Selecting an Audit Partner
Find the right audit partner through Sprinto’s accredited network of auditors to match your compliance needs, frameworks, and budget.
Understand Who Auditors Are
Security compliance auditors are independent third-party professionals who assess an organisation’s adherence to recognised security standards and regulations. Similar to financial auditors, they review internal policies, procedures, and systems to evaluate the effectiveness of security controls, risk management practices, and data protection mechanisms.
Following an audit, these professionals issue detailed reports that serve as verifiable proof of your organisation’s security posture. Such reports not only establish credibility but also help build trust with customers, partners, and prospective clients.
All audit partners available through Sprinto are certified and trained in industry-recognised audit methodologies associated with bodies such as AICPA and ISO.
How to Select the Right Audit Partner
Choosing an appropriate audit partner is a critical step in your compliance journey. Sprinto works with a wide network of highly qualified and accredited auditors, including both audit firms and individual Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). The following considerations can help guide your selection:
1. Pricing
Sprinto’s network includes:
Audit firms – These are well-known and may appeal to enterprises that require high-recognition names.
Individual CPAs – Typically more cost-effective while offering the same level of certification and rigour.
Depending on the chosen auditor and framework, audit costs may range between $1,000 and $25,000. Your Customer Success Manager (CSM) can provide specific quotes based on your requirements.
2. Credibility
All auditors in our network are:
AICPA-accredited (for SOC 2 and other U.S.-based frameworks),
IAF-accredited certifying bodies (for ISO standards), or
Recognised authorities in their respective domains.
These credentials ensure the validity and acceptance of your audit report.
3. Reputation
Sprinto partners with both individual auditors and globally reputed firms. If your customers include Fortune 500 companies, you may prefer firms such as Deloitte, EY, or KPMG. However, audits conducted by individual CPAs are equally valid and may offer quicker turnarounds at competitive prices.
4. Experience with Sprinto
All auditors in our network are familiar with Sprinto’s platform. Our dedicated auditor dashboard ensures streamlined evidence review, efficient communication, and faster reporting—making the audit experience smoother for both parties.
5. Supported Frameworks
Sprinto audit partners cover a wide range of security and privacy frameworks:
Multi-framework experts – Auditors such as Prescient Assurance and CertPro support SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and HITRUST.
Specialists – Firms like Linford excel in conducting FedRAMP and related audits.
Final Considerations
Your audit requirements may evolve as your business grows. Sprinto’s diverse partner network is designed to scale with your organisation. The ideal audit partner is one who aligns with your compliance needs, understands your business context, and operates within your budget.
