The terms for using pentestcompare.com: content, free tools, data, AI agent and API access, and how security testing is agreed. Operated by Excession Labs.

Effective 9 November 2026. PentestCompare (pentestcompare.com) is operated by Excession Labs. Contact: [support@excessionlabs.ai](mailto:support@excessionlabs.ai). By using this site you accept these terms. Our [privacy notice](/privacy/) explains what we collect.

## Content

The guides and research on this site are general information. They are not legal, audit or compliance advice for your organization. We cite sources and date our facts, but they can change after we check them.

## Free tools

This site offers the scoping checklist (/tools/scoping-checklist/). It runs in your browser and keeps your answers only in your browser's local storage. Tool output is general guidance, not advice for your organization.

## Provider data

The provider dataset (/data/providers.json, /data/providers.csv and github.com/Excession-Labs/pentest-provider-dataset) is licensed under MIT. Credit PentestCompare and link to the source. Each fact comes from the provider's own public pages, with the date we checked it. Providers change their pages, so check the source before you rely on a fact. To report an error, use the [correction form](/methodology/#corrections). Excession Labs publishes this site and also sells security testing; its own row is marked "Publisher-owned".

## AI agents and API access

Agents may read this site, its Markdown pages, llms.txt, the API catalog, the MCP server at /mcp and the A2A endpoint at /a2a. These are read-only. Keep request rates reasonable; we rate limit them. An agent key from /agent/auth can be revoked at any time. Agents must not submit our forms on behalf of a person or try to get around the human check on them.

## Security testing

Nothing on this site authorizes anyone to test a system. Excession Labs tests a system only under a separate written agreement, with a written scope and written authorization from the system owner.

## No warranty

The site, its content, tools and data are provided as they are, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. To the same extent, Excession Labs is not liable for losses that come from using them.

## Changes

We may change these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. Questions: [support@excessionlabs.ai](mailto:support@excessionlabs.ai).
