Seriously over-powered SaaS for the price!
We have team members with varying degrees of sec ops experience and security-first principles. Using Red Sentry we’ve been able to level up our entire team by exposing vulnerabilities before they become exploits.
- What I like most about Red Sentry is the dashboard HUD views that give us a prioritized view of how the issues 'should' be triaged
- The notifications and alerts we receive via email and slack are also super helpful because they immediately facilitate conversation and action around the issue discovered
- The UI, in some areas of the app, is not the prettiest (but I'd rather have the functionality than looks anyway); but I know their product team is focusing on a UI/UX refresh in the coming months so it's really a moot point
- I'm excited to see the new UI
Why they chose it
"The value was immediate and the cost to our business was minimal especially considering the more costly alternatives. (Going with another provider, or eventually being exploited for lack of action.)"

Neural Payments thoughts on Red Sentry penetration testing
Our goal was to find a true pen test partner that would help us increase the security posture of our platform, fulfill our compliance and customer requirements, and do so in a time and cost effective manner. Red Sentry has helped us achieve all of those goals.
- Personal service, attention to detail, and quick response times by the Red Sentry account executives and project managers
- Our multiple engagements with Red Sentry have been true collaborative efforts ensuring our goals are achieved, and not just a "sterile" execution of pen test steps simply to check off a box
- I have no serious complaints regarding our multiple engagements with Red Sentry
- The only minor issue I have is regarding their online pen test portal/dashboard
- Although it is good and lightyears better than the traditional method of exchanging scoping/description documents via email, it's not as sophisticated as it can be
- Having spoken to Red Sentry about this I do know the dashboard is always evolving and has multiple updates in the pipeline
Switched From
Poor customer service and diminishing value.
Why they chose it
"Price and efficient engagement methodology."

Red Sentry Review
Verified reviewer
- friendly and helpful customer support; user friendly; intuitive
- provided adequate support to clients and answered questions with professionalism
- Did not necessarily provide us with the security testing that we would have
- hoped for, especially in terms of HIPAA protected information

Perfect for small teams
We've used Red Sentry for our past two pentests and it has been quick and painless. We are a small SaaS company and don't have a team with a lot of extra time, so being able to conduct a pentest simply and with minimal disruption is extremely important. Red Sentry got us all set-up last year and then conducted the pen test this year without our dev team really having to do anything at all aside from confirming information. We really appreciate being able to assure our customers without having to interrupt production!
- Red Sentry is easy to use in meeting our SOC-2 objectives
- They also quickly responded to questions and concerns
- We learned about Red Sentry from Vanta, and now Vanta is adding an AI pentest option for free
- We'd rather not switch, but we might have to if Red Sentry doesn't have a comparably priced option
Why they chose it
"Met our objectives for a pentest in the price range we wanted."

MedWand trusts Red Sentry for all of its security and threat management.
Red Sentry has been pivotal in providing the services MedWand needed in order to ensure our timely and annual SOC compliancy audits.
- The Red Sentry teams are customer focused
- From sales to support, Red Sentry is easy to use and provides excellent security and threat management
- The Cost of Red Sentry simply a value in the industry
- The penetration teams are top notch and provide us with all of our vulnerability and patch management
- I was a little disappointed to hear that the online scanners were going away
- I'm not certain what the latest status is

A trusted partner
Very good. They provided recognized credibility and gave us a clean bill of health on issues we had resolved.
- Helpful people
- Solid pen testing offering
- Red Sentry's approach aligned with industry standards and results are recognized by our customers
Status updates process via portal during the engagement can seem a bit detached, impersonal, even when we needed confirmation on a specific topic

Great help managing a complex, critical area
Red Sentry has helped us get a good handle on cybersecurity threats, in a non-scary way and helps us spend less time on patch management, and giving us comfort that our systems are as secure as possible at any given time.
- Great professional communication, quick responses to questions, no question to small
- Bundling services helps keep costs down which is big help
- The customer portal is well designed, I loved that I could easily add and remove users from my team as needed
- The layout makes it easy to find and track project progress and communications
- They provide a very thorough, easy to understand, detailed report explaining security threats and crucially, providing links and to remediate them
- The executive summary is great for explaining vulnerabilities with C-execs
- I don't like that the password required to open the report expires (is removed from the portal)
- It means I have to make a note
- It should always be accessible in the portal as a one-stop-shop

Red Sentry - affordable and excellent
My experience with RedSentry his improved every year. They deliver detailed PenTest reports that exceed my expectations. During my evaluation of services, RedSentry was the most affordable option and provided the best experience.
- Red Sentry provides a thorough evaluation using modern methods at a more than reasonable price
- I've used Red Sentry for several years now and the experience has always progressively improved
- Their new dashboard is much more efficient and feature rich
- While it provides more details about the progress of your PenTest there is less human communication
- I don't mind this, but some may not like it as much

Comprehensive Testing with Clear Results
We’ve been using Red Sentry for penetration testing, and they’ve provided a strong combination of automated testing and hands-on testing by two dedicated engineers. Their reports are extremely thorough, with detailed documentation of the tests performed, the steps taken, and clear instructions for remediation. The team members we’ve worked with are responsive, communicative, and very helpful. Overall, our experience with Red Sentry has been excellent.
I appreciate the quick coverage the automated testing provides but find the most value out of having to live engineers also testing
- The 90-day timeframe to remediate issues seems really tight for our release process
- Any issues found are new and have to go through the entire lifecycle which for is takes more than 90 days

Straightforward Communication and Comprehensive Testing
Red Sentry is a great organization to work with. They make penetration testing easy with minimal overhead. Simply tell them what you need, and they'll handle it.
- I appreciated their clear and straightforward communication style
- They provided early feedback about difficulties, and their testing was comprehensive
While their required communication platform can be confusing at first, it becomes easy to use once you get familiar with it
