Real security challenges.
Verified outcomes.
See how technology teams work with Capture The Bug to identify exploitable vulnerabilities, collaborate directly with pentesters and verify remediation.
The challenge
Testing schedules did not match release cycles, findings lacked business context, and every fix had to wait for one final retest.
Our approach
Expert-led continuous testing that keeps context from earlier assessments, with tailored reporting and direct collaboration between pentesters and engineers.
The outcome
More flexible testing, more relevant findings, and individual fixes verified through targeted retesting as they became ready.
“What we've valued about Capture The Bug is their ability to understand our environment and adapt to how our engineering team works. We needed more flexibility around testing, reporting and remediation, rather than a standard pentest engagement. Their team has been responsive, and the ability to work directly with the pentesters, see findings as they come through and request targeted retesting has made the process much better aligned with our delivery cadence.”

We don't just test what AI says. We test what attackers can make it do.
Expert-led AI penetration testing across LLM applications, AI agents and connected systems. We uncover exploitable risks in AI behaviour, permissions, data access and business workflows.
What we test
Prompt Injection & AI Manipulation
Test how malicious instructions and untrusted content can influence AI behaviour or bypass intended controls.
AI Agents & Tool Security
Assess whether AI agents can execute unauthorised actions or access internal tools beyond their intended permissions.
Data Exposure & Database Access
Identify risks involving sensitive information, database queries, internal APIs and access controls.
RAG & Document Security
Test how manipulated documents and retrieved content can influence AI responses, classification and security decisions.
- Integrations

No. Capture The Bug provides expert-led penetration testing, not just automated vulnerability scanning.
Our specialists use a combination of security tools, established methodologies and manual testing to identify exploitable vulnerabilities, including business logic weaknesses and complex attack paths that automated scanners may miss.
Every reported vulnerability is manually validated, with evidence and practical remediation guidance.
We use AI-assisted capabilities to support our security testing and research, while keeping experienced penetration testers responsible for assessment decisions and the validation of findings.
Our approach combines human expertise with evolving technology, rather than relying solely on automated tools or AI-generated vulnerability reports.
Traditional penetration testing focuses on vulnerabilities in applications, APIs, infrastructure and access controls.
AI penetration testing also examines how attackers can manipulate LLM applications, AI agents, retrieval systems and connected tools.
This includes prompt injection, unauthorised tool execution, information disclosure and attacks that cross the security boundaries between AI and business systems.
Yes. We provide scoped, one-off penetration testing engagements as well as continuous Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS).
For organisations with frequent releases or evolving environments, continuous testing supports ongoing risk visibility, specialist collaboration and verified remediation.
Yes. Our engagements include detailed technical reporting, severity-rated and validated findings, supporting evidence and practical remediation recommendations.
Retesting is provided within the agreed engagement terms to verify that identified vulnerabilities have been addressed.
Our assessments use recognised security testing methodologies and relevant industry standards, including OWASP ASVS, OWASP MASVS and the OWASP API Security Top 10.
The testing approach is tailored to your application architecture, security objectives, access requirements and agreed scope.
