San Jose, California - Decrypt Compliance, an AICPA-accredited CPA firm specializing in SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HITRUST engagements, has announced the expansion of its SOC 2 audit practice to serve fast-growing B2B SaaS, fintech, and AI companies preparing for enterprise vendor security reviews.

The expansion addresses a bottleneck familiar to many growing technology companies: enterprise customers that will not finalize a contract without a completed SOC 2 report, and traditional audit timelines that can stall deals for months. Decrypt Compliance was founded by professionals with backgrounds at major accounting firms and operates under California Board of Accountancy License 9491. The firm's structured, technology-driven approach to readiness and evidence collection allows clients to move through Type I and Type II examinations in a fraction of the time typically associated with conventional engagements.

"Enterprise buyers do not wait for compliance to catch up anymore," said Raymond Cheng, Founder and Managing Partner of Decrypt Compliance. "A completed report has become a requirement before a contract even reaches the negotiating table. Our approach removes the uncertainty from that process with a defined scope, a clear timeline, transparent pricing, and a final report our clients can present directly to any enterprise security team."

Decrypt Compliance holds accreditation from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, is an authorized HITRUST Assessment provider, and is a credentialed ISO 27001 auditor under registration MSCB-365. The firm's client base includes B2B SaaS providers, fintech and payments platforms, healthcare-adjacent software companies, AI and data platform businesses, and cloud infrastructure providers, all of which face increasingly rigorous vendor risk assessments from enterprise customers.

Alongside its audit engagements, the firm has released a guide to the Trust Services Criteria that examiners evaluate during a SOC 2 audit, outlining how organizations should approach scoping for a first-time examination. The resource is intended to help compliance and security teams understand what evidence auditors expect to see before fieldwork begins.

"Most delays we see are not technical, they are organizational," Cheng added. "Teams wait too long to assign ownership of controls, or they start collecting evidence only after the review period has already begun. Getting ahead of that planning is what actually shortens the timeline."

The firm noted that demand for independent assurance has grown alongside more rigorous procurement processes at large enterprises, where security, legal, and compliance stakeholders are increasingly involved in vendor approval decisions. Organizations without a current report often face repeated documentation requests and longer onboarding cycles, a pattern Decrypt Compliance said is becoming more common across the software and financial technology sectors.

Decrypt Compliance is an AICPA-accredited CPA firm based in San Jose, California, offering SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HITRUST, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance audit services to technology companies nationwide. Its client base spans B2B SaaS, fintech, healthcare-adjacent, and AI businesses preparing for enterprise vendor security reviews. Founded by professionals with backgrounds at major accounting firms, the company focuses on structured, technology-driven audit readiness that helps growing organizations move through certification processes without the overhead typically associated with larger firms.
