A SOC 2 pentest report built for the standards your auditor checks
Your auditor will ask for a SOC 2 pentest report
Most SOC 2 audits do. A cheap scan or a sloppy write-up often means rework, a rushed retest, or pushing your Type II date. Here is what usually trips teams up, what firms look for, and how we handle it.
The problem
Where teams get stuck
Cheap pentests and late reports are the usual reasons audits slip.
- Scan sold as a pentest
- Thin methodology, rejected in review
- Findings without severity or context
- No retest after fixes
- Report arrives after the audit window
The bar
What auditors look for
Most firms want the same evidence shape, even if the wording differs.
- Manual testing, not tools alone
- Documented methodology (OWASP baseline)
- Rated findings, often CVSS
- Exec summary plus technical detail
- Evidence that critical issues were fixed
