How to Evaluate Financial Services SOC 2 Auditors
When comparing SOC 2 audit firms for a financial services company, consider these factors alongside standard auditor selection criteria like CPA licensure and pricing.
- Ask about financial services-specific experience. How many financial services companies has the firm audited? Are they familiar with the controls and data flows typical in your sector?
- Check for regulatory overlap expertise. If your industry has additional compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, etc.), confirm the auditor can navigate those alongside SOC 2.
- Evaluate platform compatibility. If you use a compliance automation tool, check that the auditor has experience with it. Browse auditors by platform.
- Request references from similar companies. A firm that regularly audits financial services organizations should be able to speak to the typical scope, timeline, and challenges for your sector.

Financial Services SOC 2 Audit FAQ
- Why do financial services companies need SOC 2?
- Banks, fintechs, and financial platforms handle sensitive data and face strict regulation. A SOC 2 report proves to partners and customers that your security controls work as intended. Many financial services buyers require one before approving a new vendor.
- What should fintech companies look for in a SOC 2 auditor?
- Choose auditors who know financial regulations and PCI DSS. They should be familiar with transaction processing, data encryption, and requirements like SOX or GLBA. Experience with fintech-specific controls helps the audit run faster with fewer rounds of questions.
- Can a SOC 2 audit be combined with PCI DSS for financial services?
- Yes. Some auditors run SOC 2 and PCI DSS together in one engagement. This saves time because many controls overlap. Ask your auditor if a combined approach fits your compliance needs.
- How many SOC 2 auditors specialize in Financial Services?
- Our directory currently lists 200 SOC 2 audit firms with financial services experience. The number of firms with genuine sector expertise is smaller than the total market; look for auditors who can reference specific financial services engagements and understand your regulatory landscape.
- What is the average cost of a SOC 2 audit for a financial services company?
- SOC 2 audit costs for financial services companies vary widely. Type I audits for startups often start around $15,000 to $30,000, while Type II audits for mid-market or enterprise companies can range from $40,000 to $100,000 or more, especially when additional frameworks like HIPAA or PCI DSS are in scope. Get quotes from at least three firms.
- How long does SOC 2 compliance take for financial services companies?
- A Type I audit can be completed in 4 to 8 weeks after readiness. A Type II requires a 3 to 12 month observation period plus reporting time. Financial Services companies with compliance platforms like Drata or Vanta often shorten preparation time through automated evidence collection.
