- Continuous optimization & expert oversight
- Security, Compliance, Development ready reporting
- Free remediation rescans between every scan cycle
Which AST Pathway Is the Right Fit?
| Direct Platform Licensing is a Strong Fit When: | Managed AppSec Testing is a Strong Fit When: |
|---|---|
| Application targets reside within firewalled, segmented, or internally hosted environments that limit third-party scan access | Outsourcing application security testing allows necessary focus to remain on product delivery and core business priorities |
| Compliance or data-handling policies restrict third-party access to data deemed sensitive or proprietary | Your software security assurance testing requirements are nascent, modest, unpredictable, or unique |
| Your software security assurance testing responsibilities encompass multiple application targets | No dedicated AppSec staff are in place and security responsibilities are distributed across roles already at full capacity |
| Direct control over vulnerability scan targeting, configuration, and scheduling is a requirement | Time-to-first-scan is a priority and a hiring or training cycle is not a viable path to getting there |
| CI/CD pipeline integration is a current or near-term operational requirement | The business would benefit from having an outside authority to mediate and align development and security priorities |
| Your team has at least one qualified AppSec professional with the skills to perform setup, operation, results interpretation & findings communication | A credentialed third-party is necessary to assist in satisfying outside security interests and requirements |

Both pathways require an annual subscription. Direct licensing provides platform access for self-managed operation (minimum 2 targets). Managed services include platform, validation, and support (available from 1 target).

T+ also offers independent third-party security assessments on demand, with no ongoing subscription required.
Optional Add-On: Expert Penetration Testing
Automated DAST scanning establishes a reliable vulnerability baseline, but business logic flaws, chained attack paths, and access control weaknesses frequently evade even sophisticated automated engines. Hands-on penetration testing by experienced practitioners surfaces what automation cannot. This upgrade is available as an attachment to either pathway, managed service targets and direct platform targets alike, within the vendor relationship you already have.
Direct Licensing: Entry Cost and Minimums
Both Invicti Essentials and Professional are structured around a 5-target foundation. Organizations starting with fewer targets enter at the full 5-target rate and may activate additional targets at any time without renegotiating terms. The managed service carries no target minimum; subscription pricing scales directly to the targets your program covers today.
Understanding the Price Differential: CapEx vs. OpEx
For organizations that expense SaaS and managed services as operating expenditures, the relevant comparison is not license fee versus service fee. It is total program cost versus total program cost. Direct platform licensing is a software capital expenditure that covers platform access only. The personnel, triage, reporting, remediation tracking, and rescan management required to sustain a functioning DAST program carry fully-loaded organizational costs of $120,000–$200,000 or more annually, none of which appears in the license price. Managed AppSec converts that entire operational burden into a single, predictable operating expense with no staffing assumptions embedded in the budget.
