About Heist
Where others optimize to find zero days, we optimize to raise the bar.
Most offensive security chases the spectacular find. We put our effort into making everything you ship harder to break.
Our mission
Patch up the internet
Raising the bar means making good security affordable for everyone. Today rigorous testing is priced for enterprises, and most teams go without.
We start with pentesting, run continuously and priced so you never have to ration it. Over time we will take on more of the security work behind everything you ship.
Why we built Heist
Software changed. The security industry didn't.
AI writes much of the code now and teams ship every day, yet a breach can still end a company overnight. The security industry answers with an annual snapshot, opaque methods and pricing that assumes an enterprise behind it.
We believe security should work like the best engineering tools: continuous, verifiable and integrated where you work. Every team that ships software should be able to afford that.
Pentesting is where the gap is widest, so that is where we begin.
Cadence
Continuous testing
A pentest runs on every meaningful change you ship.
Depth
Full coverage
Every route and role tested against OWASP ASVS 5.0. Around 350 requirements, applied deterministically on every run. No scoping down to fit.
Evidence
Audit-ready
Timestamped, reproducible records for every run. Ready for SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
