We Speak SaaS

IT Professionals. Trusted Advisers.

We are locals. Westminster is our home city, our office is on 120th Avenue, and the companies we serve here are our neighbors. We see ourselves as IT professionals first: people who have run cloud infrastructure, shipped through CI/CD, and managed identity and endpoints, now working as trusted advisers who guide companies through the whole compliance journey. Whether you live in AWS, Azure, or GCP, run on-prem gear down the hall, or keep your evidence in Vanta or Drata, we speak the language your engineers speak.

As an independent CPA firm, we test your actual control environment and sign our own opinion under AICPA standards. No outsourced fieldwork, no rubber stamps, and a fixed fee locked before we start.

Colorado SOC Compliance Firm

Colorado Licensed. Westminster Based.

Many firms ranking for "SOC 2 audit Westminster" are based out of state, and plenty quietly offshore the fieldwork. We work the opposite way: Sage Audits is a Colorado-licensed CPA firm, and a local CPA signs every report we issue.

We stay hands-on within the bounds of independence. You own your controls and your system description; we point out where a control looks weak and give you concrete recommendations to consider.

You meet the partner leading your engagement, at our 120th Avenue office (by appointment) or at yours, and that same person stays with you to the final report.

AICPA SOC for Service Organizations seal

Licensed and insured AICPA CPA firm. Authorized to issue SOC 1 and SOC 2 reports under AICPA SSAE No. 18.

An actual CPA firm

A Colorado CPA firm, License FRM.5000785, accredited by the AICPA to issue SOC reports under SSAE No. 18. You are hiring licensed auditors, not renting a dashboard or signing with a reseller who subcontracts the real work.

The partner runs the work

The partner who shakes your hand at our Westminster office is the one doing the fieldwork. No account-manager layer in between, and no quiet handoff to a first-year after you sign.

Fixed fee, no meter running

Scoped and quoted before kickoff, then locked. No surprise invoice for extra hours, and no national-firm markup covering someone else's downtown high-rise.

Quick to your inbox

We target a draft within about two weeks of finishing fieldwork. The customer holding up your renewal will not wait a quarter, so neither will we.

By Appointment Only

Our Office in Westminster

We are at 1499 West 120th Ave, Suite 110, right off US-36 between Denver and Boulder. Scoping calls, kickoff meetings, and evidence walkthroughs can happen here, at your office, or over video, whichever is easiest for your team. We meet by appointment only, no walk-ins: book a time and we will have the coffee ready.

Westminster SOC 2 Engagements

SOC 2 for Companies That Handle Customer Data

Which report you need depends on who is asking, how soon they need it, and whether anyone has formally tested your controls yet. Here is how the three fit together for north-metro teams.

Learn about our process
Directions from our front door 1499 West 120th Ave, Suite 110, Westminster

  1. Pull out of the lot and check the route

    Readiness Assessment

    4 to 8 weeks

    A practice lap before anything counts. We map your controls to the Trust Services Criteria, surface every gap, and hand you a remediation list ranked by priority, so fixes happen quietly before any audit clock starts.

    Best if: this is your first SOC 2, or you are not sure your controls would hold up under an auditor's questions.

    Plan the readiness leg

  2. Merge onto US-36

    SOC 2 Type I

    1 to 2 months

    You are moving with traffic now. A Type I is a point-in-time opinion on how your controls are designed as of a single date, and it is the fastest formal report for getting a stalled deal rolling again.

    Best if: a prospect wants something official before they sign and cannot wait out a full observation window.

    See how Type I works

  3. Cruise with the destination locked in

    SOC 2 Type II

    Typically 6 to 12 months

    The long stretch of highway. A Type II shows your controls operated across an observation window, and a first window can be as short as 3 months. This is the report enterprise buyers ultimately expect, renewed annually.

    Best if: enterprise security teams sit in your pipeline and you want the answer they will keep asking for, year after year.

    Read up on Type II

We keep giving directions after you arrive

Once the Type II is in hand, Sage is still the firm a short drive up 120th. Clients call our IT professionals year-round with control questions, not just during fieldwork, and when the AICPA revises SOC 2 guidance, we translate the change for your next report before a prospect's security questionnaire ever raises it.

What to Expect

How the Engagement Works

Every engagement is partner-led and fixed-fee. We come from IT, not just accounting. We know AWS, Azure, and yes, even GCP, and our hands-on background in systems administration, full-stack development, and third-party risk management means we ask the right questions early. Better still, we anticipate what your customers will ask about your controls, so your report answers those questions before they even think to ask.

In Person or Remote

Come to Us, or We Come to You

Because our office is right here in Westminster, you get options most firms cannot offer. Book a time at 1499 West 120th Ave to scope the engagement face to face and meet the partner who will run it. Would you rather we come to your Broomfield, Thornton, or Denver office? That is a short drive for us, not a plane ticket.

Want to keep it fully remote instead? Every engagement can run over video and a shared evidence folder from start to finish. The difference is that with a local firm, in person is genuinely on the table, not a line in a brochure from three time zones away.

At Our Office

Meet at 1499 West 120th Ave, Suite 110, just off the US-36 corridor in Westminster.

Remote, Start to Finish

Prefer not to travel? The whole engagement can run over video and a shared evidence folder.

Direct Partner Line

Questions mid-engagement go straight to the partner running your audit, not a ticket queue.

SOC 2 Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most from north-metro companies weighing a SOC 2 engagement.

Pricing tracks your scope, team size, and the Trust Services Criteria in play. Every engagement is fixed-fee, locked before kickoff. Use the pricing calculator or book a time at the office for a number that fits your environment.

Yes, just schedule an appointment first so the right partner is there to meet you. We are at 1499 West 120th Ave, Suite 110, just off US-36, and we are glad to host your scoping conversation here. Prefer that we come to you, or run it remotely? Both work.

A Type I usually lands one to two months after kickoff. A Type II spans its observation window of six to twelve months, with the final report following within five to seven weeks of the window closing.

Type I confirms your controls are designed correctly on a given date. Type II proves they ran correctly across an audit period of typically six to twelve months. Enterprise buyers usually want the Type II in the end. Learn more about our SOC 2 services →

No. Being based in Westminster lets us cover the whole north metro and Front Range in person, from Broomfield and Thornton to Boulder and Denver, and we run fully remote engagements for clients anywhere in the country. See how we run audits with technology →

For a first SOC 2, usually yes. A readiness pass maps your controls to the criteria and surfaces gaps while you can still fix them quietly, before the formal audit window opens. Learn about our readiness assessments →

Security is always in. Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy come down to the promises in your customer contracts. In practice, most first reports run Security only, Confidentiality is the most common addition, and Availability follows close behind for SaaS with uptime promises. We scope it with you so you are not testing commitments you never made.

Five categories exist: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Security is the one every SOC 2 must include; it covers access, change management, risk, and incident response. The rest are add-ons tied to what your contracts promise: Availability for uptime commitments, Processing Integrity for accurate processing, Confidentiality for sensitive business data, and Privacy for personal information. Security-only is the most common starting scope, Confidentiality is the most popular addition, and Availability is next, especially for SaaS. Read our breakdown of all five categories.

Yes. One control set can satisfy SOC 2, NIST CSF, and SOX ITGC at once, with ISO 27001 mapping on our roadmap. We map the overlap so you gather evidence a single time, not once per framework.
