Think of your client's business as a digital fortress. Online pentesting is like hiring a team of ethical hackers to check every lock, wall, and secret passage for weaknesses before the real bad guys find them. It's a proactive security check that simulates a real-world cyberattack to uncover vulnerabilities that automated software just can't see.
Understanding Online Penetration Testing Services
At its heart, online pentesting is a security assessment done entirely over the internet. This remote approach makes it faster and a whole lot more affordable than traditional on-site testing. That’s a huge win for MSPs, vCISOs, and GRC companies who are always juggling tight budgets and deadlines.
But this isn't about just running a scanner and calling it a day. We focus on a manual pentesting approach, which means our certified professionals think like an attacker. They find complex security flaws that automated tools almost always miss. It’s this human-led process that delivers the deep, meaningful insights you need for a real risk assessment.
This isn't just a technical exercise; it's a critical business requirement. For any company trying to meet strict compliance standards, online pentesting is non-negotiable. It delivers the proof needed to satisfy auditors for frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001.
The demand for this service is exploding. The global penetration testing market is expected to grow significantly, as you can see in this Fortune Business Insights report on penetration testing market growth. This trend signals a massive opportunity for our reseller partners.
For any MSP or vCISO, offering online pentesting is a core part of a modern cybersecurity service. The problem is that the traditional pentesting industry is broken. It is often plagued by inflated prices, weak testing methods, and painfully long turnaround times.
We built our service to fix that. We offer an affordable, fast, and fully manual service designed exclusively for the channel. As your white label pentesting partner, we do the expert work behind the scenes so you can deliver high-quality reports under your own brand. Our team of OSCP, CEH, and CREST certified pentesters gives you the expertise you need without the overhead.
Exploring Different Types Of Online Pentesting
Not all digital fortresses are built the same, so your security testing can't be a one-size-fits-all solution. Think of online pentesting like a specialized toolbox. You have to pick the right tool for the job to find every possible weakness. For any MSP or vCISO, building a complete testing strategy means covering all the bases.
This isn't just about finding vulnerabilities; it's about addressing every potential attack path. That’s the core of a modern risk assessment and a must-have for hitting tough compliance standards. When you understand the different types of tests, you can paint a complete picture of your client's security posture.
An external network pentesting service is like checking the outer walls of a castle. Our ethical hackers test everything visible to the public internet, like servers and firewalls, to see if they can break in from the outside. This is a critical first step, as it's where most attackers begin.
An internal network pentesting service simulates what happens if an attacker is already inside. This could be a disgruntled employee or someone who stole credentials. Our team checks if they can access sensitive data or gain more privileges, which is crucial for compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and HIPAA.
The demand for both types of testing is huge. The global market for these services continues to grow each year. You can see more penetration testing statistics and market trends on thecyphere.com.
A web application pentesting service focuses on online portals and e-commerce sites. These applications often handle sensitive customer data, making them a top priority for PCI DSS and ISO 27001 requirements. Our testers probe for common but dangerous flaws that automated scanners miss. You can also read our detailed breakdown of the different types of penetration testing.
To help you and your clients figure out where to start, here’s a quick look at the most common online pentesting services we offer. This table gives you a clear roadmap for discussing a comprehensive security plan with your clients, ensuring no stone is left unturned.
By combining these different types of online pentesting, you can offer a truly robust security service. As their trusted reseller partner, you can design a testing plan that secures their entire digital footprint, from the outside in. This strategic approach not only builds stronger defenses but also solidifies your role as their go-to security advisor.
Why Manual Pentesting Beats Automated Scanning
Automated scanning tools are a decent first step, but they’re like a security guard who only checks for unlocked doors. They have a massive blind spot. They can’t pick a lock, notice an open window on the second floor, or trick an employee into letting them inside.
This is where manual pentesting makes all the difference. True security testing requires a human mind. Our OSCP, CEH, and CREST certified pentesters bring creativity, intuition, and an attacker's mindset that software just can't replicate. They don’t just follow a script; they adapt and think through complex attack chains that automated tools are completely blind to.
Automated tools are great at matching known vulnerabilities from a database. They spot outdated software or common misconfigurations, and that's about it. They completely lack context and can't understand how an application is supposed to work, meaning they miss real business risks.
For an MSP or vCISO, explaining this distinction is a powerful way to show value. It’s the difference between a simple checkbox scan and a true risk assessment that delivers meaningful results. A manual test uncovers the vulnerabilities that actually lead to a breach.
A manual pentest isn't just about finding more vulnerabilities; it's about finding the right ones. It prioritizes risks based on actual business impact, helping your clients fix what truly matters for their security and compliance posture.
Our human-led approach to online pentesting consistently finds the critical flaws that scanners overlook. For a deeper dive into why scanners fall short, check out our guide on automated penetration testing software.
Here are a few examples of issues that only a manual test will find:
- Business Logic Flaws: Imagine an e-commerce site where you can apply a discount coupon to an item, then swap it for a more expensive one while keeping the discount. A scanner would never find this, but a human tester will.
- Chained Vulnerabilities: One low-risk flaw might seem harmless. But a skilled pentester can often chain several of these issues together to create a critical-level exploit.
- Privilege Escalation: Automated tools can't figure out if a low-level user account can be manipulated to gain administrator rights. Our pentesters specialize in finding these exact pathways.
As a reseller partner, you can confidently tell your clients you’re giving them a service that goes far beyond what any automated tool can do. This level of affordable, expert-driven testing is essential for meeting tough compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. By partnering with us for white label pentesting, you give your clients a security assessment that truly hardens their defenses.
Grow Your Business With White Label Pentesting
Your brand is everything. As an MSP, vCISO, or GRC company, clients trust you to navigate the messy world of security and compliance. Offering a service as critical as penetration testing is the obvious next move, but building an in-house team is a massive, expensive headache. This is where a partnership changes the game.
White label pentesting lets you sell expert-level security testing under your own brand without having to hire a single pentester. Think of us as your silent, expert team working in the background. We do the heavy lifting, and you deliver a polished, branded report straight to your client.
We are a 100% channel-only company, which means we never compete with our partners. Too many security vendors start out by partnering with MSPs, only to sell directly to your clients a year later. We refuse to be a part of that broken model.
Here’s what our channel-only commitment means for you:
- We Never Compete: We will never sell directly to your clients or try to poach your business. Our success is completely tied to yours.
- You Own the Relationship: You handle all client communication and billing. We’re just an extension of your team.
- Your Brand, Your Service: Every report and deliverable gets your logo. You’re the security expert in your client's eyes.
This isn't just a sales pitch; it's our entire business model.

Choosing a white label partner is a strategic move to grow your business the smart way.
Meet Compliance With Affordable Pentesting
For many of your clients, compliance isn't just a nice-to-have—it's what keeps them in business. Frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 often make penetration testing a mandatory security control. This puts you, their trusted MSP or vCISO, in a tough spot. You have to deliver, but the traditional pentesting industry is broken.
The old-school model is bogged down by sky-high prices and painfully slow turnaround times. We have all seen a client get a quote that blows their security budget out of the water, followed by a months-long wait for the final report. This turns a critical security check into a major business roadblock.
We built our entire model to fix this problem. Our goal is simple: make compliance-driven online pentesting fast, affordable, and straightforward for our reseller partners. We got rid of the unnecessary overhead that inflates costs and stretches out timelines. Instead of taking months, our streamlined approach gets comprehensive results into your hands in weeks.
But our focus on speed doesn't mean we cut corners. Every engagement is a manual pentesting project led by certified experts. Our team holds top-tier certifications like OSCP, CEH, and CREST, ensuring the testing is thorough enough to uncover the real-world vulnerabilities that automated scanners always miss. This is the level of detail auditors expect and what a proper risk assessment demands.
Achieving strong security and meeting compliance benchmarks, like getting a SOC 2 Type II certification, is what drives the need for online pentesting. Our service makes these goals achievable for your clients without the usual headaches.
As an MSP or vCISO, a client's compliance requirement is your opportunity to shine. By offering our white label pentesting service, you can turn their stressful audit prep into a simple, profitable engagement for your business.

You become the hero who solved their compliance problem quickly and cost-effectively.
This partnership transforms a complex requirement into a straightforward revenue stream. No more referring clients to expensive third parties and losing business. You get to add a high-demand service that perfectly complements the security stack you already offer. Our model is purpose-built to support you.
Choosing The Right Online Pentesting Partner
Picking a partner for online pentesting is a huge decision that reflects directly on your business. You're not just buying a report; you're trusting another company with your client relationships. For an MSP or vCISO, getting this wrong can burn the trust you've worked so hard to build.
The right choice means you have to cut through the sales fluff and ask the hard questions. You need a partner who understands the channel, respects your position as the trusted advisor, and delivers solid results every time. It's about finding a team of pros who make your job easier, not one that creates more problems.
Here are the absolute must-haves when looking for a partner:
- Verifiable Certifications: The people doing the work need to have top-tier certifications. Look for pentesters with credentials like OSCP, CEH, and CREST. These are the gold standards that prove someone has serious manual pentesting skills.
- A Commitment to Manual Testing: Automated scanners are not a substitute for a human expert. A real penetration testing service is built on manual techniques that find complex flaws software will always miss.
- Fast Report Turnaround: The old way of waiting months for a report is dead. A good partner gets you a comprehensive report in weeks, not months, which is critical for compliance deadlines.
- Affordable and Transparent Pricing: Your partner needs a clear, affordable pricing model designed for a reseller. This is the only way you can build profitable services without surprise costs.
The most important question to ask any potential partner is, "Do you sell directly to end-users?" If the answer is anything other than a firm "no," you need to walk away. A true partner operates on a 100% channel-only model. This is the only way to know they are invested in your success, not just using you to get leads.
We built our entire business around these principles. Our team of certified experts delivers fast, affordable, manual pentesting exclusively for our channel partners. We provide the expertise you need to satisfy compliance requirements for SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS and conduct a meaningful risk assessment, all while keeping your brand front and center.
