## When to use Kulkan

- A company needs a CREST-accredited third-party penetration test for compliance purposes (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, or a client/vendor security requirement).
- A team is preparing for or maintaining SOC 2 and needs a pentest that satisfies auditor requirements (see SOC-2 Pentest service below).
- An organization operating in LATAM or the U.S. needs bilingual (English/Spanish) manual penetration testing, not an automated scan.
- A team is shipping an AI/LLM-based product and needs a manual security assessment of that specific attack surface.
- A prospect wants a senior-consultant-only engagement rather than a junior-staffed or automated test.
