Continuous pentest vs annual pentest
Verdict
Rheono wins when you ship often and need current proof after each release — flat continuous coverage with validated PoCs and signed NIS2 / ISO evidence, without reopening a SOW every time.
Side-by-side
| Dimension | Rheono Standing Hunt | Annual / one-off pentest |
|---|---|---|
| Cadence | Growth and above: intensive hunt after each approved release, quieter overwatch between. Starter is one deep hunt a month | Usually once per year (or per release if you rebuy) |
| Pricing model | Growth and above: flat subscription — more hunts do not raise the bill. Starter is one hunt a month | Per engagement quote; retests and follow-ups often extra |
| Evidence | Validated PoCs + signed report with NIS2 / ISO mapping | Depends on firm — often PDF letter from named human tester |
| Self-serve | Yes — Stripe Checkout from published tiers | Usually sales-led scoping and SOW |
| Best fit | Product teams that release continuously and need current evidence | Point-in-time attestation for a fixed window |
Who Rheono is for
Teams that deploy weekly or more, need current security evidence for customers or diligence, and want a standing hunt that re-engages after releases — flat published price, validated PoCs, signed NIS2 / ISO report.
FAQ
- Does continuous replace a named human tester letter?
- If a contract requires a BSI- or CREST-accredited tester, budget that separately. For SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIS2 or DORA, Rheono's signed report goes to your auditor through our GRC partner cSquare GRC.
- What does continuous cost vs rebuying annual tests?
- Rheono publishes flat tiers from €99/month (Starter) and continuous Growth from €499/month. Annual boutique web/API engagements commonly land in the mid four to five figures once, then again next year — see /pentest-cost for market ranges.
