SOC 2: Close the Vulnerability Management Gap

Vulnerability management is one of the most common causes of SOC 2 audit exceptions. Vulnetra provides the continuous testing cadence and immutable proof your auditor looks for under CC7.1.

What Auditors Typically Ask ForAudit Inquiry

During your SOC 2 Type II audit period, your auditor (Schellman, A-LIGN, Coalfire, etc.) will sample evidence to verify that vulnerability policies were followed continuously:

?A formal, documented vulnerability management policy with defined remediation SLAs
?Evidence of regularly scheduled vulnerability scans across production attack surfaces
?A recent penetration test report conducted by independent, certified security engineers
?Verifiable proof that critical and high vulnerabilities were remediated and retested
What Vulnetra Gives YouAutomated Evidence

Vulnetra automatically bundles the required artifacts into a verified export package that can be handed directly to your auditor or uploaded to your compliance automation tool:

Automated continuous scan history with immutable timestamps
Independent manual pentest report with verified proof-of-concepts
Ticketed findings with assigned developers, resolution diffs, and retest timestamps
Audit-ready PDF and JSON exports formatted specifically for SOC 2 auditors (Vanta/Drata compatible)

SOC 2 Evidence Artifacts Included in Your Export

ISO 27001: Evidence for Annex A 8.8 & 8.29

ISO 27001:2022 requires structured technical vulnerability management (A.8.8) and security testing during development (A.8.29). Vulnetra generates the continuous evidence and asset criticality mapping needed to pass your Stage 1 and Stage 2 surveillance audits.

What Auditors Typically Ask ForSurveillance Audit

Auditors want to see your complete operating lifecycle: how you discover new vulnerabilities, how you calculate organizational exposure, and how you enforce timely remediation:

?Defined procedures for obtaining timely information about technical vulnerabilities
?Evaluation of organizational exposure to identified vulnerabilities
?Appropriate treatment measures taken in accordance with risk appetite
?Security testing activities conducted during software development lifecycles
What Vulnetra Gives YouISMS Compatible

Vulnetra automatically satisfies Annex A requirements with continuous asset categorization, risk severity scoring, and full accountability tracking:

Comprehensive attack surface inventory with asset criticality and ownership tags
Risk-rated findings cataloged with CVSS 4.0 mathematical scoring
Remediation records documenting fix timelines, assigned owners, and retest evidence
Traceable audit trails proving regular testing of staging and production environments

PCI DSS: Pentests and Scans for Cardholder Environments

PCI DSS v4.0 requires rigorous penetration testing of both the perimeter and internal cardholder data environment (CDE), including network segmentation checks and mandatory retesting.

PCI DSS Requirement 11.4 ExpectationsQSA Review

Your Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) will inspect your penetration testing methodology, target scope, and retest closure evidence for compliance with Requirement 11.4:

?Requirement 11.4: Penetration testing performed at least once every 12 months and after any significant infrastructure or application change
?Testing covers the entire cardholder data environment (CDE) perimeter and critical systems
?Segmentation checks to verify isolation of CDE from non-CDE network zones
?Documented remediation of high/critical vulnerabilities and repeated testing to confirm closure
What Vulnetra DeliversQSA Accepted

We execute in-depth manual penetration testing following industry-accepted methodologies (NIST SP 800-115 / PTES), ensuring full coverage of your payment gateways and APIs:

Manual, attacker-style penetration testing meeting all Requirement 11.4 methodologies
Network segmentation verification and cross-VLAN boundary testing
Comprehensive retest reports verifying patch deployment and zero residual high-severity flaws
CVSS vulnerability reporting aligned with PCI severity thresholds

Important Notice on PCI External ASV Scans (Requirement 11.3.2)

Notice regarding ASV Scans: For PCI DSS Requirement 11.3.2 (quarterly external scans), tests must be executed by an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV). Vulnetra specializes in Requirement 11.4 manual and continuous penetration testing. For quarterly ASV scans, we coordinate alongside your designated ASV partner or provide pre-scan gap analysis.

PCI DSS Evidence Artifacts Included

Structured for inclusion in your annual Report on Compliance (RoC) or Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ-D).

DPDP Act Sec 8(5), CERT-In Directions & Master Circulars

India: DPDP Act, CERT-In and Sector Regulators

Indian technology enterprises face overlapping compliance obligations across data privacy, incident reporting directives, and financial sector cybersecurity circulars.

Statutory & Sector MandatesIndian Regulators

Legal requirements governing digital data fiduciaries, payment aggregators, banks, and brokerages:

§DPDP Act, 2023: Section 8(5) requires Data Fiduciaries to implement 'reasonable security safeguards' to prevent personal data breaches
§CERT-In Cyber Security Directions (April 2022): Expects robust incident readiness, logging, and technical vulnerability mitigation
§RBI Cyber Security Framework: Mandates periodic Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) for scheduled banks, NBFCs, and fintech payment aggregators
§SEBI Cybersecurity Circulars: Requires regulated entities to conduct bi-annual or annual VAPT by independent security teams
How Vulnetra Evidences ComplianceIndia Operations

We deliver complete technical testing records that demonstrate adherence to data protection safeguards and regulator VAPT cadences:

Attacker-style penetration testing evidencing 'reasonable security safeguards' under the DPDP Act
VAPT reports aligned with Indian banking and securities regulator audit templates
Fast-track retesting and proof-of-closure documentation for compliance submissions
Official GST invoices with TDS compliance for Indian private limited entities

Regulatory Clarity on CERT-In Empanelled Audits

Regulatory Note regarding CERT-In Empanelment: Certain specific government and PSU audits mandate a sign-off directly from a CERT-In empanelled auditing firm. Vulnetra provides independent offensive penetration testing and technical evidence. For filings strictly requiring a CERT-In empanelled firm, we partner with your empanelled auditor to provide the underlying technical testing evidence.
