NIS2 asks for evidence of effectiveness

Tracer · Continuous security assurance

Security you can prove.

Continuously.

More than a vulnerability scan: Tracer finds the ways into your systems and proves which ones really work.
Then we make sure every fix holds — documented in an evidence dossier your auditors can use.

Auditors ask for evidence.

Do you have it on file?

Annual snapshot

One test, once a year.

Findings rated in isolation.

No proof the fix worked.

Evidence stale by the next release.

With Tracer

Only what is really exploitable.

Linked the way an attacker would.

Proof for every finding.

Every fix re-tested.

The evidence gap

When was your surface last checked?

For most companies, months ago.

An annual pentest or audit proves what was true on the day it ran. Every release, dependency and new vulnerability after it goes unchecked until the next one.

Annual pentest

Days since the last check

Dozens of releases since. None of them checked.

With Tracer

Days since the last check

Re-checked on a fixed cadence — and after every release.

How it works

Tracer finds the way in before attackers do.

Then proves it’s closed.

Tracer runs on AI models trained for offensive security work. It uses purpose-built tools, remembers every earlier cycle and learns from each result — and a certified tester reviews everything it finds.

01

Find every way in

Domains, subdomains, logins, APIs and third-party code — everything reachable from outside, mapped again every cycle so nothing new slips through.

02

Prove what really works

Weak spots are linked into attack paths, and each path is validated with a controlled exploit. You get proof and a clear priority — never a guess.

03

Make sure the fix holds

After your fix, the same attack runs again. A finding only closes when it no longer works — with the result in your dossier.

Proof in practice

Tracer finds what’s there.

And never invents what isn’t.

Three Tracer runs on three very different systems. Each took minutes, every result came with evidence, and on live systems a person approved every intrusive step.

Live application

3

findings on a hardened live application: 1 medium, 2 low

Everything else was tested and recorded as clean. No inflated alerts, no padding.

Hardened server

9

findings in a vulnerable application, 1 of them critical

The well-configured server underneath was correctly rated clean — strong parts and weak ones told apart.

Test system

Minutes

from first look to full evidence on a deliberately weak test system

When a path exists, it goes all the way, end to end, with proof for every step.

Reference case · anonymised

What a real run looks like.

Every finding, with proof.

A B2B web shop with payment integration and its own identity provider. External black-box analysis — three independent runs, consolidated.

CONFIRMED · MEDIUM

Incomplete certificate chain

The server sends only the leaf certificate. Clients that don’t fetch intermediates themselves fail validation — integrations break.

CONFIRMED · MEDIUM

Payment script without integrity check

The checkout loads a third-party payment SDK without Subresource Integrity — a supply-chain path to card skimming.

0

Reference finding 03

LEAD · NOT VALIDATED

Admin API in scope

Public metadata reveals an admin API scope on the identity provider. Only an authenticated test can confirm or rule it out.

T3

handed to human-led testing

Everything else we tested held — and the dossier lists exactly what was tested. The next questions sit behind the login: payment status, authorisation, admin access. That is where Tracer Deep Dive goes.

How it compares

A scanner tells you what might be wrong.

Tracer proves what is.

Scanners match software versions against lists. An annual pentest goes deep — once. We go deep every cycle and back every finding with proof.

Three tiers

Start free.

Go as deep as you need.

Each tier builds on the one before: Tracer Check shows what is visible, Tracer Continuous proves what is exploitable, and in Tracer Deep Dive our testers go as far as an attack can.

T1

Free

Tracer Check

The outside view: what anyone on the internet can see about your domain. No effort on your side.

TLS, certificates and cryptography

Security headers and CSP

Exposed hosts and services

Login and identity surface (passive)

Free · one domain · one-off

T2

Continuous

Tracer Continuous

Tracer tests your surface on a fixed cadence, validates what is exploitable and re-tests every fix.

Exploits validated, with proof

Measures ranked P1 to P3

Re-test after every fix

Evidence dossier, every cycle

Monthly or quarterly · fixed price

T3

Human-led

Tracer Deep Dive

Our certified testers take the deepest paths further: payment flows, authorisation and business logic, end to end.

Authenticated testing

Business logic and payment integrity

Full attack chains, end to end

Signed report for auditors

Scoped per project

Fix & re-verify

Fix what matters first.

Prove the fix worked.

We rank findings by what is actually exposed. Your team fixes; we repeat the check and log the result in your dossier.

The exact fix, in plain words.

Every priority ships with a concrete measure your team or IT provider can act on: the setting, the header, the certificate.

Fix P1 first — the list says what is next

Your team makes the change — we don’t change your systems.

Dossier entry

Closed means the re-check passed.

Not that the ticket was closed. We run the same check against the fixed system and record the result in your evidence dossier.

The same check, repeated after the fix

Result and date logged, tamper-evident

A finding closes only when the re-check passes

Frequently asked questions

Something not covered here? Ask us directly.

01

Is this just a vulnerability scan?

No. A scanner compares software versions with a list of known issues and stops there. Tracer, our AI system, is trained for offensive security work: it links weaknesses into attack paths, validates each one with a controlled exploit, remembers what earlier cycles found and re-tests every fix. A certified tester reviews every result before it reaches you.
