Dedicated pentest firms like Packetlabs and Vumetric do solid offensive work, and so does our own partner Lorikeet Security. But a standalone pentest hands you a list of findings and walks away. Someone still has to prioritize, remediate, re-test, and fold it into a real security program. That is the part we own. Here is the honest comparison.
We would rather tell you the truth than win a bad-fit client. Here is when the alternative is genuinely the better choice.
If that is you, a focused pentest shop is a fine choice, and we can recommend good ones. Many teams get the report, then have nobody to act on it, which is the gap we fill.
| traztech | Pentest-only shop | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Strategy, remediation, and the program around the test | A scoped test and a findings report |
| After the report | We prioritize and fix the findings with you | You own remediation, the engagement is over |
| Offensive testing | Run by our partner Lorikeet Security | Their core service, done well |
| Compliance fit | Folded into SOC 2 and your broader program | A standalone deliverable you map yourself |
| Who answers the auditor | We do, the pentest is one input we manage | Not their role |
| Re-testing | Built into the remediation cycle | Often a separate, additional engagement |
A findings report is only valuable if someone fixes what it found. We prioritize by real risk, remediate alongside your engineers, and re-test to confirm the fix held.
Testing is run with our partner Lorikeet Security, an offensive firm with deep hands-on and AI red-team experience. You get the test quality of a specialist shop inside a managed program.
Our founder has six published CVEs. Findings get triaged by someone who finds vulnerabilities for real, not just by severity score, so you fix what actually matters first.
The pentest is one input into SOC 2, your roadmap, and your auditor relationship. We connect it to everything else instead of leaving it as an orphaned PDF.
The offensive testing is run with our partner Lorikeet Security, an offensive-security firm with deep hands-on and AI red-team experience. traztech owns the strategy, scoping, remediation, and the program the test feeds into. One engagement, one relationship, with the specialist doing the specialist work.
You can, and for an independent test of a mature program that may be the right move. The gap is what happens after the report. A pentest-only shop hands you findings and leaves. We prioritize, remediate, re-test, and fold the results into your compliance program.
Yes, because the testing is done by a specialist firm. Lorikeet Security runs the offensive work. The difference is that with traztech the test sits inside a managed program with remediation, instead of being a standalone deliverable.
Yes. If you already have a recent pentest, we will triage the findings, build a remediation plan, fix what matters, and map it into your SOC 2 evidence. You do not have to re-test from scratch unless the report is stale.
Yes. The test is performed by Lorikeet Security as an independent offensive firm, which preserves the independence auditors and customers look for. We manage the relationship and the remediation around it.
That is exactly the case we are built for. We triage it by real exploitability, remediate it with your team, and re-test to confirm. A pentest-only shop would hand you the finding and bill the re-test separately. Remediation is part of our engagement.
Specialist offensive testing through Lorikeet Security, wrapped in strategy, remediation, and a program that an auditor will accept.
