What is white-label penetration testing for MSPs?

White-label penetration testing lets an MSP resell human-led pentests under its own brand. OSCP-certified testers run the engagement and write the report, and the deliverable ships under the MSP's name — the client never sees the third-party vendor. It adds the manual depth automated scanning cannot produce.

How is manual pentesting different from automated scanning?

Automated scanning (Nmap, Nuclei, OWASP ZAP) gives continuous, repeatable coverage of exposed services and known vulnerabilities. Manual pentesting adds chained exploits, business-logic flaws, and Active Directory attack paths that only a human tester finds — the depth auditors expect for SOC 2, PCI, and HIPAA.

When does an MSP client need a manual pentest?

Typically when a client must satisfy an auditor — a SOC 2 audit, a PCI DSS assessment, or an attested third-party report — or when they need validation beyond what automated scans provide. Run automated scans continuously, and bring in the manual pentest when compliance requires it.

Which compliance frameworks does a pentest map to?

A single engagement can produce evidence mapped to SOC 2 (Type I & II), PCI DSS v4.0, HIPAA Security Rule, CMMC 2.0 / NIST 800-171, CIS Critical Controls (IG1–IG3), and ISO 27001:2022.

Partner Program

Partner with MSP Pentesting

VulnScanners gives you continuous, automated vulnerability scanning. But automated tools can only go so far — sooner or later a client needs the manual depth a scanner can't produce: a human-led pentest for a SOC 2 audit, a PCI assessment, or an attested third-party report. That's where MSP Pentesting comes in.

MSP Pentesting is a channel-only, white-label penetration testing vendor. Their OSCP-certified testers run the engagement, write the report, and hand you audit-ready evidence — all under your brand. Your client never sees their name. It's the manual half of the picture that pairs naturally with the automated scanning you already run here.

Automated scanning, meet manual pentesting

VulnScanners runs Nmap, Nuclei, and OWASP ZAP against your targets on demand or on a schedule — continuous, repeatable coverage that surfaces exposed services and known vulnerabilities. MSP Pentesting picks up where that stops: chained exploits, business-logic flaws, Active Directory attack paths, and the kind of findings that only come from a person sitting at a keyboard. Run the scans yourself, bring in the manual pentest when a client needs to satisfy an auditor.

Why MSPs partner with them

The whole model is built for resale, so you can offer manual penetration testing as your own service line:

White-labeled deliverables. Every report and evidence package ships under your brand — your client never sees a third-party name.
Channel-only pricing. Reseller pricing built for MSP, MSSP, and vCISO resale margins.
Days, not weeks. Engagements are scoped, scheduled, and performed fast — no multi-month enterprise lead times.
Audit-ready evidence. Hand your client a package they pass straight to their SOC 2, PCI, or HIPAA assessor.
Multi-framework mapping. One engagement maps controls across several frameworks at once — no duplicate testing.
No client poaching. 100% channel-focused. The testing team works behind your brand and stays there.

What you can resell

A full engagement catalog, all available under your brand:

Manual white-label pentesting — human-led, OSCP-certified testing, rebranded entirely under your name.
AI & automated pentesting — technology-assisted assessments for faster, broader coverage.
External network — public-facing assets probed the way a real attacker would.
Internal & Active Directory — lateral movement, privilege escalation, and AD risk discovery.
Web application — manual testing for injection, auth, access-control, and logic flaws.
Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) — configuration and identity review across cloud providers.
WiFi — detect rogue access points and prevent credential theft.
Social engineering — phishing, vishing, and physical-access testing.
Risk assessments — vulnerability identification and prioritization for leadership.
Attested third-party — independent validation when a client needs an outside attestation.

You can browse the full service list on the MSP Pentesting site.

Who it's for

The program is built for MSPs, MSSPs, vCISOs, auditors, GRC firms, and security resellers — anyone who needs to deliver penetration testing to clients without standing up an offensive-security team in-house.

Compliance coverage

A single engagement can produce evidence mapped to the frameworks your clients are audited against:

SOC 2 (Type I & II)
PCI DSS v4.0
HIPAA Security Rule
CMMC 2.0 / NIST 800-171
CIS Critical Controls (IG1–IG3)
ISO 27001:2022
