Attackers move from initial compromise to exfiltration in about an hour. Most teams still pentest once a year, leaving a 365-day Window of Exposure between when a vulnerability is introduced and when it's actually fixed and validated. This guide gives security buyers an 8-dimension, 30+ question evaluation framework + a weighted scoring worksheet helping them to choose a AI pentest vendor.

Inside the Guide:

• Score Vendors on 8 Weighted Dimensions: covering context, continuity, transparency, integration, and reporting — weighted because you're pointing an autonomous attacker at your own perimeter.
• Ask the 30+ Questions: Each dimension comes with the exact questions to ask plus a "What a strong answer looks like" callout from "how does the agent chain low-severity findings into a critical attack path" to "can you cryptographically guarantee our code never trains a shared LLM."
• Walk Out with a Live Scoring Worksheet: Use the included scorecard to rate every vendor 1–5 across the same dimensions during their demo so you compare on what matters, not on who presents better.
