Hey folks, hoping to get some advice from the hive mind. So, I finally finished migrating my team's agent runtime from a big proprietary vendor to OpenClaw, self-hosted on our own infra. The technical win feels great — we own the data flow, the logs, everything. 🎉

But now I'm facing the "fun" part: security compliance. Our old vendor had all the shiny third-party audit reports (SOC 2, pen test summaries) we could just hand to our clients. Now that we're the vendor, *we* have to provide that assurance. I've got a pile of security questionnaires from our enterprise clients, and I need to find auditors and pentesters myself.

I'm looking for recommendations, but also war stories. What should I be looking for in a firm that gets self-hosted, containerized environments like ours? I'm worried about getting a templated report that doesn't reflect our actual architecture (think: Tailscale mesh, Docker Compose stacks, air-gapped backups).

Some specific points I'm pondering:
* **Pentesting Cadence:** Annual feels standard, but is that enough when we're pushing our own updates monthly? Do you supplement with continuous vulnerability scanning (like Trivy/Grype in the pipeline)?
* **Report "Translation":** How do you handle questions about *their* incident response playbook when you're self-hosted? I'm writing a lot of "This is our responsibility, here is our documented process" instead of pointing to a vendor doc.
* **Finding the Right Auditor:** Should I prioritize smaller firms that might understand our stack better over the big names that procurement loves?

Any providers you've had good (or terrible) experiences with? Pitfalls to avoid when commissioning these reports? The goal is to be transparent and secure, not just check a box.
