If you're a scaling company, and getting a manual pentest for SOC 2, you need a real manual pentest not some cheap automated scan that your a good CPA will advise against and clients will reject. We cut the high overhead and deliver a real, expert-driven penetration test on your web apps, external, and internal environments as prices that are affordable. The PDF report is audit-ready and delivered fast. Get the security you need without the ridiculous sticker shock.
SOC 2 pentesting is a penetration test performed against the systems and infrastructure covered by your SOC 2 audit. A SOC 2 penetration test goes beyond automated vulnerability scanning by using certified ethical hackers to manually probe your web applications, APIs, external networks, internal networks, and cloud environments for real exploitable weaknesses. The goal is to provide your auditor with evidence that your security controls are actually working, not just that they exist on paper. For companies pursuing SOC 2 Type I or SOC 2 Type II compliance, a thorough pentest validates your security posture and satisfies the trust service criteria around security, availability, and confidentiality.
Automated vulnerability scans flag known CVEs and surface-level misconfigurations. They have their place, but they are not a penetration test. A manual pentest for SOC 2 uses OSCP-certified ethical hackers who think like attackers. They chain together vulnerabilities, test business logic flaws, attempt privilege escalation, and validate whether your access controls actually hold up under pressure. That is the level of evidence a knowledgeable auditor and your enterprise clients expect to see. If your SOC 2 report only shows automated scan results, a sophisticated client or auditor will push back. We deliver manual, expert-driven SOC 2 penetration testing that holds up to scrutiny, every time.
Every SOC 2 penetration test we perform is scoped to your specific environment. We cover the assets that your auditor and your clients care about most. Our SOC 2 pentesting scope typically includes external network penetration testing to assess your public-facing infrastructure for exploitable entry points, web application penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, broken authentication, and insecure API endpoints, internal network penetration testing to evaluate your defenses against insider threats and lateral movement once inside the network, and cloud penetration testing for AWS, Azure, or GCP environments to uncover IAM misconfigurations, exposed storage, and insecure network architecture. We scope each SOC 2 pentest precisely so you only pay for what your audit demands. No upsells, no unnecessary line items.
Your SOC 2 pentest report is the deliverable your auditor reviews. It has to be clear, comprehensive, and professional. Every penetration test report we deliver includes an executive summary written for non-technical stakeholders and auditors, detailed findings ranked by severity with CVSS scoring, step-by-step proof of exploitation so your team understands exactly what was found, remediation guidance with specific, actionable steps to fix each vulnerability, and a methodology section documenting the tools, techniques, and standards used during testing. The report is delivered as a clean PDF that is ready to hand directly to your CPA firm or auditor. No reformatting, no back-and-forth. Our clients consistently tell us the report alone saves them hours of audit prep time.
Whether you are pursuing a SOC 2 Type I or SOC 2 Type II report, pentesting plays a critical role. For SOC 2 Type I, a pentest provides a point-in-time snapshot that validates the design of your security controls. For SOC 2 Type II, which evaluates the operating effectiveness of controls over a period of time, regular penetration testing demonstrates ongoing security diligence. Many organizations schedule annual SOC 2 pentests to align with their audit cycle. We work with both first-time SOC 2 companies getting their initial Type I report and mature organizations maintaining their Type II compliance year over year. Either way, the engagement is fast, affordable, and built around your audit timeline.
SOC 2 pentesting is relevant for any organization that stores, processes, or transmits customer data and needs to demonstrate security to clients and auditors. SaaS companies are the most common, but we also work with fintech startups, healthcare technology firms, managed service providers (MSPs), data analytics platforms, and B2B service companies. If your enterprise clients are asking for a SOC 2 report before signing a contract, a penetration test is almost always part of the conversation. We work with companies at every stage, from pre-revenue startups getting their first SOC 2 to established firms renewing annually.
Most companies overpay for SOC 2 pentesting because large firms bundle it with consulting overhead, account management layers, and inflated timelines. We do things differently. Our SOC 2 pentest pricing is transparent and based on the actual scope of work. External network pentests start at $2,000, web application pentests start at $3,000, and internal network pentests start at $3,000. We also offer an AI-powered automated pentest option starting at $500 for organizations that need a faster, budget-friendly assessment. Every engagement includes a free remediation retest within 90 days. You get the same caliber of certified pentesters and audit-ready reports that the big firms charge two to three times more for.
A: There is no specific control requiring manual pentesting. Although it is usually assumed that is what you are doing when a client or frame work demands to see a SOC 2 report. Automated scans leave massive gaps and give your client an reason to push back.
A: Most clients need what they are using, if that is a web application, an external system, and internal pentesting. We scope it precisely so you only pay for what your audit needs.
A: No high overhead, no bloated sales team. We only charge for certified pentesters and a clean, audit-ready report. That's it.
A: All pentests come with a retest on the originally scoped assets within 90 days to ensure atching has been accomplished
A: Most SOC 2 pentests are completed within 3 to 7 business days depending on scope. A standard web app and external network pentest can often be completed within a week. We deliver the final report shortly after testing wraps up so you are not waiting around for your audit.
A: Most organizations perform SOC 2 pentesting annually to align with their audit cycle. If you have a SOC 2 Type II report, annual pentesting demonstrates ongoing security diligence to your auditor. Some companies with rapidly changing environments opt for semi-annual or quarterly testing.
A: Technically, SOC 2 does not explicitly require a manual penetration test. However, most enterprise clients and experienced auditors expect one. A vulnerability scan identifies known weaknesses but does not attempt to exploit them or test business logic. A manual pentest goes deeper, validating whether those vulnerabilities are actually exploitable and identifying issues that scanners miss entirely. If you want your SOC 2 report to hold up under client scrutiny, a manual pentest is the standard.
A: Every Affordable Pentesting engagement is performed by certified ethical hackers holding OSCP, CEH, or CISSP certifications. These are experienced professionals who perform penetration testing full-time, not junior analysts running automated tools. Your SOC 2 pentest is conducted by someone who understands how auditors evaluate findings and how to structure a report that answers the right questions.
