Penetration Testing Services for SOC 2, HIPAA & PCI DSS
SOC 2 Type II–aligned, HIPAA-ready, PCI DSS 11.4.x compliant pentests by OSCP-led offensive engineers — at 40–60% the TCO of US-only pure-plays. The same operators that ship for PayPal, IBM, Zapier, and Semrush.

What's included in a Certbar pen test
Every Certbar engagement is human-led offensive testing by OSCP / OSCE-certified engineers — no scanner-only output. We deliver a draft inside 5–7 business days for standard scope (single web app, single mobile app, network range up to /24), a final report mapped to MITRE ATT&CK + OWASP Top 10, a SOC 2 / HIPAA / PCI DSS letter where applicable, and a retest at no extra cost once you remediate.
Why US security teams pick Certbar
SOC 2 Type II audit letter included — drops straight into your service-auditor evidence pack (CC7.1, CC8.1).
HIPAA Security Rule §164.308(a)(8) evidence with PHI-handling narrative.
PCI DSS 4.0 Requirement 11.4.x report covering segmentation and external/internal scopes.
OSCP / OSCE-certified engineers — no junior offshoring, no scanner-only reports, no subcontracting.
40–60% lower TCO than US pure-plays for the same human-led depth — typical US web-app pentest USD 15–30k; Certbar same scope 6–12k.
Brand-name client wall: PayPal, IBM, Kia, Paytm, Meesho, Zapier, Semrush, Opera, Dhiwise.
Data residency on request — reports stored in your region, signed MSA + NDA, no subcontracting.

What we test
Eight pentest disciplines under one engagement
Web Application Pentest

Mobile App Pentest
iOS + Android, MASVS Level 2, IPC, keychain, biometric, root/jailbreak bypass.
API / REST + GraphQL
OWASP API Top 10, broken auth, BOLA, mass assignment, GraphQL-specific abuse.
Network Pentest
External + internal, perimeter, lateral movement, privilege escalation.
AWS / Azure / GCP
Cloud configuration audit + identity attack-path testing across providers.
Active Directory
Kerberoasting, ASREP-roast, ACL abuse, BloodHound-driven path analysis.
IoT Device Pentest
Firmware reverse, protocol analysis, hardware interface attack.
Thick-Client Pentest
Binary reverse, IPC, local privilege, broken crypto, hardcoded secrets.
Methodology
Six steps from scoping to sign-off
01
Scoping & Threat Model
We document assets, user roles, abuse cases, data classifications, and the framework you report against. Output: signed SoW, no surprise change-orders.
02
Reconnaissance & Mapping
Attack-surface enumeration: subdomains, services, exposed endpoints, third-party integrations, leaked credentials, OSINT.
03
Vulnerability Discovery
Hybrid automated + manual probing across OWASP / MASVS / API Top 10 / MITRE ATT&CK. Findings triaged for false positives before exploitation.
04
Exploitation & Lateral Movement
Hands-on exploitation by OSCP-led engineers. Chain weaknesses to demonstrate the business impact a real attacker would achieve.
05
Reporting & Board Brief
Two artefacts: a board-ready brief in business language and a technical report mapped to OWASP, CWE, MITRE ATT&CK + your compliance framework.
06
Retest & Sign-off
One free retest included. Updated report reflecting closed findings, signed off by the testing lead.
Compliance
Compliance-aligned deliverables
Tell us what your auditor needs and the deliverable is shaped to it on day one — not after a back-and-forth two weeks before the audit window closes.
SOC 2 Type II
Pen test letter + CC7.1 / CC8.1 mapping for your service auditor.
HIPAA Security Rule
§164.308(a)(8) evaluation evidence + PHI-handling narrative.
PCI DSS 4.0
Requirement 11.4.1–11.4.7 + segmentation testing report.
CMMC Level 2
Pen testing aligned to NIST 800-171 controls + DFARS 7012.
NIST 800-53
CA-8 (Penetration Testing) + RA-5 evidence for federal-facing systems.
FedRAMP Moderate
Annual penetration test mapped to FedRAMP rev 5 pen-test guidance.
Industries served
Delivered for regulated and unregulated sectors alike
Frequently asked
Questions buyers ask before signing
Do you deliver a SOC 2 pen test letter?+
Yes. The letter is included in every engagement and is formatted to drop into your service-auditor evidence pack — mapped to CC7.1 (Detection & Monitoring) and CC8.1 (Change Management). No extra charge, no separate scope.
Are reports HIPAA-evaluation ready?+
Yes. Reports include §164.308(a)(8) (Evaluation) evidence + a PHI-handling narrative — both required by HIPAA Security Rule auditors.
Do you cover PCI DSS 4.0 11.4.x including segmentation testing?+
Yes. External and internal scopes including 11.4.1 through 11.4.7 and segmentation-control testing. Output is formatted for your QSA's evidence pack.
How does pricing compare to US pure-plays?+
Same OSCP-led offensive engineering team, manual-only depth, 40–60% lower TCO than US-only firms (NetSPI, Bishop Fox, Trustwave). Typical US web-app pentest USD 15–30k; Certbar same scope USD 6–12k.
Where will my report data be stored?+
On request: US-region storage with signed MSA, DPA, BAA (for HIPAA scopes), and NDA. No subcontracting, no offshore data sharing outside the agreed region.
Do you outsource or subcontract testing?+
No. 100% in-house OSCP / OSCE / CRTO-certified engineers in India, working in your business hours when needed. Every report ships with the testing lead named.
Is a retest included?+
Yes. One free retest per engagement once you remediate, with an updated report reflecting closed findings. No change-orders.
What frameworks beyond SOC 2 / HIPAA / PCI DSS do you deliver against?+
CMMC Level 2, NIST 800-53 CA-8, FedRAMP Moderate, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27701, GDPR / DPDPA, and CERT-In. Tell us which applies and the deliverable is shaped to it.
Why choose Certbar over a US-only firm?+
Same OSCP-led manual depth as US pure-plays, brand-name client wall (PayPal, IBM, Zapier, Semrush, Opera, Dhiwise), 40–60% lower TCO, faster cadence due to India-US time-zone overlap, and an audit-pack-ready deliverable from day one.
