One full validation cycle on one application. You get the Receipt, the PR-ready patches, the operator report — everything an ongoing Validated customer gets, for one cycle.
Roughly 40% less than a comparable one-off pentest.
Credits roll into your first Validated contract if you continue. Repeat as needed if you don't.

Staris vs a competitive one-off AI pentest

Less per-test budget. Less work for your team.

Price per test

Staris: $4,500 per cycle (Validated, billed annually) or $4,900 for a single cycle. Named-expert review included at no add-on.
Competitive one-off: ~$8,000 per engagement. AI scan plus written report; remediation typically billed separately.
Annualized: Staris Validated $54K / 12 one-off tests ~$96K (≈$42K savings).

What you can ship from it

With Staris you can merge PR-ready patches the same day, drop the signed Receipt straight into security questionnaires, insurer renewals, and board reviews, skip the is this real? triage on every finding, and hand AppSec a trace-level operator report for audit context.
With a competitive one-off you have to read the findings list, triage internally, open tickets, write your own remediation plan, and re-engage the vendor for the next release.

Cadence & continuity

With Staris you can re-validate on every release without waiting for an annual window, show buyers a current Receipt with a 30-day validity stamp signed by a named expert, and track coverage, remediation velocity, and validated commits month over month.
With a competitive one-off you have to live with a stale PDF the moment the next release ships, re-pay for the next engagement, and explain to buyers why your most recent test is from last quarter.

Comparison based on publicly listed per-engagement pricing and standard deliverables for competitive autonomous AI-pentest offerings as of Q2 2026. Scope, depth, and deliverable format vary by vendor.

PROOF IN NUMBERS

From 590 candidates to 6 true vulns.

A recent anonymized pilot at a Global Technology Company. Most of what AppSec scanners surface isnt actionable. Staris validates each candidate so your team only sees signal.

Raw scanner output

590

Vulnerability candidates flagged

  • Days to weeks of manual triage required
  • High noise rate, alert fatigue
  • Real bugs lost in the pile

Staris-validated output

6

True, consolidated vulnerabilities

  • 7 hours total runtime, end-to-end
  • 823K+ lines of code analyzed
  • Prioritized findings, ready to remediate

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Staris?

Staris is a continuous application security validation platform that proves which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable in running applications. Staris replaces scanner noise and point-in-time pentesting with continuous, provable security validation.

What does "continuous, provable validation" mean?

Continuous, provable validation means security testing that runs on a recurring, release-aligned basis and produces validated evidence of exploitability. Instead of relying on point-in-time pentesting or large volumes of scanner findings, teams use Staris to continuously prove which vulnerabilities actually matter.

Who is Staris built for?

Staris is built for software companies that ship frequently, expose APIs or customer-facing applications, and need provable security validation without relying entirely on manual pentesting. It is especially well suited for ISVs and product teams that have outgrown scanner-heavy workflows.

What does Staris replace in my current stack?

Staris replaces traditional penetration testing, vulnerability scanners, and manual validation workflows by continuously discovering and proving real exploitable vulnerabilities with working exploit + PR-ready patch on every finding.

What types of vulnerabilities does Staris find?

Staris focuses on exploitable vulnerabilities that can be demonstrated end-to-end — including broken access controls, authentication bypasses, injection flaws, and business logic errors. Each reported finding includes proof of exploitability with steps to reproduce, so your team fixes only real, validated risks instead of triaging unverified scanner alerts.

What does "verified" or "proven exploitability" mean?

Verified vulnerabilities are security issues Staris has successfully exploited, eliminating false positives and ensuring real-world risk relevance.

How does Staris simulate real attacker behavior?

Staris AI simulates real attacker behavior against your application, executes controlled exploits, and confirms only real, exploitable vulnerabilities with contextual remediation guidance.

What kind of remediation guidance does Staris provide?

Staris provides actionable remediation guidance mapped directly to the exploited vulnerability, including root cause, impact, and code-level recommendations.

Can I limit what Staris tests?

Yes you have complete control over the scope and actions Staris takes ensuring it never performs an action against your environment you didn't approve.

How does Staris differ from traditional vulnerability scanners?

Scanners, SAST tools, and code review products identify potential vulnerabilities or risky patterns in code. Staris validates whether vulnerabilities are actually exploitable in the running application. That is why Staris helps teams reduce false positives, prioritize real attacker paths, and move from possible findings to validated risk.

How does Staris complement or replace SAST and DAST?

Staris complements or replaces traditional SAST and DAST tools by validating vulnerabilities in business context and confirming exploitability. This reduces false positives and improves remediation prioritization.

How does Staris differ from traditional penetration testing?

Staris AI provides continuous security validation through verified exploitation and contextual remediation guidance.

How does Staris handle source code access and data isolation?

Staris analyzes application code and behavior to validate exploitability, but deployment options allow organizations to retain full control of their source code and infrastructure. Staris can run within customer-controlled environments, ensuring sensitive data remains secure and isolated.

Does Staris train its models on customer data?

No. Staris does not train its models on customer application code or sensitive data. Staris analyzes applications solely to validate security and provide remediation guidance, and customer data remains isolated within the deployment environment.

Can Staris run in a private VPC or be self-hosted?

Yes. Staris supports deployment in private VPC and fully self-hosted environments, allowing organizations with strict security and compliance requirements to run Staris entirely within their own infrastructure.

What security practices does Staris follow?

Yes. Staris follows modern security best practices, supports private deployments, does not train on any customer data, and never exposes customer data outside authorized environments.

Does Staris support RBAC and SSO?

Yes. Staris supports role-based access control (RBAC) and single sign-on (SSO) in Premium and Enterprise plans.
