Continuous penetration testing

Continuous testing enables adaptive and dynamic system security validation that can keep up with frequent development, configuration changes, and evolving threats. It ensures that your systems stay at an acceptable level of security without repeated full-scope tests or added overhead.

Continuous testing is available for web and mobile applications and external networks.

How continuous testing works

Continuous testing starts with clear scoping, followed by an initial setup phase. After that, testing continues in cycles that match your development pace and system changes.

Trends and metrics

Track recurring vulnerabilities and see how your security posture improves.

Applicable targets for continuous testing

Applications and products

  • Web applications
  • Mobile applications

Infrastructure and cloud

  • External networks

Other targets, such as devices  and internal networks, can be tested on a project basis.

Why continuous testing improves long-term security

Spot risks early

Identify vulnerabilities before production and avoid costly mistakes.

Keep pace with development

Testing runs at your team’s rhythm – with no unnecessary delays.

Improve collaboration and transparency

An external perspective and clear reporting help teams work together and make informed decisions.

Stay in control of your risks

Track remediation progress consistently and prevent the build-up of security debt.

Built to support your development rhythm

As developers build new features, test cycles provide timely security feedback before production deployment. This synchronized approach evolves over time—beginning with adversarial testing to establish baseline security, then progressing to deeper code-assisted analysis.

What our clients say about continuous testing

"We have been extremely satisfied with continuous security testing. It has pushed us to improve our own practices — it has shaped a new kind of culture where we now respond to every report by actively evaluating what actions each finding requires. Do we need to get everyone hands-on deck if there are serious vulnerabilities, or can it wait without urgent fixes?"

"We regularly audit our security against ISO 27001 and SOC2 requirements. Thanks to Silverskin’s continuous security testing report, the security-related parts always pass smoothly. The auditors have had no comments about the level of security. This makes our work significantly easier!"

Sievo-logo-white

"The benefit of continuous application security testing is exactly in the word continuous. We have ongoing monitoring in place to ensure that the systems going into production are secure. It allows us to catch any coding or configuration errors before they reach the customer."
