Sample Reports: Pentest and SOC 2 Gap Assessment

Penetration Test Report

PDF · 15 pages

A web application test with nine findings, from a critical authorization flaw down to informational.

Coverage table naming nine test areas, what was done in each and the result, so an area with no findings reads as tested rather than skipped
Method aligned to the OWASP Testing Guide and the Penetration Testing Execution Standard
Severity colour coded throughout, with the full CVSS vector beside our own rating
Request and response pairs, application logs and enumeration results under each finding
Retest evidence proving each fix, and what the report does not claim

Phase 1 Gap Assessment

PDF · 25 pages

A SOC 2 readiness assessment across four Trust Services Categories, assessing all 56 criteria in scope individually.

Engagement decisions taken at kickoff, and the state definitions every position is judged against
Executive summary with the headline counts, then position by control family
Every criterion assessed individually: state, observation, and a cross-reference to the finding it raised
Findings register with severity, state and the criteria each one affects
Remediation roadmap grouped by what it costs to close, plus the policies and artifacts the gaps require

Security Assessment Attestation

PDF · 4 pages

The signed letter issued after a security engagement, for a customer, an insurer or a buyer who asks what was done.

What was tested, and the boundary around it
What was found by severity, and what was remediated and independently verified
What the letter is not: no audit opinion, no certification, no accredited attestation
The signature block as issued
A specimen mark on every page and across the signature itself

Read the sample Security testing

All three are specimens. The client, the systems, the findings and the dates in these documents are invented for illustration, and every page says so. The attestation letter carries a specimen mark across every page as well, because a short signed letter is the one document here somebody might try to pass off as real. Nothing in either report describes a real organisation, a real engagement, or a real vulnerability in anyone's software. What is real is the structure: the sections, the ordering, the level of detail and the way a finding is written.

Wondering how to read one? What a security deliverable actually looks like walks through both, and what separates a report worth paying for from a tool export with a logo on it.
