The CPA Firm at the Other End of 120th Avenue
Our headquarters is at 1499 West 120th Avenue in Westminster, the same road that runs through Broomfield's business parks as Interlocken Loop. That is the whole local story, and it matters for one reason: your auditor can be in your conference room without booking a flight.
Proximity changes how an engagement feels. Walkthroughs happen at your desk instead of over a shared screen. An evidence question becomes a twenty-minute visit rather than a thread of screenshots. And when a customer asks who signed your report, the answer is a licensed Colorado CPA firm, not a fly-in team working three time zones away. We get the report done correctly, without cutting corners, and we work with you on what your controls should look like, the way your enterprise customers expect to see them. Curious how we scope an engagement to a specific environment? That is what our tailored approach means in practice.

Colorado SOC Compliance Firm
Between Denver's Enterprise and Boulder's Startups
Broomfield companies sell in both directions: enterprise buyers on the Denver side, venture-backed platforms toward Boulder. Both send security questionnaires, and both expect the same thing behind them, an independent examination signed by a licensed CPA firm. That is the work we do: SOC 1 and SOC 2, Type I and Type II, scoped to your environment and delivered on a fixed fee.
Licensed and insured AICPA CPA firm. Authorized to issue SOC 1 and SOC 2 Reports under AICPA SSAE No. 18.
The Corridor Is Our Coverage Area
From Interlocken Crescent to the Eldorado Boulevard campuses to Baseline, we serve the US-36 corridor from ten minutes away, not from a regional hub in another state.
Your Stack Is the Scope
SaaS on AWS or Azure, connected hardware, regulated data flows: we scope controls to the environment you actually run instead of forcing a template onto it.
A Report Only a CPA Firm Can Sign
SOC 2 is an attestation, and only a licensed CPA firm can issue one. Colorado Firm License FRM.5000785, authorized under AICPA SSAE No. 18.
One Number, Quoted Up Front
Fixed-fee engagements scoped before kickoff. Budget approval is easier when the number cannot move.

The Deliverable
An Opinion Only a CPA Firm Can Sign
A SOC Report is not a certificate you buy or a badge a platform issues. It is an examination performed under the AICPA's attestation standards, and the deliverable is an independent CPA firm's written opinion on your controls. Compliance software can organize your evidence; only a licensed CPA firm can perform the examination and sign the opinion.
That signature is what your customer's vendor-risk team is actually asking for. Ours comes with Colorado Firm License FRM.5000785 and a partner who was in the fieldwork, not just on the letterhead.
Broomfield SOC 2 Engagements
SOC 2 Type I and Type II for Broomfield Companies
Broomfield keeps its own runway at Rocky Mountain Metro, so here is the route the way a pilot would brief it: preflight, wheels up, then a long cruise. Which leg you start on depends on who is asking for the report and how soon.

Readiness Assessment
4 to 8 weeks
The walkaround before anything rolls. We map your controls to the Trust Services Criteria, work the checklist item by item, and hand you a remediation list ranked by severity, so gaps get fixed quietly before any audit clock starts.
Best if this is your first SOC 2, or you are not confident every control would hold up under examination.
Plan the Readiness PhaseWheels Up
SOC 2 Type I
1 to 2 months
Rotation. A Type I is a point-in-time opinion on whether your controls are suitably designed as of a single date, and it is the fastest formal report you can hand a buyer whose security review has your deal holding short.
Best if procurement wants signed evidence now and cannot wait out a full observation window.
Compare Type I and Type IIThe Cruise
SOC 2 Type II
Typically 6 to 12 months
Level-off, autopilot trimmed. A Type II proves your controls operated across an observation window, not just that they existed on one date; a first window can be as short as three months. It is the report enterprise buyers ultimately require, and it renews annually.
Best if your buyers are enterprises whose vendor-risk teams read reports closely, which along this corridor is most of them.
See the Type II Engagement
Still on frequency after landing. Wheels-down is not where we sign off. Between engagements the partner who ran your audit stays reachable all year, for the stray control question or a re-scope when a new product ships, and when the AICPA revises SOC 2 guidance we brief you on what it changes for your next window before a customer ever asks. Think of it as flight following for your compliance program.

What to Expect
How the Engagement Works
Partner-led from the scoping call to the final report. And if you are in Broomfield, more of it can happen across a table instead of across a screen.

We map controls to the Trust Services Criteria, flag the gaps, and hand you a prioritized fix list before any examination period begins.
Fieldwork & Testing
Independent testing, walkthroughs at your office or over video, and evidence pulled through the GRC platform you already use.
Report Delivery
Draft within two weeks of fieldwork wrapping. We walk you through the opinion and how to hand it to the security teams asking for it.
SOC 2 Questions from Broomfield Companies
What US-36 corridor technology companies ask us most when they start evaluating a SOC 2 engagement. Short version: the right answer usually depends on who is asking you for the report.
It depends, and anyone who quotes you a number before asking questions is guessing. Three things move the price: how many systems and entities are in scope, which Trust Services Criteria your customers expect, and how mature your controls already are. What we can promise is that the number is fixed before kickoff and does not move after. Use our pricing calculator for a realistic range, or book a free scoping call for a firm quote.
Easily. Our headquarters is on West 120th Avenue in Westminster, minutes from the Broomfield line. Interlocken, Old Town, the Eldorado Boulevard campuses, and Baseline are all a short drive for us, so scoping conversations, walkthroughs, and closing meetings can happen at your office instead of over a screen. And if your team is remote-first, so is the engagement.
The honest answer is that it depends on where you are starting from. A company with mature controls can move from kickoff to a Type I report in approximately one to two months. A first-timer usually adds a 4 to 8 week readiness phase in front. A Type II then covers an examination period of typically 6 to 12 months, with a draft report within two weeks of fieldwork completion and the final report within five to seven weeks of period end. Our audit process page walks through the timeline stage by stage.
A Type I is an opinion on whether your controls are suitably designed as of a single date. A Type II tests whether those controls operated effectively across an examination period of typically 6 to 12 months. Which one you need depends on who is asking: some buyers accept a Type I plus a commitment to a Type II, while most enterprise security teams ultimately want the Type II. The common path is a Type I first, then rolling straight into the Type II period. Learn more about our SOC 2 services →
Yes. We regularly audit through Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, TrustCloud, and similar compliance platforms. Your platform organizes the evidence; we still perform independent testing under AICPA standards and form our own opinion. The combination usually shortens fieldwork rather than complicating it. See how we use technology in our audits →
Before the questionnaire arrives, though how early depends on the report you need. A readiness assessment runs 4 to 8 weeks and a Type I roughly one to two months, so a company that starts today can usually put a report in front of a procurement team within a quarter. If your buyers will insist on a Type II, add the examination period on top, which is why starting before the deal shows up matters. Our interactive SOC 2 checklist is a fast way to see how much runway you need.
It depends on what your customers rely on you for. If your service touches their financial reporting, payroll processing, fund administration, billing, then their auditors will ask for a SOC 1. If they rely on you to protect systems and data, the ask is SOC 2. Plenty of corridor companies genuinely need both, and the two engagements can share evidence and scoping. If you are not sure, that is exactly what a scoping call is for.
Yes. We currently map your SOC 2 control environment to NIST CSF and SOX ITGC within a single engagement, with ISO 27001 mapping on our roadmap. One set of evidence requests, multiple frameworks satisfied.
A SOC 2 Report draws on five Trust Services Categories: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Security is included in every report and covers the controls protecting your systems and data. You add the others only when they match promises you have made: Availability for uptime, Processing Integrity for accurate processing, Confidentiality for sensitive business information, and Privacy for personal data. Most companies begin with Security by itself; Confidentiality is the most frequent addition and Availability is next, especially among SaaS teams. Read our breakdown of all five categories.
