Find a SOC 2 readiness partner

Firms that help you get SOC 2 ready: readiness, vCISO, and penetration-testing partners, compiled from the public directories we currently observe (Drata and Vanta). The CPA firm that performs the audit is a separate role; those are on ourSOC 2 auditors page. Facts only, alphabetical, never ranked.

How to choose a SOC 2 readiness partner

Readiness and the audit are separate. A readiness or vCISO firm prepares your controls, policies, and evidence; a licensed CPA firm performs the independent audit. Confirm the boundary before you engage; the same firm often cannot do both.

  • Match the firm to your gap. A firm strong at policy and program build is not automatically strong at pen testing. Scope what you actually need.
  • Ask who does the work. The person who sells the engagement is often not the one who runs it. Ask directly.
  • Get the fee in writing. Readiness scope varies widely: a fixed gap assessment is very different from an ongoing vCISO retainer.
  • Confirm independence. The firm that runs your readiness work and the firm that signs your audit opinion may need to be different. Ask before you commit to either.
