FAQ

Simple answers to tough questions

What is penetration testing and how does it work?

Penetration testing (pentesting) is a simulated cyberattack used to identify real security vulnerabilities in your applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and systems. Software Secured’s pentesters take an attacker’s approach by mapping your environment, testing authentication and authorization controls, and exploiting weaknesses in a controlled way.

What services does Software Secured offer?

Software Secured provides penetration testing services designed for modern software teams, including web application, API, mobile, cloud, and IoT security testing.

The core offering is Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS), which combines manual testing with a collaborative platform. This includes recurring testing, integrated reporting (Jira, Azure DevOps, Linear), and retesting to validate fixes to help teams continuously improve their security posture as they ship.

What types of companies do you typically work with?

We partner with high-growth organizations that treat security as a competitive advantage. From scaling fintech platforms to established healthcare providers, we support teams that must meet rigorous compliance standards while maintaining a fast-paced, agile environment without sacrificing safety or customer trust.

Can startups benefit from pentesting, or is it only for enterprises?

Yes, startups benefit significantly from penetration testing, especially when selling to enterprise customers or preparing for compliance audits. Software Secured helps startups identify critical vulnerabilities early, strengthen their security posture, and provide credible proof of security to prospects, investors, and auditors. This often accelerates sales cycles and reduces risk as the company scales.

How often should a business perform pentesting?

Pentesting should be performed regularly, not just once per year. Modern development cycles introduce new risks with every release. Regular assessments ensure that new features don't inadvertently open old doors to sophisticated, evolving digital adversaries.

What information do you need to get started?

To begin a penetration test, Software Secured typically requires a defined scope (applications, APIs, or systems), access details (such as test accounts), and an understanding of your goals (compliance, risk reduction, or specific concerns).

Our team works with you to refine the scope and ensure testing focuses on the highest-risk areas of your environment.

Do you provide a sample report?

Yes, Software Secured provides sample penetration testing reports upon request. Reports include detailed vulnerability descriptions, severity ratings, compliance mapping, and step-by-step remediation guidance. Findings are also available through our portal, allowing teams to track, prioritize, and integrate issues directly into their development workflows.

Who are your security experts?

The Software Secured team consists of full-time, North America-based penetration testers with certifications such as OSCP, OSWE, and GWAPT. They include offensive security specialists such as Warren Moynihan, who leads the pentesting team and has 20 years of experience. Our certified professionals bring deep experience in ethical hacking and software development and will act as an extension of your own team, providing the sophisticated perspective required to defend modern, complex architectures.
