The NetSPI Platform

What it does

The NetSPI Platform is a Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) platform that runs pentesting, external attack surface management, and detective control validation against a single validated asset inventory. Its distinguishing mechanism is a staff of more than 350 employed pentesters rather than a freelance marketplace, working alongside AI automation that handles reconnaissance, scanning, and triage so that findings delivered to the customer are manually validated and carry proof of exploitation.

How it works

Customers register assets in a platform inventory that deduplicates records across integrated asset, identity, and vulnerability sources, and testers work engagements against that scope while findings aggregate in near real time with severity, impact analysis, and remediation instructions. Remediation retesting is scheduled from the same interface, and findings route into ticketing systems for developers. External attack surface management adds weekly discovery scans across IP addresses, DNS domains, open ports, and ASNs, look-alike domain monitoring, dark web monitoring, and weekly AWS and Azure configuration reviews. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) service exposes validated vulnerability and engagement data to agentic systems.
