Continuous Penetration Testing
Testing that runs on your cadence, not your auditor’s.
Marcus, Guard’s orchestrator, plans the engagement and delegates to specialists: credential attacks, web application, cloud, secrets and supply chain, LLM interfaces. Each sub-agent receives only the tool calls its specialization needs. That boundary is enforced in code, not in a prompt. Narrow scope is also why the work holds up. A specialist with five tools makes fewer mistakes than a generalist with fifty.
What is continuous penetration testing?
Offense that runs like a program, not an event.
Point products are inputs. Guard is the outcome.
Agents run the operation. Operators own the result.
The rest of the platform
Start with a domain. See what an adversary would find.
A finding is a claim until something exploits it.
Did anything catch it?
A CVE drops. Guard already knows if it touches you.
Exposure management that proves what is exploitable.

Continuous penetration testing questions
What is continuous penetration testing?
Continuous penetration testing runs offensive security testing on an ongoing cadence instead of as a once-a-year engagement, so new exposures are tested as the environment changes.
How often does Guard test?
You set the cadence, for example weekly against the perimeter, authenticated testing every two weeks, and cloud nightly.
Does continuous penetration testing replace the annual pen test?
No. The annual assessment is included with the subscription, time-boxed to the dates you pick.
How much control do I have over the agents?
You choose the level of involvement: task the orchestrator in chat, Slack, or Teams, zoom into any agent mid-operation, or set a budget and exit criteria and let it run.
How is testing kept in scope?
Authorized targets and exclusions are set before the first tool call, tool boundaries are enforced in code, and every call, result, and hop is logged and exportable.
How can I try Praetorian Guard?
