Test your web applications, APIs, and infrastructure for security weaknesses through CREST-certified manual testing and automated scanning, and align with Singapore's MAS TRM, PDPA, and ISO 27001 requirements. Blacklock's Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) platform fits directly into your DevOps pipeline, backed by CREST, OSCP, OSWE-certified testers.
Every engagement begins with scoping. We work with your team to define the test boundaries, including target URLs, IP ranges, technology stack, authentication requirements, and scan schedules. If you operate complex environments spanning cloud infrastructure and multiple application tiers, we help prioritise assets based on business criticality and regulatory exposure.
Once the scope is confirmed, you configure targets directly in the Blacklock platform: specify your web applications, API endpoints, and external infrastructure, select the attack types you need (in-depth application scanning, port scanning, subdomain enumeration, and more), set the test schedule, and then launch when ready. We will support you throughout the onboarding process.
Blacklock runs application and infrastructure scans using a multi-tool approach—commercial and open-source—to maximise attack surface coverage and reduce false positives. Scans trigger on demand or on schedule. Our proprietary interpretation engine normalises raw output, removes duplicates, and produces prioritised vulnerability records with remediation guidance. Findings flow directly into Vanta, Jira, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or to your ticketing system via our Zapier integration.
CREST-certified penetration testers catch what automated scanning cannot: business logic flaws, broken access controls, and chained attack paths that require human judgment.
Our team brings 30+ years of combined offensive security experience and holds certifications including CREST CRT, CPSA, CISSP, OSCP, OSWE, OSCE, and CEH. The tests are performed from an attacker's perspective using black-box and grey-box methodologies aligned with OWASP and OSSTMM. Every entry and exit point of your application (including parameters, hidden fields, HTTP requests, API calls, authentication flows, and session management) is analysed to uncover weaknesses in both design and implementation.
For infrastructure engagements, our methodology follows PTES and covers over 9,000 security test cases. The goal is to achieve the highest domain privilege possible, demonstrating real-world impact rather than theoretical risk.
Our industry-first Agentic AI vulnerability validation engine allows you to validate and retest the vulnerabilities after they’re remediated. The engine analyses the original finding, selects the appropriate validation and execution technique, executes targeted retesting, and produces an evidence-based verdict confirming whether the fix holds. No manual retest queue. No waiting days for a consultant to verify your patch.
Blacklock delivers three tailored reports per engagement—Executive, Developer, and Full Penetration Test—with clear remediation guidance and developer-ready code fixes to accelerate resolution. A penetration test certificate is delivered after the engagement is completed.
Pentesting in Singapore should not be a once-a-year checkbox. After every manual penetration test is completed, Blacklock continues to run recurring automated vulnerability scans (DAST) on the targets to identify any new vulnerabilities after the penetration test is completed. New vulnerabilities introduced by code changes, configuration drift, or newly disclosed CVEs are caught between formal test cycles.
This continuous scanning model directly supports compliance with MAS TRM's expectation of ongoing vulnerability management, PDPA's requirement for reasonable and up-to-date security arrangements, and the periodic testing cadence expected for PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. Results feed into your remediation workflows, board-level reporting, and audit documentation, keeping your security posture current.

Blacklock is CREST-certified and ISO 27001:2022 compliant. Our penetration testers hold industry-recognised certifications including CREST CRT, CPSA, CISSP, OSCP, OSWE, OSCE, and CEH.
Blacklock's testing methodologies and reporting directly support MAS TRM Guidelines (mandatory for all MAS-regulated financial institutions), PDPA (which expects reasonable security arrangements, including regular testing), PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR. Each engagement produces three tailored reports—Executive, Developer, and Full Penetration Test—designed to satisfy auditors, regulators, and your internal security team.
Traditional penetration testing delivers a point-in-time snapshot. The report is valid on the day it is issued, but your security posture changes with every deployment. Penetration testing as a service provides continuous scanning before and after each manual test, AI-driven retesting when fixes are deployed, and a live dashboard showing your current vulnerability status—not last quarter's. This model is specifically suited to MAS TRM's expectation of ongoing vulnerability management and the PDPA's requirement for up-to-date security measures.
Blacklock covers web applications (authenticated and unauthenticated), REST APIs, external and internal infrastructure, cloud-hosted environments, and software supply chains via SBOM scanning. Testing can be scoped to match your regulatory obligations, such as internet-facing systems for MAS TRM compliance, or personal-data-handling systems for PDPA.
Duration depends on the size and complexity of the target. A standard web application test typically takes between one day and two weeks. Infrastructure engagements may vary based on the number of hosts and network complexity. Vulnerability scanning runs continuously regardless of whether a manual test is in progress.
Absolutely. Many Singapore customers begin with our vulnerability scanning subscription to establish continuous visibility, then add manual penetration testing to meet compliance requirements or security maturity demands. The platform supports this land-and-expand approach by design. All services share one dashboard, one set of integrations, and unified reporting.
Yes. API penetration testing is included as part of web application penetration testing, since modern application functionality is predominantly served via API endpoints. Our testers assess REST API authentication, authorisation, input validation, rate limiting, and data exposure, which is critical for fintech, SaaS, and any organisation where APIs handle sensitive data or financial transactions.
