Why I Built ModernPentest
After years of securing systems serving 500 million+ users at companies like Huawei and Hiya, I noticed a troubling pattern.
Startups were spending $50,000 on annual pentests that were outdated the moment they finished. Meanwhile, SOC 2 requirements were blocking enterprise deals worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The traditional security model doesn't work for fast-moving teams. You ship new code daily, but your pentest is from six months ago. You need enterprise customers, but you can't afford enterprise security tools.
The solution was clear: continuous, automated pentesting that startups can actually afford. SOC 2-ready reports in under an hour, not weeks. Real vulnerabilities, not thousands of false positives.
ModernPentest is the tool I wish existed when I was advising startups on their security posture. Now it does.
