Qodex.ai helps teams prepare for and complement formal penetration tests — by providing continuous, automated security testing that runs throughout the development cycle.

Many teams today only conduct penetration testing (pentests) once or twice per year — often after a release, or for compliance requirements (SOC2, ISO 27001, PCI, HIPAA).

But APIs evolve rapidly — and security gaps can emerge at any time between pentest cycles.

How Qodex Compliments Penetration Testing

  • Runs OWASP Top 10 tests continuously — not just once per year
  • Auto-generates security tests for new endpoints as APIs evolve
  • Surfaces token abuse, auth flaws, data leakage before production
  • Provides detailed Build Reports that can be shared with pentesters or auditors
  • Maintains audit logs for all security tests run
  • Tracks coverage trends — so teams can prove that new APIs are tested
  • Detects and alerts on regressions that would otherwise go undetected between pentests

Benefits for Security and Compliance Teams

  • Prepares your APIs for formal penetration testing — fewer last-minute surprises
  • Reduces “gap windows” between annual or quarterly pentests
  • Helps prove to auditors that API security testing is part of your SDLC
  • Surfaces issues earlier — enabling faster remediation
  • Provides artifacts for:
    • SOC2
    • ISO 27001
    • GDPR / CCPA
    • HIPAA
    • PCI DSS

Typical Workflow

  1. Use Qodex to run continuous OWASP tests (daily/weekly) on staging
  2. Before a formal pentest, export Build Reports for review
  3. After pentest, use Qodex to validate remediation
  4. Keep security tests running in CI/CD to monitor for regressions
