SOC 2 Penetration Testing

Penetration testing that produces the evidence your SOC 2 auditor expects — mapped to the Trust Services Criteria and aligned to your audit window.

The requirement, in plain terms.

SOC 2 doesn't name penetration testing in a single line item the way PCI does — but auditors and enterprise customers expect a recent third-party pentest as evidence for the Trust Services Criteria around monitoring and vulnerability management.

TRUST SERVICES CRITERIA

Pentest evidence supports CC4.1 (monitoring), CC6.1 (logical access), and CC7.1 / CC7.2 (detecting and responding to vulnerabilities).

FREQUENCY

Annually, aligned to your Type II audit window. Many customers and auditors expect testing within the last 12 months.

Why teams choose us for SOC 2.

01EVIDENCE, NOT JUST A REPORT

We format findings as evidence your auditor can drop straight into the audit — control references, scope, methodology, and retest documentation included.

02WRITTEN FOR TWO AUDIENCES

An executive summary your auditor and customers can read, plus the technical depth your engineers need to remediate.

03ALIGNED TO YOUR AUDIT WINDOW

We schedule around your Type II observation window so the evidence is current when the auditor needs it.

Starting at $15,000.

Final scope depends on the number of applications and APIs in scope, your cloud footprint, and your audit timeline. We set final scope and price on a 30-minute call — no obligation.

SOC 2 pentest questions.

01Does SOC 2 actually require a penetration test?+

SOC 2 doesn't mandate it by name, but auditors and enterprise customers expect a recent third-party pentest as evidence for the Trust Services Criteria around vulnerability management and access control. In practice, it's required to pass.

02Which Trust Services Criteria do you map to?+

Primarily CC4.1, CC6.1, CC7.1, and CC7.2. We reference the specific criteria each finding supports so your auditor can use the report directly.

Within your Type II observation window, so the evidence is current. Book the scoping call as soon as you know your audit dates.

The number of in-scope applications and APIs, your cloud footprint, and timeline. Engagements start at $15,000.
