Frequently Asked Questions

Learn how Hadrian helps security teams find, verify, and fix what attackers actually exploit.

What is a Nova pentest?

Nova is an agentic penetration test powered by AI. It performs the same techniques a skilled human pentester would, including reconnaissance, exploitation and lateral movement, but faster and with full transparency into every step taken.

How long does a test take?

Most tests complete within 24 to 48 hours depending on scope. You receive access to the Hadrian platform to see your results and get a compliance-ready pdf report.

What's included in the report?

Every finding includes proof of exploitability, reproduction steps, risk context and remediation guidance. Results map to compliance frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001 and NIS2.

How is Nova different from a traditional pentest?

Traditional pentests require weeks of scheduling, depend on individual tester skill and deliver a static PDF at the end. Nova launches on demand, tests consistently every time and gives you full visibility into the AI's reasoning, tests performed and evidence collected.

How much does a Nova test cost?

Each test starts at 3,000 EUR. Bundles are available for teams planning multiple tests. Reach out for a custom quote based on your scope and frequency.

See pricing page for more information.

Can I use Nova alongside Atlas?

Yes. Atlas provides continuous external exposure management, monitoring your attack surface and validating exposures around the clock. Nova adds depth with on-demand penetration tests scoped to specific environments or compliance requirements. Together they give you both breadth and depth.
