Why Pentest Retainers Exist

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

How It Works

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.
