SOC 2 Compliance and Security Maturity Through Comprehensive Penetration Testing

Challenge

Prospective clients required that Hydrolix become SOC 2 compliant and prove security maturity with a quality penetration test.

Solution

Hydrolix wanted more than a checkbox when it came to their application and network security; Software Secured was experienced in helping globally dispersed teams and their penetration test approach provided a deeper level of assurance on their attack surface.

Software Secured’s mapping to numerous frameworks and standards was one of the differentiating factors that attracted us to work with them and affirmed that we were receiving a high quality penetration test as we work towards SOC 2.”
