That's PJ — a real human in Solana Beach.
Text him directly, usually same hour.

DAST that tests the real app, not your patience.

DAST attacks your running app from the outside like a hacker would — catching the runtime and auth/interface bugs SAST can't see. But pointed at the wrong env or untuned, it breaks CI or finds nothing. SideGuy sets it up to find what matters.

Straight to PJ's phone (858-461-8054). Tap, hit send, PJ replies with the next step. No sales call.

What you get

• Tool selection by app type — the right DAST for your web app / API and CI — OWASP ZAP, Burp, StackHawk
• Staging/test setup — pointed at the right environment with the right auth so it actually exercises your app
• CI integration without breakage — tuned scans that run in the pipeline and gate on real findings, not flaky noise
• Pen-test + audit mapping — findings mapped to your SOC 2 / NIST vulnerability-management controls
• The human layer — SideGuy owns the setup + tuning; you own continuous runtime coverage

Pointing a scanner at prod isn't DAST. Setup is.

DAST is powerful and easy to misconfigure — wrong env, no auth, or so noisy it gets muted. SideGuy stands it up against the right target with the right auth and tunes it to find real runtime bugs, in CI, without breaking deploys. Operator-honest, hourly, yours to keep.

A real human in Solana Beach, North County San Diego — available by text, no offshore account-manager carousel. SideGuy is operator help for DAST setup and tuning — it complements, and does not replace, a human penetration test. We make the operational side real.
