• Multi cloud support: Yes

Service scope

• Software add-on or extension: No
• Cloud deployment model:
  • Public cloud

Onboarding and offboarding

• Getting started: Users are supported from the outset through a combination of documentation, guided workflows, and platform‑embedded onboarding. The vPenTest web portal provides clear guidance for creating organisations, inviting admin or standard users, and deploying internal agents, helping new users navigate setup with minimal effort. The platform includes step‑by‑step wizards for scheduling both internal and external assessments, enabling users to begin penetration testing quickly without requiring specialist expertise.; Comprehensive online documentation covers user management, agent deployment, assessment configuration, and reporting functions, ensuring users can self‑serve onboarding tasks effectively. vPenTest also accelerates adoption by providing real‑time activity visibility, helping users understand assessment behaviour and correlate results with existing security tools.; For administrators, global settings allow configuration of basic and advanced assessment parameters—including discovery methods and port‑scan speed—supporting consistent setup across multiple assessments.; vPenTest is designed for rapid activation: once the agent VM is deployed, users can simply schedule their first test and download reports within 48 hours. Online support and ticketing are also available where assistance is required.
• Service documentation: Yes
• Documentation formats:
  • HTML
  • PDF
• End-of-contract data extraction: Users can extract all assessment data before contract end by downloading completed penetration‑test reports directly from the vPenTest portal in their preferred formats. Real‑time activity logs generated during assessments can also be exported or correlated with existing SIEM/logging systems prior to service closure. Users manage their own organisations and reports, ensuring they can retrieve all documentation before access is removed. Once the service terminates, remaining tenant data is no longer accessible, so exporting reports and logs beforehand is essential.
• End-of-contract process: At contract end, users can download all penetration‑test reports and assessment data directly from the vPenTest portal before access is removed. Included in the contract price are core platform capabilities such as automated internal/external penetration testing, reporting, agent deployment, and real‑time activity visibility. Additional costs may apply for enhanced support, IP‑block expansions, or service packages, as vPenTest offers flexible, scalable pricing models for MSPs and larger environments.

Scaling

• Independence of resources: VPenTest is delivered as a multi‑tenant SaaS platform, designed so each customer operates in a logically isolated environment. Multi‑tenant systems prevent one organisation’s workloads from affecting another through tenant‑level isolation, enforced across the application stack and data model. Horizontal scaling of shared infrastructure ensures workloads automatically expand to meet demand, maintaining consistent performance regardless of activity from other tenants. This architecture guarantees that high usage by one customer does not degrade the service experience for others.

Availability and resilience

• Guaranteed availability: Kaseya operates on a highly available, globally distributed cloud platform with 99.9% uptime. We recognise this SLA and reflect it in our offering. If they SLA drops below 99.9%, we would credit a proportion of the percentage to further billing.
• Approach to resilience: Kaseya Vonahi vPenTest is architected to ensure continuity, withstand disruption, and maintain service delivery even during outages or cyberattacks. Its resilience comes from a combination of multi‑tenant cloud infrastructure, integrated disaster recovery, immutable backups, and automated failover capabilities.; Further information is available on request.
• Outage reporting: Kaseya reports outages through a Partner‑only Data Center Status dashboard and email notifications for maintenance and service advisories. There is no publicly accessible outage dashboard and no official outage‑specific API. Operational alerts are also available within the Kaseya Vonahi vPentTest console for tenant‑level issues.

Governance is led by an executive sponsor and an Information Security Lead who maintains the risk register and reports KPIs/KRIs. Policy adherence is enforced via technical controls (MFA, RBAC, logging), training, periodic reviews (access and patch compliance), and exception management with time-bound risk acceptance.
• Vulnerability management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Vulnerability management approach: We run a risk-based vulnerability management process aligned to UK NCSC guidance: maintain an asset inventory, scan regularly, triage and prioritise findings, ensure senior ownership of exceptions, and verify remediation. We prioritise vulnerabilities with evidence of active exploitation using CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalogue, alongside CVE/NVD severity and vendor advisories. We apply an “update by default” approach and patch as soon as possible, with target timelines of 24–72 hours.
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: We use layered protective monitoring with automated alerts and analyst triage. We monitor security‑relevant events (logins/admin actions, configuration changes, endpoint/backup alerts) and use runbooks to spot indicators of compromise such as anomalous access, repeated failures, suspicious privilege changes, or tampering patterns. When a potential compromise is detected, we validate and scope it, preserve evidence, and contain risk (e.g., disable accounts, revoke tokens/keys, isolate affected endpoints) before eradication and recovery from known‑good backups. Response targets: P1 15–60 mins, P2 ≤4 hours, P3 ≤1 business day, P4 2–5 business days.
• Incident management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402

Users can report incidents through our support portal, email, or by phone, where each case is logged and triaged by severity. For any confirmed incident, we provide an incident report outlining impact, timeline, actions taken, and remediation steps. Post‑incident reviews ensure improvements are implemented.
