Pentest & CertificatePenetration testing for small systems with a verifiable security certificate — built for small businesses
Have your online store, mobile app or business API assessed by an AFTA-licensed team before connecting to a payment gateway, partnering with banks and organizations, or bidding on tenders. Once critical and high findings are fixed, you receive a penetration test certificate with a unique ID and QR code that anyone can verify online.

Three Reasons to Test Before Launch
Customer & Partner Trust
Banks, payment providers and contracting organizations commonly ask for a pentest report or certificate before integration. A credible certificate shortens that path.
Find It Before Attackers Do
Flaws such as injection, authentication bypass, broken access control and data leaks are found and fixed — with concrete guidance — before an attacker finds them.
Verifiable Certificate
Every certificate carries a unique ID and QR code and can be checked on our verification page — your customer or partner can confirm it in seconds.
What We Test
From Request to Certificate
Request & Scope
We review your system and agree exactly what will be tested.
Agreement & Authorization
Contract, NDA and written authorization to test.
Pentest — 7–10 days
For a typical system, the controlled assessment takes 7–10 days without disrupting service.
Report & Fixes
A report with severity, evidence and remediation steps for your developers.
Fix & Retest
Your team fixes the findings and we retest; this phase through certification takes about 14 days.
Certificate Issued
A certificate with a unique ID and QR is issued, sent to you and verifiable immediately.
How It Differs from AFTA Lab Evaluation
PAZH Pentest Certificate
- Best for
- Small businesses, online stores, startups and apps
- Purpose
- Proof of pentest and remediation for customers, banks or partners
- Timeline
- 7–10 days testing + ~14 days to certificate
- Cost
- Affordable, matched to scope
- Issuer
- PAZH Security, AFTA-licensed — verifiable online
AFTA-Accredited Lab Evaluation
- Best for
- Systems under AFTA oversight, critical infrastructure and government
- Purpose
- Formal security evaluation under AFTA requirements
- Timeline
- Usually longer, per lab process
- Cost
- Usually higher
- Issuer
- AFTA-accredited laboratory
If your system is under AFTA oversight or a client explicitly requires an AFTA lab certificate, ours does not replace it — we can run a pre-assessment so you arrive better prepared.

Common Questions
What is a pentest certificate and who needs one?
A document showing your system was assessed by a licensed expert team and no critical or high vulnerabilities remain. Businesses connecting to payment or banking systems, working with organizations or bidding on tenders commonly need one.
Will testing take my site down?
No. Testing runs in an agreed window with controlled methods; no destructive or denial-of-service attacks are used.
What if vulnerabilities are found?
You receive a full report with fixes. After remediation we retest, and once no critical or high findings remain, the certificate is issued.
How can a certificate be verified?
Scan the QR code on the certificate or enter its ID on our “Verify Certificate” page. The result shows whether it is valid, expired or not found.
How long does it take?
For a typical system, testing takes 7–10 days, followed by about 14 days for remediation, retesting and certification — roughly three to four weeks overall. Larger systems get an exact schedule after scoping.
How does this differ from an AFTA lab certificate?
Our certificate shows the system was penetration-tested by an AFTA-licensed team with no critical or high findings remaining; it is fast, affordable for small businesses and verifiable online. Evaluations by AFTA-accredited labs are a more formal, usually longer process for systems under AFTA oversight or where a client explicitly requires it. In that case our certificate does not replace it — but we can run a pre-assessment so you arrive better prepared.
