The Shift

Teams aren't leaving their old pentest vendor because they stopped caring about security.

They're leaving because the reports stopped telling them anything they didn't already know. The complaint is consistent:

"Our last pentest was a re-skinned vulnerability scan."
"We paid enterprise prices and waited weeks for a PDF full of TLS warnings."
"The real bugs — the ones attackers actually use — were never found."

Teams switch to Farchase because it fixes exactly these three failures: depth, speed, and price.

Why Teams Switch

Three reasons, backed by real findings

1Manual testing that finds what scanners miss

Farchase leads with human, exploit-driven testing — researchers who reason about an application the way an attacker does, not a scanner matching signatures. The difference shows up in the class of bug found. Recent engagements surfaced findings that automated tooling and prior pentests walked straight past.

// Recent engagement findings
DiscoveredReportedPatched
Admin able to delete a Super Admin
Privilege escalation through an unguarded API. A scanner sees a valid call; only a human asks whether that role should be allowed to make it.
DiscoveredReportedPatched
Injecting messages into a victim's private chat
Broken object-level authorization (IDOR), with the victim's history leaking back in the response.
DiscoveredReportedPatched
Admin able to demote the workspace Owner
Privilege escalation via role management — quietly seizing control of an entire tenant.
DiscoveredReportedPatched
SSRF via PDF export
HTML injection in a document field turned the server's PDF renderer into a pivot into the internal network and cloud metadata.

Every one is invisible to automated tooling and routinely missed by checkbox pentests — the kind of bug a real attacker chains into a breach.

2Affordable, transparent pricing

Serious manual testing doesn't need a six-figure price tag. Farchase is priced so regular, real testing is something teams can actually afford — not a once-a-year compliance grudge-purchase. One missed privilege-escalation or SSRF bug costs far more than the entire engagement.

3Fast turnaround

Traditional firms measure engagements in months of waiting. Farchase compresses that — quick to schedule, quick to test, quick to report — so findings land while they still matter, inside your release cycle rather than three releases later.
