Source-code scanners review every change.
We exploit your app on every change.
Continuous wires the same reasoning engine behind

Every SAST tool on the market reads your source code and matches it against known bad patterns. Continuous does the opposite: it runs a live exploitation campaign against your running app and validates what an attacker could actually do.
- Input: your source code
- Mechanism: static pattern matching against rule libraries
- Output: alerts about code that looks dangerous
- False positives: 30–60% industry baseline
- Business logic: invisible — no runtime semantics
- Compliance: helpful signal, not audit-grade evidence
- Input: the deployed app + the diff
- Mechanism: real exploitation runs, the same reasoning engine as Assess
- Output: reproducible exploits — requests, responses, payloads
- False positives: low by construction (a proof-of-exploit is the evidence)
- Business logic: in scope — negative-amount transfers, auth bypass, IDOR
- Compliance: CREST-validated evidence on every run
How change-awareness actually works
Not every commit deserves a full pentest. Continuous scopes the run to the diff.

Honest status per integration. Developer preview means some surfaces are live, some are not.

Change management
Evidence output
Noise, blocking, and who unblocks
Continuous is in your deploy path. Here's exactly how it behaves when it finds something — and when it doesn't.
What happens when Continuous finds a real exploit?
Who can override a block?
False positives?
How long does a run take?
Scope controls you actually have
No black box. Configure what runs where.
Route exclusions
Exclude specific paths, query shapes, or subdomains. Your staging /health endpoint doesn't need exploitation on every commit.
Branch scoping
Run Continuous only on main and release branches, or on every feature branch. Your call.
Coverage budget
Set a per-run budget in minutes. Continuous prioritizes the highest-risk surface first and stops when the budget is hit.
Severity gating
Block on Critical and High; report-only on Medium and below. Or any other threshold your risk policy wants.
When Continuous earns its keep
High-velocity engineering
Teams shipping 40× a day can't wait 90 days for a pentest. Continuous covers every deploy between quarterly Assess runs.
PCI DSS 4.0.1 quarterly cadence
The regulation requires quarterly pentest. Traditional consultancies can't deliver at that cadence; Continuous delivers on every change.
Auth & payment flows
Highest-risk code paths — auth, billing, money movement — get the most attention from the coverage-aware scope selection.
Post-incident hardening
After a breach, "show me it can't happen again" is continuous, not quarterly. Every commit produces evidence the exact finding stays closed.
Continuous is in developer preview.
GitHub + Azure DevOps, SARIF + PDF, Slack + email are live.
GitLab, ServiceNow, Jira triggers, and our PLG dashboard are weeks out, not months.
