Finding SOC 2 auditors
Sourcing SOC 2 Auditors
Once you’re familiar with the knowledge of AICPA and CPA firms, here are some points you need to keep in mind while selecting SOC 2 auditors:
- They must be a licensed CPA firm, no exceptions: If they are not licensed, the report is not valid.
- Experience in your industry: SaaS startups have different needs than, say, a healthcare provider. Choose accordingly.
- Support before the audit: Some auditors offer readiness assessments to help you clean up before they officially begin.
- Clear pricing and timelines: Know what you’re paying for, and how long it’ll take.
- Security fluency: Your auditors should be comfortable with modern DevOps, cloud environments, and compliance tooling.
