Penetration Test Retest Agent

Every pen test finding is tracked to a verified fix

Penetration Test Retest Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

After a penetration test, each finding needs an owner, a fix and proof that it is really fixed, but reports often sit in a folder until the next test. This agent reads the report, splits it into findings and creates tracked items with owners and deadlines based on severity. It drafts plain explanations so engineering teams understand the risk. When a team marks a fix done, it runs the safe retest steps from the report inside the agreed test window. It runs only retests marked non-destructive; anything else is prepared for a human tester. If a finding still reproduces, it reopens the item with the retest output and notifies the owner. Accepted risks need a named approver. It drafts a retest summary that the security engineer approves before it reaches auditors or management. Edge case: retests that could change or delete data are only prepared, never run.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It runs only retests marked non-destructive and within the approved window; other retests are prepared for a human tester.

  • Destructive retests are left to the tester
  • Deadlines follow severity
  • Accepted risks need a named approver

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Deadline per severity
  • Test windows
  • Systems in scope
  • Summary audience

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Sharing the retest summary
  • Any risk acceptance

Hard limits

  • Tests only systems and windows in scope
  • Never runs destructive tests

It stops when

  • Done: all findings verified or risk accepted
  • Stop: retest window closed, reschedule

An example run

What happensThe March pen test listed 14 findings. By April 20, teams had marked 11 fixed. The agent ran safe retests in the Tuesday window and confirmed 9. One check failed: an access control flaw still let the support role view another tenant's invoice list. The agent reopened it with the request and response. The fix landed April 27, the retest passed, and the engineer approved the summary.
