For most teams, application security begins and ends with a single pentest. Once a year, maybe twice, you schedule the test, get a report, fix a few critical findings, and move on. The problem is, vulnerabilities don’t operate on your schedule.
Modern applications evolve constantly. New features ship. Dependencies change. Attackers adapt. What was secure six months ago might not be today. And if your only visibility into app-layer risk comes once a year, you’re flying blind the rest of the time.
That’s why we’re introducing VIP for Application Security. It’s a recurring, right-sized approach for teams that need more than a one-off test but don’t want to buy a full security platform. This post breaks down what it includes, who it’s for, and how it helps you stay ahead between pentests.
VIP for Application Security is built for teams that need consistent coverage without unnecessary complexity. It combines the depth of manual testing with the consistency of recurring visibility, all supported by real human guidance.
Here’s what’s included:
Each engagement starts with a scoped, hands-on penetration test of your application. Whether it’s a web app, API, or mobile app, we take a targeted approach based on your environment and business priorities.
After the initial test, we run recurring automated Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) scans to surface new issues introduced by code changes, configuration updates, or new threat intelligence. These are focused on your application layer, not generic network scanning.
Scans alone don’t help if you can’t interpret the results. We review findings, reduce false positives, and provide clear prioritization based on real-world exploitability and context.
As you remediate vulnerabilities, we offer retesting to confirm the issues have been properly resolved. This closes the loop and gives your team confidence that fixes are effective.
Throughout the year, our team is available to walk through findings, help prepare for client reviews, and offer insight into new risks as they emerge. You don’t just get a report, you get a partner.
VIP for Application Security is designed for teams that need real security outcomes without getting pulled into expensive tools or oversized programs. It’s for companies who care about protecting their applications but also care about clarity, speed, and staying lean.
Here’s who benefits most:
VIP for Application Security is not a scanning service. It’s a structured, guided way to stay secure between pentests while staying focused on what actually matters.
Buying a scanner might feel like progress, but most teams quickly realize they are left with more data than they can handle. Without context, prioritization, or support, recurring scans become just another task to ignore. On the other side of the spectrum, annual pentests provide depth for a moment in time but leave long stretches of silence between engagements.
VIP for Application Security was built to fix that gap.
With this model, your team gets the depth of a manual pentest and the consistency of ongoing scanning, but more importantly, you get the clarity to act. We do not just send over raw findings. We review results with you, highlight what is relevant, and help guide remediation.
Because this is a relationship, not a transaction, we include follow-up support, retesting, and regular check-ins throughout the year. The value is not in how often you scan. It is in how well you understand what the scans are telling you and what you should do next.
McCormack’s human-first approach is what makes this offering different. We are not reselling tools. We are providing insight, validation, and a consistent security presence for teams that need it but do not want the burden of managing it all alone.
Clients, partners, and regulators are asking more questions than ever about how companies protect their applications. It is no longer enough to say you did a pentest last year or that you use a scanner once in a while. Buyers expect proof that security is being handled consistently and with care.
VIP for Application Security helps you meet these expectations without spinning up a full AppSec program or licensing expensive tools you do not need. With recurring scans, validated findings, and documented remediation efforts, you have what you need to respond to client questionnaires, vendor assessments, or compliance prep.
This program also builds confidence within your team. Instead of scrambling for answers or rushing to fix things after an annual test, your team stays in the loop year-round. You can show leadership and stakeholders that security is not just a checkbox. It is an ongoing process with real oversight.
Whether you are responding to client demands, preparing for SOC 2, or just want to be more proactive about protecting your application, VIP for AppSec helps you show up ready.
Security is not about buying the biggest platform. It is about having the right level of visibility, the ability to act on what matters, and a partner who helps you stay on track.
VIP for Application Security was built for teams that need real coverage between pentests. It delivers manual testing, recurring scans, expert triage, and follow-up support—all without forcing you into tools you do not need or dashboards you will not use.
If you are ready for ongoing application security that fits your team, your goals, and your budget, we can help you get started.
