Astra Security sells a vulnerability scanner and pentests, from autonomous pentests to manual testing by certified experts, with compliance-ready reports. Decloak takes a different route: a free no-account scan, flat plans where DAST and AI pentesting are included in Enterprise at £99/month, and client-side supply chain checks.
Decloak is an AI-powered web security intelligence platform that scans a site's HTTP/TLS posture, JavaScript, third-party scripts and exposed backends to produce a scored report anyone can read, with optional DAST and sandboxed AI pentesting on Enterprise.
