Skyhawk Security Partners with Scytale to Streamline SOC 2 Compliance and Enhance Cloud Security

Skyhawk Security has partnered with Scytale to help companies accelerate SOC 2 compliance and strengthen their cloud security. Scytale customers will gain access to a free Purple Team Assessment powered by Skyhawk's AI-driven platform, which evaluates the weaponized threats that attackers are likely to exploit to breach customers' clouds. This partnership allows customers to proactively identify true risks, demonstrate proper controls, and address security gaps before they become issues.

In a strategic move to enhance cloud security and streamline SOC 2 compliance, Skyhawk Security has partnered with Scytale. This collaboration aims to provide Scytale customers with a free Purple Team Assessment powered by Skyhawk's AI-driven platform. The assessment evaluates weaponized threats that attackers might exploit to breach customers' cloud environments, helping organizations proactively identify risks and demonstrate proper controls [1].

Skyhawk Security's Purple Team Assessment uses an AI-based Red and Blue Team that continuously runs attack simulations and defends against them. The platform simulates breaches in a digital twin of the customer’s cloud environment, measuring how well existing controls detect and respond to these threats. This partnership offers Scytale customers concrete evidence of their security posture, which is particularly valuable during SOC 2 audits or when communicating risk to stakeholders [1].

The partnership is timely, given the escalating sophistication of cyber threats. According to CrowdStrike's 2025 Threat Hunting report, cloud-focused attacks and identity-driven intrusions have significantly increased. The report highlights a 136% rise in cloud intrusions in the first half of 2025 compared to all of 2024. Furthermore, 73% of interactive intrusions were attributed to formal adversaries, underscoring the need for robust cloud security measures [2].

By leveraging Skyhawk's Purple Team Assessment, Scytale customers can better prioritize true risks and streamline the auditing process, achieving compliance cost-effectively. The assessment is particularly valuable for cloud-native companies aiming to scale securely while satisfying customer and auditor demands. The partnership reflects the growing integration of security and compliance, where real attack scenarios and detailed reports map remediation steps [1].
