Tradeoffs
You operate the tool and own the judgment on findings. The 19-page sample report is built on synthetic data and needs a free account to download. Penligent says reports are supporting evidence, not a SOC 2 examination report or ISO 27001 certificate. No certifications are listed for the company.
