PSA: We ship 37 deploys per week. The annual pentest model is cooked.

Got our SOC 2 Type II results back. Passed, but with a note that's now my problem: "Annual penetration testing provides point-in-time coverage. Does not address vulnerabilities introduced between testing cycles."No shit.We deploy 37 times per week on average. Our annual pentest is a $42K external engagement that takes 2 weeks and generates a report nobody reads past page 12. Do the math: ~1,900 production changes per year. One security review. Coverage of basically nothing. Here's what I'm stuck on: We can't afford to run the same pentest process quarterly ($168K/year). We definitely can't do it monthly. Per-deploy is fantasy.But the current model is fucked. We're basically shipping unvalidated code for 50 weeks, getting a snapshot that's outdated within days, and calling it "secure."
