With traditional pentesting firms, there is no platform. You send an email with the description of the service, and you get a PDF back. The 'in-between' stays the magic for the consultancy. Cobalt is different - there is transparency throughout the entire process.

Adam Sura

Compared to traditional pen testing, it's a vastly better experience to have a direct Slack channel, as well as a web app for issue tracking… The pen testers were quite thorough, and found more issues than past, traditional pen testers had uncovered in this same project. The fact that retesting is included in the price is the icing on the cake.
