloud IdP conditional-access gaps, consent phishing, token theft and replay, risky app registrations
  • SSO & federation OAuth, SAML and OIDC flaws, trust misconfiguration and cross-tenant escalation
  • Privilege escalation the paths from a standard user to domain or global admin
  • Service & machine identity exposed secrets, over-scoped tokens and credential reuse
  • Detection whether identity abuse shows up in your logs, and where it stays invisible
Mapped with graph-based path analysis and tested by hand, because identity attacks are chains, not single findings.

When you’d use it

Point-in-time, when that’s what you need.

  • A release to clear

    Test a new product, a big change or a migration before it goes live and starts carrying real data.

  • An audit or a customer ask

    A current, independent test for SOC 2, ISO 27001 or PCI-DSS, or a customer who wants proof, not last year’s report.

  • One system that has to hold

    A specific app, API or environment that matters enough to prove on its own.
