Compliance Penetration Testing

From $3,500 CAD · scoped to you

Auditors and enterprise buyers increasingly want a real penetration test, not a vulnerability scan.

Book a discovery call See pricing

We scope, run, and report a pen test built to satisfy SOC 2 and ISO 27001 evidence requirements, delivered with our testing partners, global and Canadian, whichever gives you the best value on the scope.

Delivered by a researcher with five published CVEs, including a CVSS 9.1 in the Mirai botnet.

Built for teams that...

  • Companies in a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit that need a pen test as evidence
  • SaaS and FinTech teams whose buyers require independent testing
  • Founders who want testing that produces an auditor-ready report, not just raw findings

What we do

  • Scoping aligned to your audit and the systems your buyers care about
  • Hands-on testing by a specialist partner firm, Canadian or global, chosen for your scope
  • An auditor-ready report with findings, severity, and evidence of testing
  • A remediation summary and, where useful, a retest of fixed issues
  • A clean attestation you can share with auditors and enterprise buyers

What you walk away with

You get a genuine, human-led penetration test and a report structured to drop straight into your SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence, plus real findings worth fixing, since the goal is security, not just a checkbox.

Frequently asked questions

Who actually performs the testing?

Hands-on testing is delivered by one of our testing partners, matched to your engagement; for Canadian clients that is usually a local firm pricing in CAD. You know who is doing the work before you sign, and we handle scoping, compliance alignment and reporting so the output fits your audit.

Does this satisfy SOC 2 and ISO 27001 requirements?

Yes. The test is scoped and reported specifically to serve as penetration-testing evidence for those frameworks. Confirm exact expectations with your auditor and we will align to them.

Is a pen test the same as a vulnerability scan?

No. A scan is automated and surface-level. A penetration test is human-led and attempts to actually exploit weaknesses, which is what auditors and serious buyers increasingly expect.

Do you retest after we fix issues?

A retest of remediated findings can be included so your report reflects the fixes. We scope this with you up front.

The workspace is included, not quoted

The price above covers the work. It also covers where the work lives, which most buyers are quoted separately as an annual platform subscription.

Exceptions on a SOC 2 Type II built from nothing in-house

Published vulnerability research

Five published CVEs. CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1) is a flaw in the Mirai botnet itself, which gave defenders a way to shut down attacker infrastructure. CVE-2026-42626 takes HP ENVY 5000 printers offline from any unauthenticated device on the same network.

The printer is the one that matters on a compliance page: an asset nobody counts as a computer, on a flat network, downed by a device that never had to log in. Auditors ask how controls fail. We have found out first-hand.

A SOC 2 Type II built from nothing

At Humera, a venture-backed US security company, Jacob built the compliance programme in-house from nothing: no report, no policies, no documented controls. It ended in a Type II attestation with zero exceptions.

The platform stayed in production throughout, which is the part most readiness projects get wrong: controls are easy to design and hard to retrofit onto a system people already depend on.

Recent engagements

For a Waterloo data centre operator we ran SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 together rather than one after the other, across a production campus, an AI compute platform and a self-hosted collaboration stack. Scoped so further Ontario and Quebec sites enter as they reach production. Findings delivered and remediated.

For an Ontario medtech company putting an AI clinical assistant in front of practitioners, we ran the gap analysis and built the evidence programme behind their SOC 2.
