Penetration Testing

Cybersecurity for SaaS & Technology Companies

For SaaS and technology companies, security is part of the sale. Enterprise customers ask for a SOC 2 report, a recent penetration test and answers to long security questionnaires before they sign. We help you get there and stay there with SOC 2 readiness, application and cloud penetration testing, and fractional security leadership.

How we help SaaS companies

Manual testing of your web application, APIs and multi-tenant access controls, with a retest letter you can share with customers and auditors.

Cloud penetration testing and configuration reviews for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, focused on identity, permissions, data exposure and the controls auditors ask about.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a SaaS company need to pass enterprise security reviews?

Most enterprise buyers ask for a SOC 2 Type II report or ISO 27001 certificate, a recent third-party penetration test with a retest letter, and answers to a security questionnaire covering access control, encryption, incident response and vendor management.

If a customer is asking for something specific, start there. Otherwise, a gap assessment and a penetration test are often done together early, because the penetration test results feed into SOC 2 and customers usually want both.

Many companies are audit-ready within two to four months. A Type I report can follow soon after, and a Type II report covers an observation period that commonly runs three to twelve months.
