Partly fits

PentestPropartial · 65

Automated penetration testing rapidly finds vulnerabilities and produces actionable reports, which helps with post-breach hardening but is focused on periodic external testing rather than continuous managed protection.

Won’t cover: Provides automated penetration testing and reports but does not act as a continuous managed monitoring and remediation service.

Surveilxpartial · 58

Turns an outside-in scan of a domain into an easy-to-read report without internal access, which helps spot configuration issues quickly but doesn't cover endpoint protection or internal detection.

Won’t cover: Performs external-facing scans and plain-language reporting but does not provide internal endpoint protection or continuous monitoring of employee devices.

Deepenginepartial · 55

An affordable automated vulnerability-scanning platform that surfaces many technical findings, useful for technical teams but oriented toward founders and engineers rather than non-technical owners.

Won’t cover: Designed for technical users and requires someone with engineering knowledge to triage and remediate the discovered vulnerabilities.
