Pentest People are a UK-based security consultancy focusing on bringing the benefits of Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) to all its clients. This innovative approach to security testing combines the benefits of a consultant led penetration test and vulnerability assurance through a technologically advanced GuardNestPortal, providing a living threat system to its clients and benefit through the life of the contract rather than just a single point in time.
