About

The directory profiles 19 SOC 2 audit firms with their pricing ranges, timelines, and fit notes, and it states that listings are never pay-to-rank. Buyers answer about four questions in roughly two minutes, and the service filters firms by company size, scope, and timeline before sending one brief. Matched auditors then send scoped quotes directly, and the buyer chooses. The site presents itself as a quote-matching service rather than an audit firm.

FAQ

What is a SOC 2 Type 2 report?

A SOC 2 Type 2 report is an independent auditor's opinion — issued by a licensed CPA firm under AICPA standards — on whether your security controls were suitably designed and operated effectively over a review period, usually 6 to 12 months. It covers the Trust Services Criteria you select (Security is mandatory; Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy are optional).

How much does a SOC 2 Type 2 audit cost?

Published ranges put the audit fee between $7,000 and $100,000 depending on company size and scope, with first-year all-in costs (readiness, tooling, staff time) of $30,000 to $150,000 in published 2026 sources. See our cost guide and the 2026 pricing report for sourced numbers.

How long does a SOC 2 Type 2 audit take?

End to end, 9 to 15 months for a first audit: 1 to 3 months of readiness work, a 3 to 12 month observation period, and 4 to 8 weeks for the auditor to issue the report. See the timeline.

Who can issue a SOC 2 report?

Only a licensed CPA firm can issue a SOC 2 report under AICPA attestation standards. Compliance software can prepare you, but it cannot sign the report.
