What a SOC 2 pentest actually is
It is a person, not a scanner, trying to break into your app the same way a real attacker would. They look for weak passwords, broken access checks, ways to read other customers' data, and anything else that should not be possible.
When they finish, you get a report that shows what they tried, what worked, what did not, and how to fix the problems. Your auditor reads that report and checks the box for the security part of your SOC 2.
It turns "we have security" into "here is the evidence that proves it." That is the line your auditor is waiting for.
Why your auditor wants one
A SOC 2 auditor cannot just take your word that your app is secure. They need outside proof. A scanner is not enough because scanners only find known issues. A real person can chain small problems together into a big one. That is what auditors want documented.
Most modern SOC 2 audits now require a real pentest, not just a scan. If you skip it, expect pushback or a qualified report. We cover the difference in scan versus pentest.
What it costs
No discovery call required. Pick the tier that matches what you have.
- $5,000. One SaaS web app, a handful of user roles. Most early-stage startups.
- $7,500 to $12,000. Web app plus your external network plus a quick cloud config review.
- $12,000 to $20,000. Multi-app SaaS with an API and AWS or Azure in scope.
- $20,000+. Bigger company, multiple products, or hybrid on-prem and cloud setup.
The big firms charge $15,000 to $25,000 just to get started because they have enterprise overhead. We do not. Same senior testers, none of the marble lobby.

How it works, day by day
- Send us your scope. Fill out the quote form. We send a fixed-price proposal the same day. No calls required for standard SaaS scopes.
- Sign and kick off in 48 hours. You sign, we schedule, our senior tester starts within two business days.
- We test for 5 days. Manual exploitation plus automated coverage. If we find anything critical, you hear about it that same day, not at the end.
- Audit-ready report on day 7. Executive summary, every finding with a fix, and a clean handoff document for your auditor.
What you do with the report
Receiving the report is the start, not the end. Your auditor wants to see four things after we send it over:
- A short list of what you fixed first (anything critical or high).
- Proof of the fix (a ticket, a screenshot, a code change).
- A clean retest. We include this so the report you hand your auditor shows zero open critical or high issues.
- That this is a process you run every year, not a one-time fire drill.

Frequently asked
How fast can you really start?
48 hours from a signed proposal for standard SaaS scopes. We hold open capacity every single week for urgent audit deadlines. If your audit is in 2 weeks, you can still get a clean report in time.
Will my auditor accept the report?
Yes. Our reports follow the standard format every SOC 2 auditor expects. If your auditor has questions, our lead tester will join a call with them at no extra charge. We have not had a report rejected.
Is a vulnerability scan enough?
No. A scan finds known issues. A pentest proves whether they can actually be used to break in. Auditors expect the second one. The first one is helpful but not enough on its own.
What if you find something serious?
We tell you the same day, not at the end. That gives you time to fix it before we wrap up so the final report is cleaner.
Do you retest after we fix things?
Yes, and it is included. Once you fix the critical and high issues, we run a quick retest and update the report so it shows clean. That is the version your auditor sees.
We are a SaaS company. Is that your sweet spot?
Yes. Most of our SOC 2 work is SaaS. Web app, API, AWS or Azure. Multi-tenant. That is our default.
