How to choose a readiness consultant

Pick someone who has taken companies of your size through the same framework. Ask what they do versus what your team does, how they work with your compliance platform, and what happens if the audit finds gaps.

A consultant gets you ready. They cannot sign off the report, so agree early who will audit you.

Can my consultant also be my auditor?

For a SOC 2 report, a firm that helped build your controls should not also audit them. Ask about independence before you sign.
