General Questions

Pentahub is a scoping and project intake platform built specifically for offensive security teams. It automates the presales process: extracting structured scope data from your notes and documents, gathering client requirements through digital questionnaires, calculating effort, and generating professional proposals and scoping documents in minutes.

Pentahub is designed for penetration testing teams, security consultancies, and independent pentesters who want to close deals faster and spend less time on presales paperwork. Whether you work solo or manage a team, the platform standardizes your scoping process and saves hours per engagement.

Pentahub solves the slow, inconsistent presales process that offensive security teams deal with every day: manually writing proposals from scratch, inconsistent effort estimates across team members, back-and-forth emails to gather client requirements, and hours spent formatting documents. The platform automates all of this so you can respond to opportunities faster and win more business.

Absolutely. Solo pentesters are one of our core users. Pentahub removes the presales overhead that eats into your billable time: no more writing proposals from scratch, manually calculating day rates, or chasing clients for requirements over email. You get the same professional output as a larger team, in a fraction of the time.

The Scoping Module

Paste in your scoping notes, meeting transcripts, RFP documents, or a URL and AI extracts structured project data: services, scope, goals, and prerequisites. From there you send a branded digital questionnaire to your client to fill in any gaps, review the calculated effort estimate, and generate a ready-to-send proposal and scoping document. The whole process takes minutes instead of hours.

Pentahub can read scoping notes, call or meeting transcripts, RFP documents, API specs such as Swagger or OpenAPI files, and web URLs such as a client application page. It extracts structured scope data from all of these so you never start from a blank page.

From the scoping module Pentahub generates professional sales proposals, scoping documents, effort and rate worksheets, and project kickoff documents. Output formats include PDF and DOCX, and templates can be customized to match your branding.

Yes. AI powers the core of the scoping module: it reads your raw input documents and extracts structured scope data, analyzes client survey responses, assists with effort estimation, and generates proposal content. You always review and confirm the output before anything is sent to a client.

About the Company

Pentahub is based in Belgium and is part of the Start It @ KBC accelerator program. The platform is built by practitioners with hands-on experience in the offensive security industry.

Pentahub was founded by Vinnie Vanhoecke, who built the platform based on firsthand experience working in offensive security, from presales through delivery. The platform solves problems he encountered daily in the industry.

The scoping module is just the beginning. Coming next is a workflow manager that will help you automate project setup and eliminate repetitive tasks: automatically creating projects, populating them with the right templates and checklists based on scope, and keeping your team moving without manual coordination. After that, test plan management and fieldwork progress tracking will give you end-to-end visibility from presales through delivery.

You can reach the team by email at contact@pentahub.com. For general inquiries, partnership discussions, or product feedback, this is the best way to get in touch.
