Vantage

Documentation

Get started with Vantage

Everything you need to set up continuous security testing for your web application.

Quickstart

Get your first assessment running in under 10 minutes.

1

Request access

Sign up for early access. Once approved, you'll receive an invitation to create your account.

2

Create an assessment

An assessment is a security testing campaign for one application. Give it a name, add your target URL, and choose your objective — full assessment, regression check, or targeted scope test.

3

Verify target ownership

Add a verification record to confirm you control the target. This ensures Vantage only tests applications you own or are authorized to test.

4

Configure authentication (optional)

Provide credentials so Vantage can test behind your login. Credentials are stored encrypted and used only to authenticate scan sessions.

5

Run your first scan

Click Start scan. Your application is assessed across the full OWASP Top 10. Initial findings appear within minutes — prioritized by severity with reproduction steps included.

How scans work

A Vantage scan runs in two phases, automatically.

Phase 1 — Surface mapping

Vantage maps your application's attack surface — endpoints, parameters, technologies, and entry points. This builds the foundation for targeted testing in Phase 2.

Phase 2 — AI-driven testing

Specialized AI agents test your application across every relevant vulnerability class. Each agent focuses on a specific attack type, sends targeted requests, adapts based on what it finds, and only saves findings it can validate. You get confirmed vulnerabilities — not noise.

Vulnerability coverage

Vantage covers the full OWASP Top 10 and a broad set of web application vulnerabilities:

SQL Injection
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Broken Authentication
Sensitive Data Exposure
Security Misconfigurations
CORS Vulnerabilities
Command Injection
Directory Traversal
CSRF
Open Redirects
JWT Weaknesses
Rate Limit Bypass
Host Header Injection
Clickjacking
DOM-based XSS
Session Vulnerabilities
User Enumeration
HTTP Verb Tampering
Known CVEs
Content Security Policy

Authentication modes

None

Unauthenticated testing only. Vantage tests your public-facing endpoints without logging in. Suitable for public APIs or as a baseline pass.

Provided

You supply credentials. Vantage authenticates and maintains the session throughout testing — so every finding reflects what an authenticated attacker could access. Credentials are stored encrypted.

Discover

Vantage attempts authentication autonomously — using your provided credentials first, then falling back to common patterns. Maximizes authenticated coverage for test environments.

Scan objectives

Full scan

Complete assessment across all vulnerability classes. Recommended for new targets or after significant code changes.

Regression check

Re-tests previously found vulnerabilities to confirm they've been fixed. Lightweight and fast.

Scope test

Focuses testing on a specific area of your application — useful for new features or recent changes.

Verify fix

Targeted retest of a single finding to confirm remediation. Returns a clear pass/fail.

Frequently asked questions

Will scans affect my production application?

Vantage sends standard HTTP requests — the same kind your users and browsers send. Scans are rate-limited to avoid performance impact. We recommend starting with a staging environment and graduating to production once you're comfortable with the tool's behavior.

How is Vantage different from a vulnerability scanner?

Traditional scanners match known patterns. Vantage agents reason about your application — they authenticate, navigate multi-step flows, chain findings, and validate exploitability with active probing. This catches logic flaws and business-context vulnerabilities that signature-based tools cannot.

Can I integrate scans into my CI/CD pipeline?

API integration and CI/CD support are on the roadmap. Currently scans are triggered manually or on a schedule from the dashboard. Contact us if this is a blocker — it's a top priority.

What happens to my data when I cancel?

We retain your data for 30 days after cancellation, then permanently delete it. You can export your findings at any time.
