Compliance Penetration Testing

Meet PCI, HIPAA, and SOC 2 Requirements with Professional Security Testing

Penetration testing specifically designed to comply with regulatory and industry standards.

Modern compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2 mandate regular penetration testing to validate security controls and protect sensitive data. Our manual penetration testing goes beyond automated scanners to identify complex vulnerabilities and attack vectors that could compromise regulated environments and sensitive data. While automated tools can find surface-level issues, they miss sophisticated attack chains and business logic flaws that require human expertise to satisfy compliance requirements.

Our experienced penetration testers use industry-standard methodologies and the same techniques as real attackers, providing you with compliant security assessments that meet regulatory standards including PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2. With over a decade in business and thousands of clients served, we help organizations achieve and maintain compliance while discovering critical issues before attackers exploit them.

    Assessment of wireless access points and network security
  • Social Engineering Susceptibility

    Testing human factors that could lead to data compromise

Our Compliance Testing Process

  1. Align on scope

    We'll ask you a few simple questions about what needs to be tested and align with you on your objectives and timeline.

  2. Testing period

    Your dedicated pentester will generally spend about one week searching for vulnerabilities and exposures.

  3. Report & remediation

    We'll provide a detailed report on the issues we found and recommendations for remediation.

  4. Retest and validate

    After issues are resolved, we'll retest to confirm that the issues are no longer present.


Frequently Asked Questions

How much does compliance penetration testing cost?

Compliance penetration testing starts at $4,975 and varies based on cardholder data environment complexity and scope. We provide fixed-price quotes with no hidden fees after our free scoping call.

Factors that affect pricing:

  • Size and complexity of regulated data environment
  • Number of network segments requiring testing
  • Applications that store, process, or transmit regulated data
  • Specific compliance requirements (PCI, HIPAA, SOC 2, etc.)

Every quote includes comprehensive testing, PCI-compliant reporting, remediation support, and one round of retesting.

How does PCI compliance testing differ from regular penetration testing?

PCI compliance penetration testing follows specific requirements outlined in PCI DSS 11.3:

  • Scope Definition: Testing must cover the entire cardholder data environment and connected systems
  • Methodology Requirements: Must follow industry-accepted penetration testing approaches
  • Network Segmentation Testing: Validation that network segmentation is sufficient to reduce PCI scope
  • Documentation Standards: Detailed reporting requirements including remediation guidance

Our testing methodology specifically addresses PCI DSS requirements while providing comprehensive security validation.

What compliance standards and frameworks do you support?

Our penetration testing supports multiple compliance frameworks and standards:

  • PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
  • SOC 2 Type II security control validation
  • HIPAA security rule compliance testing

We adapt our testing methodology and reporting to meet your specific compliance requirements.

How often do we need to conduct compliance penetration testing?

Testing frequency depends on your compliance requirements:

  • PCI DSS: At least annually and after significant infrastructure changes
  • SOC 2: Annually or as required by audit schedule
  • HIPAA: Periodic testing as part of security risk assessment
  • Best Practice: Consider quarterly testing for high-risk environments

We can help you establish a testing schedule that meets your compliance obligations and security needs.

Do you provide audit support and documentation?

Yes, we provide comprehensive audit support throughout the compliance process:

  • PCI DSS compliant penetration testing reports
  • Official attestation letters for audit submission
  • Executive summaries for management reporting
  • Technical remediation guidance for IT teams

Our documentation is designed to satisfy auditor requirements and demonstrate compliance with applicable standards.

Do you provide ongoing support after testing?

Yes, we provide comprehensive support throughout the remediation process:

  • Direct access to your penetration tester for questions
  • Clarification on findings and compliance implications
  • Guidance for teams implementing security fixes
  • Included retesting to verify successful remediation

Our goal is not just to identify vulnerabilities, but to help you achieve and maintain compliance.
