STINGRAI

STINGRAI is a PTaaS (Penetration Testing as a Service) platform developed for a cybersecurity consulting firm to automate the full penetration testing workflow—from initial client engagement to vulnerability reporting and delivery.

01

The Situation

What needed fixing.

Cybersecurity consulting firms often rely on manual workflows to manage client onboarding, vulnerability tracking, penetration testing coordination, and reporting. These fragmented processes lead to delays, communication gaps, inefficient data management, and difficulty in scaling penetration testing services efficiently.

02

What we built

The system we shipped.

To address the workflow challenges, a multi-portal PTaaS platform was developed that centralizes all cybersecurity operations into one system.

Frontend

  • Next.js
  • CSS
  • Responsive UI/UX Design

Backend

  • Apollo GraphQL
  • WebSocket
  • Socket.io

Other Technologies

This architecture ensured fast performance, scalability, and real-time collaboration across all users.

  • Data Analytics Tools
  • Real-time Communication Systems
  • Jira Integration
  • PDF Report Generation System
  • Admin Portal — Manage projects, users, and workflows
  • Contractor Portal — Enable penetration testers to manage vulnerabilities
  • Client Portal — Allow clients to request quotes and monitor testing progress
  • Vulnerability Management System — Track and manage vulnerabilities centrally
  • JIRA Integration — Export vulnerabilities directly to JIRA
  • PDF Report Generator — Generate structured security reports
  • Real-Time Communication Module — Enable instant collaboration
  • Responsive Interface — Optimized for web and mobile devices
03

The Outcome

What changed afterwards.

The STINGRAI platform significantly improved operational efficiency by automating penetration testing workflows and reducing manual intervention. It enhanced collaboration between clients and penetration testers through real-time communication and centralized vulnerability tracking. The integration of automated reporting and third-party tools improved productivity and reduced turnaround time for delivering cybersecurity services.

Before Implementation

  • Manual penetration testing workflows
  • Disconnected communication channels
  • Slow reporting processes
  • Limited scalability
  • Poor vulnerability tracking visibility

After Implementation

  • Fully automated PTaaS workflow
  • Real-time collaboration tools
  • Fast and structured reporting
  • Scalable multi-portal system
  • Centralized vulnerability management
