Our Story
The story behind Capture The Bug
Purpose-Built for Modern SaaS
Capture The Bug is a security testing platform purpose-built for modern SaaS teams. Designed to replace outdated consulting models, our product delivers continuous, on-demand penetration testing through a streamlined, developer-friendly experience.
Our Mission
Built by cybersecurity and product experts, our mission is to make security scalable, efficient, and aligned with how modern software is actually built - fast, iterative, and cloud-native.
Global Reach
With a globally distributed team and a growing footprint across New Zealand, Australia, the U.K., the U.S., and India, we support companies of all sizes - from startups chasing their first compliance audit to enterprises rolling out new products at scale.
Platform, Not Project
Unlike traditional pentest vendors, Capture The Bug is a platform, not a project. We offer test orchestration, real-time results, triage workflows, and compliance-grade reporting - all in one place.
"Security should be continuous, product-integrated, and easy to access."
That's why we built Capture The Bug
Passion For Security
At Capture The Bug, cybersecurity isn't just our focus - it's our foundation. We design every feature, workflow, and decision around protecting what matters most: your data, your users, and your momentum. Security isn't a checkbox. It's a commitment.
Growth Mindset
The threat landscape changes daily - and so do we. Our growth mindset drives constant iteration, learning, and platform upgrades. It's how we stay ahead of attackers and ahead of the curve.
Determination
We don't shy away from complexity. Whether it's testing hardened environments or supporting critical fixes, we show up with grit and follow-through - delivering real security outcomes, not just reports.
Empathy
Security can be frustrating. We get it. That's why we build tools that work with developers, not against them - transforming friction into flow and blockers into solutions.
Integrity
Trust is earned - and protected. We hold ourselves to the highest ethical, technical, and privacy standards, ensuring every pentest, report, and remediation recommendation is honest, verified, and defensible.
