SOC 2 Audit Services in Denver

SOC 2 started with compliance requests from your partners and business prospects. It's used to help others know how you protect their data. A SOC 2 report answers that question with an independent CPA firm's third-party opinion over how your organization describes how its product works to meet the framework criteria.

SOC 2 audit costs depend on scope, organization size, and the number of Trust Services Criteria selected. Sage Audits works on fixed-fee engagements quoted before any work begins. Use our pricing calculator or schedule a free scoping call for a specific quote.

A SOC 2 Type I typically takes approximately one to two months from kickoff to report issuance. A Type II depends on your examination period (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.

No. While we are headquartered in the Denver metro area, the work can be done in person or remotely. We generally work remote: Artifact, our client portal, is how we communicate with you, so distance never decides audit quality. We work well in Microsoft Teams and Zoom, but we don't mind coming by to visit and greet your team. We work with SaaS and technology companies across Colorado and nationwide; under CPA mobility provisions adopted across nearly every U.S. jurisdiction, a CPA firm licensed in Colorado can generally perform attestation work for companies based in other states without holding a second license there.

A SOC 2 Type I assesses whether your controls are suitably designed as of a specific date. A Type II tests whether those controls operated effectively over an audit period of typically 6 to 12 months. Most enterprise buyers require a Type II report. Learn more about our SOC 2 services →

Yes. If you have a compliance platform, we can work with you to gather the evidence. We work with Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, TrustCloud, and other compliance automation platforms, and we perform independent testing procedures while collecting evidence efficiently through your existing tools. If you don't have a platform, that is perfectly fine. We can use your systems or you may use our system to upload and transfer evidence to us for the audit examination process.

A readiness assessment is strongly recommended for first-time SOC 2 engagements. It maps your controls to the Trust Services Criteria, identifies gaps, and produces a prioritized remediation roadmap before the audit period clock starts. Many Colorado SaaS companies use readiness as a way to avoid costly findings during fieldwork. Learn about our readiness assessments →

Security is required for every SOC 2 engagement. The other categories (Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy) are optional and should mirror your commitments to customers. Most companies start with Security alone. Confidentiality is the most common addition, and Availability comes next, especially for SaaS platforms with uptime commitments. We help you determine the right scope during the scoping phase.

A SOC 2 Report can cover five Trust Services Categories: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Security is required in every engagement. It covers things like how you can access your systems and data, how you handle changes, how you spot and respond to incidents, how you manage your vendors, and whether your written policies match what actually happens. Availability addresses uptime and recovery, Processing Integrity addresses complete and accurate processing, Confidentiality addresses protection of sensitive business information, and Privacy addresses personal data handling. Most companies start with Security alone, add Confidentiality second, and add Availability third, especially SaaS platforms with uptime commitments. Read our breakdown of all five categories.

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, reducing duplication and maximizing the value of your audit investment. This is common for Colorado technology companies that need to satisfy multiple compliance frameworks simultaneously.
