CREST-accreditedPenetration testingioSENTRIX or Outpost24: which should you choose?
It depends on how you want testing delivered. Here is our honest read of who each provider suits, based on what each company publishes.
- You need a pentest report for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS or HIPAA, and want us to work with your auditor until it is accepted.
- You want a fixed price that only changes if the scope does, with every fix retested for free.
- You want more than a yearly pentest: continuous SAST, DAST, SCA, SBOM and attack surface monitoring between tests, from the same team.
- You want ioSENTRIX's own testers on every engagement, including specialist targets like IoT, POS, ICS/OT and AI.
- You mainly need web application, API and mobile app testing in one platform.
- You want internet-facing apps monitored continuously, with fix verification for 12 months.
- You prefer EU-based testers.
