Keeping you ahead of emerging risks

LRQA has partnered with Simbian, a leader in AI security operations, to introduce a continuously available, on-demand AI powered penetration testing capability. It enhances the value of your existing penetration testing programme by providing faster, more frequent technical insight when new risks emerge.

The service brings together LRQA’s trusted human expertise with scalable automation and AI. It is designed to work alongside point-in-time penetration testing, helping organisations strengthen visibility and act sooner on issues that require immediate attention.

Key benefits of AI Based Penetration Testing

Continuous visibility between formal tests

Identify vulnerabilities earlier, reduce blind spots and extend the value of penetration testing activities. Automated execution enables rapid, repeatable testing and fast retesting after remediation. 

Clear, actionable remediation guidance

Material findings are reviewed by LRQA specialists. You receive specific, prioritised guidance on how to address issues, helping reduce remediation effort and time to resolution.

Greater control and confidence across your testing activities

AI assisted penetration testing supports testing around releases, updates and other change activity, giving you clearer insight into risk, remediation and where to focus resources. 

Governance-ready evidence and reporting

Dashboards and evidence exports support frameworks such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2, helping maintain oversight and provide reliable, year-round assurance information.

Consistent, repeatable testing quality

Standardised methodologies deliver more comparable results over time, supporting improved trend analysis and more effective tracking of remediation progress. 

Always evolving

AI Powered Penetration Testing is designed to evolve as both the technology and LRQA’s testing model mature, with enhancements focused on increasing coverage, improving user experience and maintaining strong expert oversight.

How it works 

LRQA’s AI Powered Penetration Testing follows a clear, expert-led operating model. LRQA analysts work with clients to define scope and constraints. AI automates the core penetration testing activities within that agreed scope. LRQA analysts then review and validate results and provide clear guidance to support effective remediation.
