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. * * * Seller [Red Sentry](https://www.g2.com/sellers/red-sentry) Discussions [Red Sentry Community](https://www.g2.com/products/red-sentry-2025-07-21/discuss) Languages Supported English Services Offered Penetration Testing, Security Consulting, Compliance Testing, Application Security, Cloud Security Testing Locations Serviced Australia, Canada, Ecuador, Germany, + 7 more Overview by Valentina Flores Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Red Sentry. ### Penetration Testing Starting at $4,200.00 [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/red-sentry-2025-07-21/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Insight Assurance](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Insight Assurance") Insight Assurance 4.9/5(144) ](https://www.g2.com/products/insight-assurance/reviews) [ ![Johanson Group](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Johanson Group") Johanson Group 4.9/5(105) ](https://www.g2.com/products/johanson-group/reviews) [ ![Corsica Technologies](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Corsica Technologies") Corsica Technologies 4.5/5(59) ](https://www.g2.com/products/corsica-technologies/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/red-sentry-2025-07-21/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 19 real user reviews.

CM Callie M. Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/21/2023 "Red Sentry is great for keeping all our companies safe and secure!" 5/5 What do you like best about Red Sentry? Red Sentry handles the pentesting and vulnerability scanning for the portfolio companies in our venture studio, many of which have strict compliance regulations in their different industries (fintech, transportation, and others). They’re so easy to work with, and have found some really critical vulnerabilities that we were able to patch up immediately. For us, having the dedicated project manager is important too, because not all of our stakeholders are technical, so Jacob is able to explain things in simple terms and walk us through the process in a really white-glove way. They also have great easy to understand reports that my engineering and management team love. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Red Sentry? One thing we would like is to have our pentesting results in a platform SaaS format, like their vulnerability scanning. That way, we can see the results from all our projects at once, track over time, etc. But, Red Sentry is building a PTaaS platform right now based on customer feedback, so I’m looking forward to when that launches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Red Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you? Red Sentry helps us constantly monitor our port co's applications security and notifies us when we are at risk by delivering us easy to consume reprots that are shared with development to patch vulnerabilities. They also help keep us compliant 24/7/365 for SOC2. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Validated ReviewerSource: Organic HK Herod K.

SB Shreya B. Cloud Engineer Information Technology and Services Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 5/9/2022 "Exploit severity is handled well thanks to the auto-grading features of Red Sentry for client domain" 4/5 What do you like best about Red Sentry? Red Sentry enables us to create custom rulesets that are comprehensive and doesn't require much tuning to filter out noise & false positives. Its CVE handling is great as we can view which CVEs have matching security notices. This gives me the convenience to sort if a vulnerability has a security notice and find action items for the CVEs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Red Sentry? One downside of Red Sentry is its technical documentation & whitepapers. We track all our client assets & monitor their cloud environments for resource discovery so proper documentation for our reference is essential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Red Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you? Red Sentry effectively solves our vulnerability detection challenges as it provides complete support to patch all our production CVEs within our timeline constraints. Its monthly insight reports help monitor any security issues that might be existing but we aren't aware of them. It provides Auto tag exploits to CVE IDs so that we can efficiently mitigate vulnerabilities &SOC2 concerns for our client's domain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Product Owner 11/17/2021 "Must have tool for the sec-ops toolbox" 5/5 What do you like best about Red Sentry? What I like most about Red Sentry is the dashboard HUD views that give us a prioritized view of how the issues 'should' be triaged. The notifications and alerts we receive via email and slack are also super helpful because they immediately facilitate conversation and action around the issue discovered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Red Sentry? The UI, in some areas of the app, is not the prettiest (but I'd rather have the functionality than looks anyway); but I know their product team is focusing on a UI/UX refresh in the coming months so it's really a moot point. I'm excited to see the new UI! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Red Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you? The value was immediate and the cost to our business was minimal especially considering the more costly alternatives. (Going with another provider, or eventually being exploited for lack of action.)

We're a small financial firm, but because we hold sensitive client data, we have to get regular pentests for compliance.
