OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Stingray Inc.?

We were going through a SOC 2 certification process, and as part of that, we needed a third-party penetration test.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Stingray Inc. provided penetration testing services for us. The team performed external penetration testing on three of our web products. They used their own internal tools and provided a report with recommendations at the end.

What is the team composition?

We had one main point of contact and 2–3 analysts working on the project.

How did you come to work with Stingray Inc.?

I first heard about them through Google. I also went on some Slack forums that I’m a part of to get some reviews from people who had used them before. We had a short discovery phase where we did our own research and then reached out to them to set up a phone call. We also spoke with another vendor to gain a different perspective, but that was essentially it.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them in October 2025; the engagement is now wrapping up.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

The team was very responsive and communicative, and they delivered on time and on budget. We had a Slack channel open with them where we could ask any questions at any time, and they were really good at responding. We also used email and Zoom. Moreover, they had an internal tracking tool that they’d built, which we were able to use to get information about findings as they came up.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were very flexible with our particular requirements in terms of how we set up the testing environments. We had a few unique challenges that we had to work through, and they were really good at working with us on that. Moreover, they were technically proficient in their work.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Their internal tracking tool is new and could still use a bit of work. We uncovered a few bugs with it.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They’re great; I’d recommend them.

A person was assigned to the project who kicked-off the services via a virtual meeting.  The PM created a slack channel to communicate status and findings quickly and efficiently.  They quickly communicated findings during the process and recommended action to address any issues.  This was a huge value-add to me as it allowed for immediate remediation of a finding during the process and proper notation in the final report.

Yes, everything was delivered on-time.  A final report was issued upon completion of the project, however, they communicated everything so clearly during the process we were fully aware of what would be presented in the report.

Really well done here.

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

What stood out the most was their hands-on approach—unlike many providers that rely heavily on automated tools, Stingrai conducts extensive manual testing. This allowed them to discover vulnerabilities that others missed for years. In addition, their team is incredibly professional, punctual, and pleasant to work with. The communication and reporting were clear and insightful throughout the engagement.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Stingrai Inc. could have done differently?

Honestly, there’s very little to critique. If anything, the depth of their manual testing meant the process took slightly longer than more automated providers—but the results were absolutely worth the time investment.
