Penetration Testing as a Service
Annual testing does not match how modern environments change. Canary Trap’s Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS), delivered through the FlightPath Platform, gives your team recurring human-led testing, real-time findings, secure tester communication, and centralized access to every output.
What we test, review, and validate.
We align recurring penetration testing to your environment, release cadence, business priorities, and risk profile so testing keeps pace with change.

Recurring pentest outcomes your team can act on.
PTaaS is only valuable if it improves the way your team finds, fixes, tracks, and proves remediation over time.
Canary Trap’s Penetration Testing as a Service combines senior offensive security testing with the FlightPath Platform, giving your team a secure workspace for communication, findings, artifacts, reports, and ongoing visibility.
Testing should keep up with the systems it is meant to validate.
A point-in-time pentests are useful. It can also become stale quickly when applications, APIs, infrastructure, cloud environments, and release cycles keep changing.
Penetration Testing as a Service gives your team a defensible testing program with recurring validation, real-time visibility, and a central record of findings, reports, remediation activity, and testing outputs.
A repeatable process from scope to recurring validation
Every Penetration Testing as a Service engagement is scoped around your environment, cadence, systems, release patterns, reporting needs, and platform access requirements.
We confirm scope, systems, testing cadence, business priorities, rules of engagement, stakeholders, communication paths, FlightPath access, reporting needs, and success measures.
Testing activities are planned and managed through FlightPath so your team has clear visibility into what is being tested, when activity is happening, and how communication will run.
Canary Trap testers perform human-led testing across the approved scope, which may include applications, APIs, external systems, infrastructure, or targeted deep dives.
Findings are surfaced as they are identified, with secure tester communication and automated notifications through FlightPath.
Your team remediates findings with clear guidance, and Canary Trap retests within the defined engagement model to confirm that risk has been addressed.
PTaaS with senior testers, not just prettier workflow.
A platform can make testing easier to manage. It cannot replace the judgment needed to find and validate real security risk.
Canary Trap combines senior offensive security expertise with FlightPath-enabled delivery so your team gets recurring testing, real-time visibility, secure collaboration, and practical reporting without reducing PTaaS to automated scanning.
Senior-led testing
Testing is led by experienced offensive security professionals, not handed off to junior operators or reduced to tool output.
Human-led validation
Canary Trap focuses on exploitable risk, business logic, access control, chained issues, and attacker-relevant findings that automated tools often miss or misprioritize.
FlightPath-enabled delivery
Scheduling, secure communication, real-time findings, notifications, reports, and artifacts are centralized through the FlightPath Platform.
Recurring cadence
Testing can be aligned to release cycles, major changes, recurring assurance needs, or compliance windows.
Practical reporting
Findings include the technical detail needed for remediation and the business context needed for leadership, compliance, and customer conversations.
Retesting and validation
Retesting helps confirm that remediated findings have actually been addressed, not just marked complete.
Project management
Every engagement includes clear communication, defined expectations, stakeholder alignment, and controlled escalation paths.

PTaaS questions, answered plainly.
Penetration Testing as a Service, or PTaaS, is a recurring penetration testing model that combines human-led offensive security testing with platform-enabled delivery.
Canary Trap delivers PTaaS through FlightPath, giving customers scheduling, secure tester communication, automated notifications, real-time findings, centralized reports, artifacts, remediation visibility, and retesting.
Yes. PTaaS stands for Penetration Testing as a Service. The term is also commonly written as Pentest as a Service.
Canary Trap uses “Penetration Testing as a Service” as the public service name because it is clear, descriptive, and easy for buyers and search engines to understand. PTaaS is used throughout the page as the category shorthand.
A one-time penetration test is performed over a defined testing window and usually ends with a single report.
PTaaS provides recurring testing, platform-enabled communication, real-time findings, retesting, trend visibility, and centralized access to reports and artifacts across testing cycles.
Canary Trap’s PTaaS is delivered through the FlightPath Platform.
FlightPath enables testing scheduling, secure communication with testers, automated notifications for findings, and centralized access to outputs, artifacts, reports, and engagement documentation.
Canary Trap’s Penetration Testing as a Service is human-led. Tools and automation may support the workflow, but they do not replace senior tester judgment.
The value comes from expert validation, exploitation context, business logic testing, prioritization, and remediation guidance.
PTaaS can include recurring testing across applications, APIs, external systems, infrastructure, and targeted deep dives. The exact scope is confirmed during the scoping process.
Findings are delivered through FlightPath as they are identified, with automated notifications and secure communication with testers.
Your team can also receive per-cycle or quarterly reports depending on the agreed engagement model.
Yes. Secure communication with Canary Trap testers is supported through FlightPath so your team can clarify findings, discuss remediation, and reduce back-and-forth outside the platform.
It can. Many organizations use PTaaS as their primary recurring testing program because it supports more frequent validation, faster remediation, and better visibility over time.
Some organizations still pair PTaaS with deeper targeted engagements for major releases, compliance needs, or specific high-risk environments.
Yes. PTaaS reporting can support common compliance, audit, customer assurance, and governance conversations by providing evidence of recurring testing, findings, remediation, and validation.
Specific compliance requirements should be confirmed against your auditor, customer, or framework.
Yes. PTaaS engagements can include targeted deep dives for major releases, new features, high-risk changes, APIs, external systems, or areas that need additional validation.
PTaaS is typically scoped around the environment, testing cadence, systems in scope, depth of testing, reporting needs, and level of platform-enabled support required.
A scoping call is used to confirm the right model.
Scoping typically requires applications, APIs, infrastructure, environments in scope, release cadence, testing priorities, compliance requirements, stakeholder groups, communication needs, and reporting expectations.
Canary Trap also confirms how your team will use FlightPath for scheduling, communication, findings, reports, and artifacts.
Canary Trap provides findings, remediation guidance, retesting within the defined model, and summary reporting where included. Trends and recurring patterns can be used to guide future testing priorities and security improvements.
