- Sends a styled HTML email report summarizing all findings.
What You Need

- A Gmail account connected via Pipedream for sending the report email.
How the Flow Works
| Node | Description |
|---|---|
| Manual Trigger | Starts the workflow with a company name and website URL as input. |
| Code Node | Validates and formats the input data before passing it downstream. |
| AI Agent | Crawls the website and searches the web to find social media profiles. Performs SOC 1 and SOC 2 assessments evaluating SSL/TLS, privacy policies, data handling, availability, and more. Returns structured output including a security score and recommendations. |
| Gmail Send Email | Sends a beautifully formatted HTML email report containing the full analysis. |
Output
The email report includes:
- Company Info — Name and website URL.
- Social Media Profiles — Discovered links to platforms such as LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube, X, and Discord.
- SOC 1 Assessment — Summary of financial compliance, data handling transparency, and related controls.
- SOC 2 Assessment — Evaluation of security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls.
- Security Score — A rating from 1 to 10 based on the analysis.
- Recommendations — Clear, actionable steps to improve security and compliance posture.
Notes
- The AI agent uses a combination of direct website browsing and internet searches to find social media profiles. Results depend on publicly available data.
- SOC assessments focus on observable security and privacy controls from the website's public surface. They should complement — not replace — thorough manual audits.
- Update the recipient email address in the Gmail node to ensure the report reaches the right person.
- To analyze multiple companies, update the trigger input for each run or extend the workflow to loop through a list.
