What SOC 2 Type 2 is
SOC 2 Type 2 is an independent quote-matching and education site for SOC 2 audits. We publish source-backed guides on costs, timelines, and auditor selection, and we match companies with licensed CPA firms that perform SOC 2 audits.
What we do
- Educate. Cost guides, checklists, timelines, and a cited pricing report — all with visible sources. Our methodology page documents exactly how we vet firms and label prices.
- Match. Our quote form connects you with auditors that fit your size, scope, and timeline. The service is free to you.
What we don't do
- We are not a CPA firm and do not perform audits or issue SOC 2 reports.
- We don't sell certifications, "guaranteed" reports, or audit shortcuts.
- We don't publish paid placement rankings disguised as editorial. Provider listings are presented alphabetically with factual profiles. The site currently carries no paid sponsor.
- We don't invent statistics, reviews, or testimonials. Every number on this site has a source you can click.
Editor
Tyler Blake is the editor of SOC 2 Type 2. He operates the Compliance Network, a set of independent compliance directories covering SOC 1, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, CMMC, and NIST. He previously owned the domain soc2certification.com, which he later sold. The firm profiles and pricing figures published here are compiled from firms' own published pages and linked sources, following the methodology documented on this site.
How we make money
When you request quotes, matched audit firms may pay us a lead or referral fee. That never affects which firms we list or what our guides say — firms can't pay to change a profile or buy a recommendation.
