What Xcape does

Xcape, Inc. is a privately held cybersecurity and managed IT services provider founded in 2006 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The company operates across four main business pillars: (1) penetration testing products and services including Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) and proprietary hardware devices; (2) Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR); (3) full Managed Service Provider (MSP) IT support; and (4) Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) cellular services. Xcape serves small and medium businesses, enterprises, government entities, law firms, residential customers, and IoT/M2M developers, with delivery through direct sales, a 100+ market nationwide white-label MSP partner network, and on-site operations in Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco.

The company's technical core is the proprietary XBMAS (Xcape Blended Methodology Adversary Simulation) engine, which automates 70% of traditional penetration testing work including reconnaissance, asset enumeration, and vulnerability scanning across more than 50 integrated tools, layered with MITRE ATT&CK methodology. Xcape has also developed a hardware product line consisting of the Pentest Dongle 2G, PiRAT, Pentest Server 4G, NetNinja, NetMaxX, and VariHaul devices, which enable remote pentesting deployments and cellular failover routing. The MVNO business leverages T-Mobile and Verizon 5G/LTE-Advanced networks with priority access, no throttling, and flat-rate $8/GB data across 266 countries. The company operates with 11-50 employees, is bootstrapped (no disclosed funding rounds), and is founder-led by CEO Tj McClearin.

Xcape's revenue model blends recurring subscriptions with usage-based professional services and one-time hardware sales. MSP support contracts span five tiers from $500/month (Basic, 5 devices) to $15,000/month (Enterprise, 400 devices); PTaaS subscriptions range from $625/month (Start-Up, 5 hosts) to $10,000/month (Professional, 200 hosts) with an Enterprise tier priced on contact. DFIR and security consulting bill at $350-500/hour, tech support at $69-199/hour, and consulting at $100-350/hour. Hardware products sell one-time at $299.99-$1,799.99.
