The big security-testing platforms start at $15,000 a test and climb into six figures a year. SentryScan is a fully managed service: order a one-off scan or subscribe, and get clear, plain-English results by email or online dashboard — from £149/month. We do all the work; you just read the report.
The leading penetration-testing platforms are excellent — and built for enterprises with enterprise budgets. Everyone else gets priced out of security entirely. That’s the gap SentryScan fills.
Flat monthly plans instead of $15k+ custom quotes. Budget with confidence — no surprise invoices, no sales-led pricing games.
Your results are handled by one trusted provider — never uploaded to a shared multi-tenant cloud or opened up to a global crowd of freelance researchers.
Every finding comes with what it is, why it matters, and exactly how to fix it — in plain English. You don’t need a security team to act on it.
No scoping calls or 24–72 hour scheduling queues. Order a scan and your report is on its way — not weeks later.
Subscribe and we keep watching — scheduled re-scans and monitoring, with an alert the moment something new appears.
Reports map findings to Cyber Essentials, PCI DSS and ISO 27001 controls — helpful evidence for audits and insurers.
We check web apps, servers, TLS certificates, container images and cloud/IaC config — the modern attack surface, not just open ports.
Results however suits you — a plain-English report by email, a private online dashboard, or a posted hard copy.
How we stack up against the leading penetration-testing-as-a-service platforms for a growing business that needs strong, ongoing coverage — not a one-off six-figure engagement.

✦ We’re honest about the line: the big enterprise platforms run deep, human-led penetration tests and red-team engagements a fixed monthly subscription doesn’t replace. SentryScan is the affordable, continuous security baseline most businesses actually need day-to-day — a complement to a periodic deep test, not a one-for-one substitute.
