What We Do
SOC2Scout is an independent directory that helps companies find, compare, and evaluate SOC2 auditors and security assessment firms. We compile verified data on AICPA-licensed CPA firms, boutique cybersecurity shops, and enterprise assessors — then build tools that help buyers find the right match for their company size, industry, timeline, and budget.
Every firm listed in our directory is an AICPA-licensed CPA firm, or a security assessment company that partners with licensed CPA firms to deliver SOC2 attestation reports. We display firm data including audit types, frameworks, industries served, pricing ranges, and turnaround estimates.
Who We Are
SOC2Scout is operated by an independent team focused on compliance and security data. We are not affiliated with any audit firm, GRC platform, or security vendor. We do not perform audits. We do not accept payment to recommend specific firms — our matchmaker algorithm scores firms on fit criteria only, not commercial relationships.
We offer paid listing tiers (see our Advertiser Disclosure) that give audit firms enhanced profiles and lead alerts. Paid tiers affect profile visibility in directory sort order, but they do not change matchmaker algorithm scores — those are based entirely on fit criteria (industry, budget, timeline, stage, GRC platform). Our editorial content is never influenced by listing status.
Our Data Sources
Firm data is compiled from multiple sources and reviewed for accuracy:
- AICPA firm directories — primary source for CPA firm verification and license status
- Firm websites — services offered, industries, GRC platform partnerships, team credentials
- Direct firm outreach — pricing ranges, timeline estimates, and specialization data verified with firms directly
- Public professional registries — CISA, CISSP, and CPA license verification
- Client reviews — structured reviews submitted by verified companies who have completed SOC2 audits
See our full Methodology page for detailed data sourcing and verification processes.
Editorial Standards
All editorial content on SOC2Scout is written to be accurate, up-to-date, and genuinely helpful to companies evaluating SOC2. We cite primary sources (AICPA standards, NIST frameworks, regulatory guidance) wherever possible. Pricing and timeline data is sourced from direct firm outreach, client feedback, and publicly available RFP and case study data.
Editorial pages include a “Last Updated” date. We review and update key guides quarterly or when significant changes to AICPA standards, pricing, or market conditions occur. If you find an error in our content, please contact us at [email protected].
