SOC 2 Driven Penetration Testing
Penetration testing aligned with SOC 2 requirements
What this engagement covers
The service
SOC 2 audits require annual penetration testing to validate security controls. Our SOC 2 driven penetration testing provides comprehensive assessment aligned with Trust Service Criteria and delivers auditor-ready documentation.
What we test
We assess your organization's systems and applications relevant to your SOC 2 scope, focusing on the security, availability, and confidentiality trust service criteria. Testing covers external networks, internal networks, web applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure.
Scoping & Assessment Depth
Black Box Assessment
Zero-KnowledgeSimulates an external adversary targeting SOC 2 Driven Penetration Testing with no internal credentials, source code, or architecture documentation. Assesses perimeter exposure, unauthenticated attack paths, and edge resilience.
Gray Box Assessment (Recommended)
CredentialedSimulates an authenticated user, tenant, or insider threat within SOC 2 Driven Penetration Testing. We evaluate role segregation, authorization boundaries, privilege escalation, and business logic flaws across user tiers.
White Box / Source-Assisted
Full-KnowledgeConducted with direct access to architecture schematics, configuration files, and API/code documentation. Eliminates blind spots and provides exhaustive coverage of security mechanisms governing SOC 2 Driven Penetration Testing.

Missing Security Patches
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Missing Security Patches across your SOC 2 Driven Penetration Testing environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Inadequate Access Controls
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Inadequate Access Controls across your SOC 2 Driven Penetration Testing environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Data Exposure Risks
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Data Exposure Risks across your SOC 2 Driven Penetration Testing environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Insufficient Monitoring
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Insufficient Monitoring across your SOC 2 Driven Penetration Testing environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
How we run it
Our testing methodology is specifically designed to satisfy SOC 2 auditor requirements. We provide detailed documentation, clear risk ratings, and comprehensive evidence that demonstrates your commitment to security. Our reports are structured to facilitate smooth audit processes.

Audit-ready documentation and reporting
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting audit-ready documentation and reporting across your soc 2 driven penetration testing deployment.
What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.
- Auditor-ready penetration testing report
- Executive summary for stakeholders
- Detailed technical findings with evidence
- TSC control testing results
- Risk register and prioritization
- Remediation verification testing
- Compliance attestation letter
- Annual testing certification
What we usually find
The issues this engagement surfaces most often. Yours will differ, but this is the shape of it.
Who this is for
Auditor-Ready Compliance Crosswalk
| Framework | Control Section | Testing Evidence & Report Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| NIST Cybersecurity Framework | PR.AC, DE.CM, RS.AN | Technical testing verifying access controls, anomaly detection efficacy, and incident response mitigation capabilities. |
| ISO/IEC 27001:2022 | Control A.8.8 & A.8.20 | Management of technical vulnerabilities and network security verification through independent technical assessments. |
Findings are mapped to SOC 2 Type II, AICPA TSC, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers on scoping, methodology, compliance validation, and deliverables.
Our SOC 2 Driven Penetration Testing service combines deep manual testing with automated verification. We cover: Auditor-ready penetration testing report, Executive summary for stakeholders, Detailed technical findings with evidence, TSC control testing results, Risk register and prioritization. Every engagement includes reproducible proof-of-concept exploits, developer-ready remediation guidance, and a free retest.
Yes. Findings are directly mapped to SOC 2 Type II, AICPA TSC, NIST CSF, ISO 27001 control requirements. The resulting report is auditor-ready and formatted for immediate submission to SOC 2 CPAs, PCI QSAs, and enterprise vendor risk assessment teams.
Yes. Every Lorikeet Security engagement includes free retesting within 30 to 60 days to validate that your remediation patches successfully resolve the identified vulnerabilities before your final report is issued.
Typical active testing turnaround is 1-2 weeks, with critical findings reported immediately via your Talon portal so your engineering team can begin remediation without waiting for the final PDF.
Pricing starts from $7,599. We scope the engagement in one call based on your environment's surface area, user roles, and complexity, providing a transparent, fixed-price quote with no hidden change orders.
