See what CTOs and security leaders say about Astra's pentesting platform
"Astra identified several moderate and high severity issues that our team never thought existed. We are working in the Mental Health space and data privacy and security are extremely critical to us. That being said, I am thankful for to Astra."
Georgi Atanasov
“A key standout during our Astra Pentest was the solid support via Slack, making communication easy and efficient. The platform itself is user-friendly, and the Jira integration greatly streamlined issue resolution for our team, seamlessly fitting into our existing workflow”
Richard Ganpatsingh
"Astra's exceptional manual penetration testing and efficient automated tools have provided invaluable insights into our application's security, making them our trusted partner for comprehensive and reliable security measures"
Michal Pěkný
"We are impressed with Astra's dashboard and its amazing ‘automated and scheduled‘ scanning capabilities. Integrating these scans into our CI/CD pipeline was a breeze and saved us a lot of time. The rapid issue resolution and detailed vulnerability …"
Ankur Rawal
"The most impressive part is the certificate they give you. It shows that you actually pentest and don't just say that you do. Customers can be a tad more trusting in your security because it's not just lip service. The dashboard can be a little slow sometimes, but this "
Clinton Skakun
"What made Astra stand out was how everything worked together: a team that actually responded, a dashboard that didn't require a learning curve, and remediation guidance that was clear and thorough. Nothing felt generic. If you're evaluating security partners, put Astra at the top of that list."

Manual Penetration Testing
Astra's human security engineers conduct structured, methodology-driven pentests, verifying every finding manually before it reaches your dashboard. This eliminates false positives and ensures the results are audit-grade.
Compliance & Audit Readiness
Astra's reports are designed from the ground up for compliance audits, SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, with structured vulnerability evidence, severity ratings, and executive summaries.
API Security Coverage
Astra provides specialised API security: automatic discovery of undocumented and shadow APIs, an Authorisation Matrix to map privilege escalation risks, DAST-based testing on live endpoints, and real-time traffic monitoring via connectors.
Enterprise Readiness
Astra is trusted by finance, healthcare, and e-commerce enterprises needing formal pentest reports and compliance documentation. Its dedicated security engineer model scales to complex enterprise architectures, including microservices and poly-cloud environments.
The bottom line
Astra Security wins for security-first teams
reports, and coverage across web apps, APIs, mobile, cloud, and network devices, Astra Security is the
stronger, more purpose-built choice.
Over 1,000 businesses trust Astra's combination of automated scanning and expert engineers to uncover
vulnerabilities that automated tools miss. For teams just starting to shift security left in code review
workflows, Aikido's developer-first approach and generous free tier are worth exploring, but it doesn't
replace a structured pentest.
