Free Pentest Contest 2026: Applications Now Open

The Free Pentest Contest is back for 2026 created for teams that need a realistic view of risk in production. We’re accepting applications for a limited number of organizations to receive a professional penetration test at no cost, focused on practical attack paths across SaaS applications, APIs, and internet-facing assets.

  • Professional, manual penetration testing
    Real testing performed by experienced consultants not a lightweight scan. We focus on meaningful attack paths and practical risk.
  • Clear, actionable findings
    Every issue is documented with evidence and remediation guidance so your engineering team can act quickly and effectively.
  • Risk-based prioritization
    Not all vulnerabilities matter equally. We help you understand what’s most likely to be exploited and what reduces risk fastest.
  • Stronger security decision-making
    Use the results to plan remediation sprints, strengthen security controls, and communicate risk clearly to leadership or stakeholders.
  • Confidence ahead of launches and security reviews
    Whether you’re releasing a major feature, onboarding enterprise customers, or tightening controls for internal assurance, an independent assessment adds credibility and clarity.

If you’re a CTO, CISO, security lead, or founder balancing delivery speed with security expectations, this is a chance to validate your exposure, uncover what matters most, and plan remediation based on evidence not assumptions. Spots are limited. Strong, clearly scoped applications are encouraged.
