We turned penetration testing from a yearly luxury into a continuous utility.

The problem: security testing was built for the few

For two decades, a real penetration test meant a five-figure invoice, a multi-week wait, and a report that was out of date the moment you shipped again. That model priced out exactly the companies attackers target most.

Small and mid-sized businesses are a large share of attack targets, yet only a minority feel prepared to defend themselves — because continuous testing was never affordable. Meanwhile, vulnerability exploitation is now the initial access vector in roughly one in five breaches, up 34% in a single year, according to Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report.

The shift we started: continuous AI penetration testing

AssurePort rebuilt the penetration test as software. AI agents run real exploit chains at machine speed, on demand, as often as you deploy — and the economics that gatekept security fall away. A test that cost $5,000 and took weeks now starts at $49 and returns a proven, prioritized finding in under an hour.

Every finding ships with a working proof of concept and remediation code, mapped to OWASP, CWE and CVE. The model refuses to publish a critical finding it cannot reproduce — so what you get is evidence, not guesswork.

The platform: twelve attack surfaces, one EU-hosted system

One authorized, continuous testing platform covers the surfaces attackers actually reach — each with transparent per-scan pricing, and every scan gated by domain control verification or a signed legal-authority attestation.

It is built and hosted entirely in the European Union — Cloudflare Workers on the EU edge, Fly.io Frankfurt, Cloudflare R2 EU jurisdiction, and the Anthropic EU endpoint. There is no US data leg, and your data never trains our models. Findings map to GDPR, NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS and the EU AI Act — the evidence an auditor or insurer actually asks for.

Who it's for

AssurePort is built for every team that was priced out of continuous security:

• Solo & hobby builders securing a first product.
• Startups shipping fast and proving security to their customers.
• SMBs that need continuous coverage without a dedicated security team.
• Enterprises filling the gap between annual human red-team engagements.

The market and the vision

The tailwind is strong. The penetration testing market sat around $2.7 billion in 2025 and is growing at roughly 15% a year, per Mordor Intelligence, while the average cost of a data breach reached $4.99 million in IBM's 2026 report — and teams using AI and automation saved close to $2 million per breach.

Our thesis is simple: high-cost cybersecurity processes and tests, offered to everyone at innovative, practical and economical prices. The roadmap follows it — from twelve engines today toward twenty-plus, because more coverage means more companies protected. To go deeper on the discipline itself, read our penetration testing guide.
