Solution Brief
Two Pathways to Invicti DAST
With Invicti Security as our platform partner, True Positives makes enterprise-caliber DAST-first application security testing genuinely accessible to the startups and growing businesses that need it just as much as any large organization. The two pathways here differ substantially in how they operate, what they ask of the client, and what they cost.
Invicti DAST-first testing gives security and development teams a verified, reliable picture of application risk. True Positives delivers that assurance through two distinct service pathways, each built for a different operational profile.
Pathway #2
Direct Platform Licensing
Invicti DAST — in your hands.
You license Invicti directly and operate it within your own team. True Positives handles procurement, onboarding, and consultation. Scanning, triage, and reporting are managed by your staff.
WHAT YOUR TEAM PROVIDES
- Qualified AppSec engineer or dedicated team
- Scan scheduling, target configuration and management
- Scan training, tuning, and result optimization
- Results interpretation and false positive triage
- Remediation reporting, prioritization, and rescan tracking
Pathway #1
Managed AppSec Testing
Invicti DAST — operated for you (MSSP)
True Positives operates Invicti on your behalf. Senior analysts configure, execute, and validate every scan. You receive verified findings and remediation guidance — without managing the platform or personnel internally.

Pricing in the 1–4 Target Range
Both Invicti licensing editions are built around a 5-target foundation, providing room to expand immediately as organizational needs grow. The MSSP carries no target minimum — rates scale from one target upward, with volume discounts from the second.
| Targets | Essentials 5-target minimum |
Professional 5-target minimum |
MSSP Quarterly 4 scans/target/yr |
MSSP Monthly 12 scans/target/yr |

Direct Licensing note: 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 can activate additional targets at any time without renegotiating. The MSSP carries no minimum; subscription pricing scales to the targets you cover today.
Which Pathway Fits Your Organization?
Direct Platform Licensing is a strong fit when:
▸Your team includes a qualified AppSec engineer or equivalent
▸You need to cover 5 or more targets and want direct platform control
▸CI/CD pipeline integration is a near-term operational requirement
▸Compliance workflows require direct platform access and audit trails
▸Internal headcount is already allocated for security tooling operations
Managed AppSec Testing is a strong fit when:
▸You need to cover 1–4 targets without paying a 5-target minimum
▸Dedicated AppSec staff are not yet in place or are at full capacity
▸Time-to-first-scan and ongoing program continuity are priorities
▸Your team needs verified findings — not raw scan output to interpret
▸Recruiting, training, and retention risk represent a material cost
On the price differential: Direct licensing is priced for the platform only. The personnel, triage, reporting, and rescan tracking required to run a DAST program carry fully-loaded costs of $120,000–$200,000+ annually — none of which is included in the license fee. The MSSP transfers that entire operational layer to True Positives.
