HackZero

2 reviews

HackZero is a security and compliance platform in the same category as Vanta, Drata and Secureframe, with the two things they leave you to buy separately already in the package: a real, continuous penetration test, and an independent CPA who issues the attestation. The usual path to SOC 2 Type 2 is three vendors. A compliance platform for the paperwork, a separate firm for the pentest, and an auditor at the end, wired together by you. HackZero runs all three as one motion. The platform collects and maps your evidence to the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, and pushes it into Vanta, Drata or Secureframe if you already run one. The penetration test is not a separate purchase: we test your live app continuously with AI agents, and hackers in the loop confirm every finding actually exploits, with each one pre-mapped to the control it satisfies. The same evidence is formatted for HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0 and ISO 27001:2022 when you need those. We do not sell the audit. An independent AICPA-member CPA issues the SOC 2 opinion and you pay them directly, which is what keeps the attestation independent and keeps us out of the audit-mill category. A first SOC 2 Type 2 lands around $6,000 all-in, against the $30,000 to $45,000 a separate platform, pentest and auditor cost. Our pricing is public, our benchmark results are public, and our vulnerability research is public and credited, including a critical RCE in velocity.js (CVSS 9.8) and a Function-constructor escape in JSONPath-Plus, so our claim of real security depth is one you can verify.
