SOC 2 Pentesting for MSPs

SOC 2 has become the default trust signal for SaaS, fintech, and B2B service providers. Your clients aren't asking if they need a SOC 2 — their prospects and enterprise buyers are demanding it. The penetration test is one of the most scrutinized pieces of evidence in that audit, and a generic vulnerability scan won't pass review.

What SOC 2 actually expects from a pentest

The Trust Services Criteria don't prescribe a specific test, but auditors look for evidence under CC4.1 (control monitoring) and CC7.1 (vulnerability management) that the organization is identifying and remediating real attack paths. That means manual testing, documented methodology, validated findings, and proof of remediation. A Nessus scan stapled to a PDF won't cut it.

What you get with our SOC 2 pentest

• Manual external and internal testing performed by OSCP, CEH, and CREST certified pentesters
• Findings mapped to the relevant Trust Services Criteria so your auditor can connect the dots quickly
• A white-labeled report your client can hand directly to their CPA firm
• Free remediation testing once your client patches — auditors love seeing the closed-loop evidence
• Methodology documentation that satisfies CC4.1 process review

Type I vs Type II — and where we fit

Type I is a point-in-time snapshot. Type II covers a six to twelve month observation window. For Type I, one well-scoped pentest is usually enough to demonstrate that the control existed at audit time. For Type II, your client needs to show the program is operating consistently, which is why most of our partners schedule annual or continuous testing for SOC 2 clients. We make either model affordable.
