Cobalt vs Compliance-Only Pentesting Providers

Check-box compliance testing, while important, doesn’t give you the depth or quality of information you need to secure your applications and reduce risk. Low-cost, compliance-only pentest providers promise to save you money and get your pentest completed quickly. But what you gain in price and efficiency (testing periods are shorter because of the lack of depth) you lose in quality. What they call a pentest is usually similar to an automated DAST scan with a brief human review. 

In addition to the lack of quality findings, customers often find that these budget PTaaS providers are difficult to work with and don’t care about their experience as a customer. 

Security conscious buyers that value expertise and speed choose Cobalt. Even if you are on a budget, you can still get quality results to improve security and reduce risk, while meeting your compliance requirements.
