The premier two-sided marketplace standardizing offensive security procurement. We bridge the gap between enterprise security teams and elite penetration testing vendors.
Finding a reliable penetration testing vendor traditionally takes months of research, RFPs, and legal reviews. We have engineered a platform that condenses this into a 1-week process. Discover how easy it is to find pre-vetted providers, compare pricing, and launch an engagement.
Traditional vendor selection fails because buyers lack market price transparency and struggle to evaluate technical methodologies pushed by non-technical sales teams. This results in lengthy RFP cycles, inconsistent testing scopes, and 6-10 week delays before actual penetration testing begins.
Lion Security removes this friction. Bypass the endless vendor onboarding, NDAs, and legal redlining. What you get with our platform: 3 vetted proposals mapped exactly to your scope, objective pricing benchmarks, and an expert vendor recommendation all within 1 week.
Use our interactive scoping wizard to define your target assets (web apps, APIs, cloud environments, or internal networks). Specify your compliance requirements, such as SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, or ISO 27001, to ensure the engagement meets auditor standards. Our solutions architects will review your scope to guarantee it matches your risk profile.
Your anonymized scope is securely broadcasted to matching elite providers within our network. Our platform curates 3-5 blind proposals from firms that specialize in exactly what you need. Compare methodologies, verify tester certifications (like OSCP or CREST), and benchmark market pricing side-by-side to make a data-driven vendor selection.
Avoid spending weeks in legal redlining. Once you award a bid to a penetration testing provider, you instantly sign a standardized Master Service Agreement (MSA) and Statement of Work (SOW) directly through our automated integration. Lion Security acts as the unified point of contact and accountability for the entire contract.
Communicate securely with your testing team holding regular debriefs. Monitor engagement progress and receive your final encrypted report showing clear remediation paths for all vulnerabilities. Once your engineering team resolves the issues, the provider conducts a formal retest to validate fixes, offering an audit-ready compliance trail.
Get proposals from multiple vendors and pay your selected vendor directly through our platform.

We guarantee provider performance. If deliverables don't meet agreed standards, we'll work with the provider to remediate at no cost, or engage an alternative provider if needed.
We negotiate volume pricing with our provider network and pass competitive rates to customers. Our pricing includes both provider delivery and Lion's procurement management services. In most cases, our all-in price is comparable to or better than what you'd negotiate directly.
We price competitively from the start. For high-volume commitments (3+ engagements per year), we offer preferred pricing.
