Pentest King

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CTO and co-founder of Avatour. We provide a telepresence platform that combines 360° video and real-time communication, enabling remote users to virtually join and collaborate in real-world locations for enhanced transparency and productivity.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Pentest King?

We needed an annual third-party independent penetration test of our platform to improve our overall security posture.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Pentest King provided a manual assessment of the security of our publicly available web application’s functionality, business logic, and vulnerabilities such as those cataloged in the OWASP Top 10. The team provided real-time status updates and a penetration test report. The real-time updates included details of every discovered vulnerability, including an overview, technical description and recommendations on how to fix the vulnerability. The penetration test report was a detailed written summary of the assessment, including an executive summary, key findings, the methodologies followed, and detailed findings. Each finding included an explanation of the systemic cause, risk rating, and detailed remediation steps.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Pentest King.

How did you come to work with Pentest King?

We contacted Pentest King through an outbound email. We chose them because their pricing fit our budget, and they offered good value for the cost.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent less than $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from November–December 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Pentest King reduced our time to fix issues by enabling real-time Slack feedback instead of post-report-only findings. The team also parallelized remediation and testing, eliminating traditional pentest wait cycles. Moreover, Pentest King performed same-engagement retesting, avoiding follow-on engagements or delays. We resolved seven findings 100% during the engagement window. We also produced audit-ready documentation without additional internal effort.

How did Pentest King perform from a project management standpoint?

We primarily communicated through slack and their project portal. Teams when a virtual meeting was needed for clarifications. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were impressed by Pentest King’s thoroughness of test coverage and real-time communication.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The scope of the penetration test was to perform both black-box and grey-box assessments of our external network and web applications. The testers acted as both internal and external attackers with limited knowledge of the underlying systems and applications. The deliverable was a detailed report of the findings, with risk levels, technical details of the vulnerabilities, and recommended remediation steps. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

During the project, they notified us right away if they found any major vulnerabilities, so that we could take remediation steps immediately. Their dashboard provided us ongoing status of their testing and findings with all relevant details, and it enabled us to easily request retests so that we could confirm our remediation. At the end of the project, we were provided with a thorough report that helped us assess our risk posture. As a result of their assessment and retesting, we have been able to improve the overall security of our applications.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The team demonstrated execellent project management throughout. Their proposed testing plan was detailed, and they met the estimated timeline.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their testing was very comprehensive, as they used both manual testing and automated scans. They took the time to understand the publicly available information and intended use of our applications to simulate how an external attacker might try to exploit weaknesses. We also found their retest window of 12 months to be generous, and we expect to make use of it.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Pentest Wizard could have done differently?

No, we were happy with the process and outcomes.

They actually did manual penetration testing that did find some vulnerabilities that we were not aware of.

We got a proper test with very well-documented findings this time, and we're delighted.
