How to Request a Rescan After Fixing the Found Vulnerabilities

Once you've fixed the vulnerabilities identified during a manual pentest, you can request a rescan to verify the fixes. Astra's security engineers will review and validate the remediations applied by your team.

Rescan Period (Validity)

For manual rescans following a manual penetration test, you have a 30-day window from the date vulnerabilities are reported to request a rescan. After this period, the rescan request will expire and may require an additional purchase, depending on your subscription plan.

Types of Rescan

There are two types of rescans available:

1. Manual Rescan – For vulnerabilities found during a manual pentest. These are verified by Astra’s security experts.

2. Automated Rescan – For vulnerabilities discovered via Astra’s automated scanner.
