Sentinel · Compare
How our AI penetration testing compares.
A once‑a‑year manual test is thorough but quickly out of date. A scanner is constant but noisy. Sentinel is built to give you the best of both — continuously.
| Annual manual pentest | Traditional scanner | CentroKey Sentinel | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How often | Once or twice a year | Continuous | Continuous + on‑change |
| Validates exploitability | Yes, by hand | No | Yes, AI‑driven |
| Noise / false positives | Low | High | Low — ranked & validated |
| Fix guidance | In a report | Generic | Specific to your stack |
| Proof of fix | Next year | Re‑scan | On‑demand re‑test |
| New‑threat response | Not until next test | Wait for next scan | Rapid Response within hours |
| Cost | High, per engagement | Low | Predictable monthly |
| Authorised & safe | Yes | Varies | Enforced, non‑destructive |
In short
Continuous, validated, and honest
vs a manual pentest
Sentinel does not replace a human CREST‑style engagement where a scheme demands one — it keeps you tested every day in between, so the annual test is not the only thing standing between you and an attacker.
vs a scanner
A scanner lists what might be wrong. Sentinel validates what actually is, ranks it by real risk, and tells you what to change — so a small team can act without drowning in CVEs.
vs doing nothing
The gap between a vulnerability going public and being exploited is now hours. Continuous, authorised testing means you hear it from us, not from an incident.
See it against your own attack surface.
Add your domain, verify you control it, and get your first scan.
