C360RED Launches CAIT: Continuous, Human-Assured Penetration Testing From £250 a Month

WOKINGHAM, U.K. - Aug. 17, 2026 - PRLog -- C360RED, a UK-based offensive security company, today announced the launch of CAIT (Continuous Assured Intelligent Testing), a subscription-based penetration testing service that replaces the traditional once-a-year security assessment with continuous, ongoing testing. CAIT is available immediately at cait.c360red.com, priced from £250 per month per application.

Most small and medium-sized businesses currently rely on a single annual penetration test to satisfy compliance requirements and manage cyber risk — a model built for a slower era of software development. With applications now shipping changes weekly or even daily, an annual test can leave organisations working from a security picture that is months out of date almost as soon as it's delivered.

CAIT addresses this by testing applications continuously rather than periodically. Every finding is reviewed by an OSCP-qualified security practitioner before being reported, and subscribers choose their own reporting cadence — daily, weekly, monthly, or annually — with the option to change it at any time. Findings are mapped directly to major compliance frameworks, including ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials Plus, PCI DSS, and NIST CSF.

The launch comes as regulatory frameworks including PCI DSS v4.0, the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), and the NIS2 Directive increasingly push organisations toward continuous security assurance rather than point-in-time compliance. The global market for penetration-testing-as-a-service is forecast to grow more than 22% annually through the remainder of the decade, according to industry analysts — nearly double the growth rate of traditional, point-in-time testing.

Unlike traditional penetration testing engagements, which typically require a scoping call and a custom quote, CAIT is priced transparently and available on a self-serve basis: £250 per month per application, or £2,700 per year with an approximate 10% saving for annual payment.

"Traditional penetration testing gives you a snapshot of one day a year," said Andy James, Managing Director of C360RED. "Everything that happens afterward — every code change, every new integration — goes untested until the next scheduled engagement. CAIT was built to close that gap, without the enterprise price tag that's kept continuous testing out of reach for most SMEs."

CAIT is available now at cait.c360red.com.
