Red Sentry is a penetration testing and offensive security services solution that helps organizations identify, validate, and remediate real cybersecurity vulnerabilities through expert-led testing.
Red Sentry operates in the cybersecurity and information security services category and is designed for organizations that need to assess the effectiveness of their security controls beyond automated vulnerability scanning. The service is commonly used by security teams, IT leaders, compliance managers, and engineering teams to evaluate applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and internal or external networks.
Penetration testing engagements are performed by experienced ethical hackers who simulate real-world attack scenarios to determine whether vulnerabilities can be exploited in practice. Automation is used to support test execution, coordination, and reporting, while human expertise is responsible for attack logic, validation, and risk assessment. This approach helps organizations distinguish theoretical issues from exploitable security gaps.
Red Sentry is frequently used to support security assurance, third-party risk management, and regulatory or contractual requirements. The service aligns with common security frameworks and standards such as OWASP and NIST and is often used in preparation for or in support of compliance efforts including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and FDA cybersecurity expectations.
The solution is applicable across industries such as SaaS, financial services, healthcare, education, and professional services, particularly for organizations that manage sensitive data or operate in regulated environments.
Key capabilities and characteristics include:
· Human-led penetration testing across web applications, APIs, cloud environments, and networks
· Validation of vulnerabilities through real attack simulation rather than automated scanning alone
· Structured reporting with severity ratings, evidence of exploitation, and remediation guidance
· Support for compliance-driven penetration testing and audit preparation
· A penetration testing as a service (PTaaS) delivery model that standardizes engagement workflows
Red Sentry helps organizations understand their true security exposure, prioritize remediation efforts, and document security testing results for internal stakeholders, customers, and auditors. By focusing on exploitability and real-world risk, the service supports informed decision-making around security investments and risk management.
