# How it Works

Catchify makes it easy to manage penetration testing from start to finish, all within one secure platform.

Here’s how a typical workflow looks:

* You create a new pentest request and select the target assets
* A Catchify engineer reviews the scope and provides a proposed plan
* You approve or request changes to the scope or timeline
* Once approved, the pentest is queued and scheduled
* On the scheduled start date, testing begins
* Your team receives real-time notifications for any discoveries
* You can log in any time to track progress, view reports, and add comments
* Findings are uploaded progressively to your dashboard
* You may request retesting through the platform once fixes are applied
* You can schedule recurring pentests based on your testing cycle

This streamlined process eliminates the need for back-and-forth emails and static reporting.\
Catchify ensures that findings are delivered as **actionable work items,** making remediation faster and more efficient.
