SOC 2

Nobody wants SOC 2. They want trust.
SOC 2 is the language trust speaks. When you understand that, the entire conversation changes.
Co-founder
Rob McAdam
Two decades building offensive security and cyber consulting practices for enterprise and government.
LinkedInExperience
Rob founded Pure Hacking, CXO Security and Sekuro, building offensive security and cyber consulting practices that served enterprise and government across Australia and beyond.
He has spent twenty years on the other side of the assessment: running penetration tests, standing up security programs, and sitting with executives who need a straight answer about what their real exposure is.
That background shapes how he thinks about audit. Controls only matter if they hold up when someone is actively trying to break them.
What Rob writes about
- Security control design that survives real attackers
- Penetration testing, red teaming and what findings actually mean
- Building and scaling security functions inside growth companies
- Board and executive conversations about cyber risk
Approach
Direct, evidence led, and allergic to security theatre. Rob would rather tell you the uncomfortable thing early than write it up politely six months later.
