Penetration testing helps startups identify exploitable security weaknesses in web applications, APIs, mobile apps, AWS environments, and networks before attackers do. It gives engineering teams practical fixes and provides independent evidence for enterprise customer reviews and compliance programs.
Blaze's penetration testing services focus on real attack paths, access controls, tenant isolation, and business logic—not just automated scanning.
Pentesting for startups and scaleups
We love working with early teams. Whether you are launching an MVP, preparing for your first enterprise deal, or scaling an established product, we scope testing around your architecture, priorities, and budget.
Our researchers perform manual testing supported by specialist tools and automated scanners. The team holds certifications including OSCP, OSWE, OSCE, CRTO, and CREST CRT/CCT.
We work with startups across SaaS, fintech, healthtech, biotech, proptech, insurtech, e-commerce, AI, and developer tools. Assessments help you understand technical risks, prioritize remediation, and answer customer security questions with evidence.
Plan testing before major launches, enterprise procurement deadlines, or significant changes to authentication, cloud architecture, and integrations. Ongoing testing frequency should reflect your risks and commitments.

Testing scoped to your product
An assessment can cover:
- SaaS and web applications, including multi-tenant platforms
- API penetration testing (REST, GraphQL, SOAP, gRPC)
- Mobile app pentesting (iOS and Android)
- AWS cloud penetration testing and configuration review
- External and internal networks
- LLM and AI applications, including agents and integrations
Secure code review, Kubernetes and container assessments, and agreed social engineering exercises can complement the engagement where relevant.
Our methodology draws on applicable OWASP Top 10, OWASP ASVS, OWASP API Security Top 10, PTES, and NIST SP 800-115 guidance. Testing is tailored to your technology and threat model.
Assessment effort typically ranges from 5 to 20 person-days, depending on scope. The testing window and report delivery date are agreed before work begins.
Deliverables
You receive:
- Executive summary explaining key risks, attack scenarios, and business impact
- Technical report documenting scope, methodology, validated findings, and reproduction steps
- Severity ratings, remediation priorities, and practical correction guidance
- Signed attestation letter documenting the assessment scope and completion
- Re-test and free fix validation within 45 or 90 days, depending on the selected package
Findings are shared through the Blaze Portal as testing progresses, helping your team track remediation and coordinate with researchers. Final reports are delivered within five business days of assessment completion.
Relevant testing evidence can support SOC 2 and ISO 27001 programs, PCI DSS assessments, and enterprise vendor security reviews where scope and requirements overlap. A pentest does not establish compliance by itself or replace the separate obligations of each framework.
