Included with Tier 2 only. The Hardening Certificate ships as part of Implementation Tier 2 ($2,499), alongside the compliance documentation pack. Tier 1 ($1,499) does not include the certificate. If you started on Tier 1 and want the certificate, contact [email protected] — we can upgrade your engagement to Tier 2 and credit Tier 1 toward the difference.
Once every finding from your audit is closed and reverified, your Tier 2 engagement concludes with a dated Hardening Certificate, signed by your engagement lead.
What the certificate contains
- Your company name and audit reference ID.
- The date the engagement was completed.
- A list of which findings were remediated, with severity at audit time.
- Our attestation that each closed finding was reverified.
- A signature from the engagement lead.
Where the certificate is useful
- Cyber-insurance applications and renewals.
- Vendor security questionnaires from enterprise customers.
- Client trust reviews (especially for accounting firms, law firms, healthcare practices).
What the certificate is not
It is not a SOC 2 report, not a penetration test certificate, and not a regulatory certification. It is documentation that the specific findings in your audit were addressed.
