Pre-SOC 2 pentest + playbook
A small fintech needed a penetration test ahead of their SOC 2 Type II audit. The win wasn't the report — it was the remediation playbook that gave the engineering team a clear week-by-week path to a clean audit.

Why this combo
The decisions we made differently — and why they matter for fintech specifically.
Our pentesters have HackerOne / Bugcrowd reputation. We test logic flaws, IDOR chains, auth bypass — the stuff scanners can't find. Findings come with reproduction steps and remediation PRs.
Type 1 readiness in a defined sprint: control mapping, evidence collection, gap remediation, auditor referral. We focus on Trust Services Criteria that fintech auditors actually push back on.
If you're touching card data, scope is 80% of the cost. We help architect for tokenization (Stripe, Spreedly, Basis) and segment what's left. Less scope = less audit pain.
External scan + monitoring: cert expiry, exposed admin panels, leaked secrets in public repos, third-party breach notifications. We catch what your team doesn't have time for.
STRIDE-style threat model on your critical flows (auth, money movement, KYC). We document attack paths and rank them, then prioritize remediation by realistic blast radius.
Investors, partner banks, and enterprise customers will ask for them. Executive summary + technical detail + remediation timeline + retest sign-off — formatted for sharing.

Why Hayaiti
Fintech security is a conversation with three audiences: regulators, investors, and partner banks. All three want the same thing: proof that you took the work seriously. Our pentest reports are formatted for Series A diligence packets and SOC 2 prep handoffs — written so a lawyer or partner-bank reviewer can take them at face value. We're not a Big 4 audit firm; we don't sell you 9 months of theater. We do the technical work, and we hand you reports that hold up.

FAQ
Yes for the technical content — executive summary, methodology, findings with CVSS, reproduction steps, remediation status, retest sign-off. We've had reports accepted by Big 4 auditors and partner banks. Format-wise, your auditor may have a preferred template; we'll match it.
Yes. The Pentest Engagement SKU covers web + API by default. Mobile (iOS / Android) adds scope; we'll quote it separately after a kick-off call. We do reverse-engineering, certificate pinning bypass, and API replay testing.
A SOC 2 audit is an attestation by a licensed CPA firm. We're not a CPA firm. We do the technical work that SOC 2 auditors expect: pentest, vulnerability management, evidence collection. We refer you to specific CPA firms we trust for the attestation itself.
Yes — mutual NDA, sent before the first technical call. Standard for security engagements; we sign yours or send ours.
We help with scope reduction (tokenize via Stripe / Spreedly / Basis), threat modeling, and pre-assessment readiness. The formal QSA assessment is by a licensed Qualified Security Assessor; we refer to QSAs in our network.
