No waiting, no last-minute budget chaos.
Exploit Labs Retainers give your organization guaranteed pentesting capacity — available on demand, at predictable costs.
The problem:
Every time a department announces a new app or website, the same story repeats — “we need a pentest before go-live.”
But qualified testers are booked out for weeks. Budgets explode because testing is unplanned. Projects stall or launch untested.
The solution:
A Pentest Retainer reserves capacity with Exploit Labs’ senior team — ensuring availability when you need it most, without painful procurement cycles or budget shocks.
You gain:
✅ Guaranteed testing slots — even at short notice
✅ Simplified ordering & internal approvals
✅ Predictable monthly or yearly cost model
✅ Faster project go-lives with zero compliance delay
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Subscription Setup | Choose a monthly or yearly capacity (hours or credits). Contracts can start from as low as one engagement per quarter. |
| 2. On-Demand Booking | Your teams simply request a test via email or form — we allocate the reserved team instantly. No new paperwork. |
| 3. Flexible Scope | Credits can be used for web, cloud, network, API, mobile, or re-tests. Mix and match as projects evolve. |
| 4. Continuous Reporting | Receive one central portal for scheduling, findings, dashboards, and retests. |
| 5. Renewal & Scale | Adjust up or down annually based on actual usage — no wasted budget. |
