RedVeil vs BreachLock

Autonomous Pentesting, Two Different Products

BreachLock helped define the “autonomous penetration testing” category in search. Their platform is a hybrid: agentic validation and certified human testers in one workflow. RedVeil is a single autonomous pentest product. You start it yourself. There is no tester to schedule.

BreachLock Overview

BreachLock sells Attack Surface Management, Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV), and Penetration Testing as a Service on one platform.

How BreachLock Works

• AEV: Agentic AI that runs multi-step attacks. You typically deploy a foothold (Linux host, OVA, or Docker) inside the network.
• PTaaS: CREST-certified human testers. BreachLock says engagements can start in 24 to 48 hours, with audit-ready reporting.
• Hybrid workflow: Autonomous findings and human-certified tests live in the same place. Many buyers still buy the human test for compliance.

BreachLock Strengths

• One vendor for discovery, autonomous validation, and certified pentests.
• Human testers when a framework or a customer requires them.
• Continuous / scheduled programs for larger security teams.

RedVeil Overview

RedVeil is fully autonomous. No foothold appliance to start an external test, and no human tester on the critical path.

How RedVeil Works

• Out of the loop: Define scope, start, agents finish the test.
• Minutes, not a 24–48 hour kickoff: Built for teams that cannot wait on a roster.
• Perimeter $2,995/year: 500 Agent Ops for web and external network testing. Full Coverage adds cloud, mobile, and internal tests.
• Verified findings and Rune: Evidence, reproduction steps, and remediation help for engineers.
• Audit-ready reporting: Mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS. Evidence, not a guaranteed pass.

Key Differences

1. Autonomy vs hybrid

BreachLock is autonomous plus optional (and often required) human PTaaS. RedVeil is autonomous only. If policy demands a named human tester, that is a BreachLock job.

2. Time to start

BreachLock PTaaS is on-demand relative to a consulting firm, typically days. RedVeil starts when you click start.

3. Price

BreachLock is an enterprise platform plus certified-test engagements. RedVeil Perimeter is $2,995 per year.
