FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How could a unified SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audit accelerate our sales cycles?
A unified SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audit can accelerate sales cycles by eliminating redundant controls, documentation, and testing across frameworks. Instead of preparing separately for each requirement, your organization aligns controls once and satisfies multiple buyer expectations simultaneously. This reduces friction during security reviews, speeds up questionnaire responses, and shortens procurement timelines. The result is faster deal velocity and stronger trust with enterprise and global customers.

 Which penetration testing type best uncovers API-related business logic vulnerabilities?
To uncover API business-logic vulnerabilities, the best fit is usually manual, authenticated API penetration testing (often called an application/API pentest)—because logic flaws only show up when a tester can behave like a real user and deliberately push workflows in “valid but wrong” ways. Here’s what that looks like in practice: - Authenticated + manual testing to probe authorization and workflow logic (e.g., IDOR/BOLA, broken function-level authorization, price/quantity manipulation, bypassing approval steps, replaying tokens, abusing edge cases). - API-specific tooling (Burp, Postman, custom scripts) to chain calls, alter parameters, and test sequence/state dependencies. - For the deepest coverage, add graybox/whitebox elements (even limited architecture notes, roles/permissions model, or sample code paths) so testing can target high-risk flows and missed edge cases faster.  If you tell me what kind of API this is (public vs partner vs internal) and your auth model (OAuth2/JWT, session cookies, API keys), I can recommend the right scope and approach.

What exactly do you do? What services?
360 Advanced is a cybersecurity and compliance advisory firm that helps organizations streamline compliance, increase security, and accelerate growth. We provide services including SOC audits, HITRUST Certifications, ISO certifications (including ISO 27001 and ISO 27701), PCI assessments, FedRAMP and GovRAMP assessments, penetration testing, and broader cybersecurity advisory support. Our team works with companies across regulated and high-growth industries to design, assess, and strengthen their security and compliance programs.

 Can I get a PCI services pricing list?
PCI services are not one-size-fits-all, and pricing varies based on several factors such as company size, number of employees, cardholder data environment, transaction volume, and overall scope. For the most accurate estimate, it’s best to speak directly with one of our Account Executives.

How can 360 Advanced help me earn cybersecurity certifications like HITRUST or SOC?
That’s a great question,  and it’s one we help organizations navigate every day. 360 Advanced supports companies through the full lifecycle of frameworks like SOC 2 and HITRUST, beginning with readiness and gap assessments and continuing through formal audit and long-term program maturation. We start by evaluating where your controls stand today, then help you align and strengthen them so your program is designed not just to pass an assessment, but to scale as your business grows. For HITRUST, that often includes guidance around scoping decisions, version transitions, and evidence expectations, including newer areas such as AI-related controls. For SOC 2, we focus on building a control environment that can support customer scrutiny and future framework expansion, rather than treating the audit as a one-time event. If you’re considering one of these frameworks, are you pursuing this for the first time, or preparing for a renewal? And are you focused on SOC 2, HITRUST, or evaluating both?

Is this company compliant with HIPAA, NAIC, or NYDFS?
That’s an important distinction to clarify. HIPAA, NAIC, and NYDFS are regulatory requirements that apply to covered entities and regulated organizations — they are not certifications that apply to audit and advisory firms in the same way. 360 Advanced does not “claim compliance” with these regulations as a badge; rather, we help organizations assess, strengthen, and demonstrate alignment within their own environments.

We regularly support healthcare organizations subject to HIPAA, insurance and financial entities navigating NAIC model laws, and institutions preparing for or maintaining alignment with NYDFS cybersecurity requirements. Our role is to evaluate controls, identify gaps, and provide independent assurance where required.

If you are seeking support with one of these regulatory requirements, please contact us and our team will connect you with the appropriate service specialist.

 What professional affiliations or credentials does your team hold?
Yes, many of our team members hold recognized security and compliance credentials across areas such as auditing, cloud security, risk management, and governance. Depending on the engagement, you may work with professionals holding certifications including CISSP, CISA, CISM, PCI QSA, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, and HITRUST CSF Practitioner designations.

If you are evaluating us for a specific framework (SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, etc.), we’re happy to outline the credentials that typically support that engagement. You can also learn more about our leadership team at: https://360advanced.com/leadership

How can unified audits (SOC 2 + PCI) reduce your compliance costs and audit fatigue?
Unified audits reduce cost and friction by aligning overlapping control requirements into a single coordinated testing effort, instead of running separate evidence collection cycles for SOC 2 and PCI. Because many controls map across frameworks (access control, logging, change management, vendor oversight), a unified approach minimizes duplicate documentation, shortens audit timelines, and reduces internal resource strain. The real value, though, comes from designing controls intentionally for multi-framework reuse, not just running audits at the same time. If you're currently managing both SOC 2 and PCI, are they being handled separately today? I can walk you through what consolidation would realistically look like for your environment.

Does your company provide HIPAA risk assessments as a service?
Yes, 360 Advanced provides HIPAA risk assessments as part of our healthcare and regulatory compliance services. A HIPAA risk assessment evaluates how your organization protects ePHI, identifies gaps against the Security Rule requirements, and documents risk levels with recommended remediation priorities. We focus not just on checklist validation, but on helping you understand where exposure exists and what practical steps will reduce risk. Depending on your needs, this can be a standalone HIPAA Security Risk Analysis or part of a broader program that also supports SOC 2, HITRUST, or other healthcare-aligned frameworks. Are you preparing for an OCR inquiry, aligning to HITRUST, or conducting your annual required risk analysis? That context helps determine the right scope.
