San Jose, California Feb 9, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Decrypt Compliance, a Silicon Valley–based cybersecurity audit and compliance firm, announced that it has successfully passed its 2025 AICPA Peer Review, marking a significant organizational milestone for the firm and reinforcing its position in the technology assurance space. The independent review confirms the firm’s adherence to professional standards related to audit quality, independence, and ethics.
The AICPA Peer Review program evaluates CPA firms that perform assurance and attestation engagements, including SOC 2 examinations. A “Pass” rating indicates that a firm’s system of quality control has been suitably designed and is operating effectively. For SaaS and cloud-native businesses, this review serves as an important signal of audit reliability and credibility when selecting an external compliance partner.
Decrypt Compliance was founded by Raymond Cheng, a licensed CPA with prior experience conducting cybersecurity and technology audits at global organizations including EY, Tencent Americas, and Salesforce. The firm focuses on supporting B2B SaaS companies that must demonstrate security and data protection controls to enterprise customers, investors, and regulators.
According to Cheng, the firm was established to address a growing gap between traditional audit practices and the realities of modern cloud infrastructure. “Technology companies operate in fast-changing environments, and assurance work must reflect how these systems are actually designed and managed,” Cheng said. “Independent peer review plays an important role in validating that audit quality is maintained while adapting to new operating models.”
Since its launch, Decrypt Compliance has completed compliance engagements for more than 100 organizations across fintech, healthtech, productivity software, and communications platforms. Its work includes SOC 2 Type I and Type II examinations, ISO 27001 certifications, and readiness assessments aligned with emerging AI governance standards. The firm’s services are designed to align with cloud-native architectures and distributed development teams operating across multiple regions.
Industry demand for qualified SOC 2 auditors has increased as enterprise procurement processes place greater emphasis on third-party risk management. Many SaaS companies now require independently verified controls before entering vendor agreements or expanding into regulated markets. Independent peer review status provides additional assurance to stakeholders that audit reports are issued in accordance with established professional guidance.
Decrypt Compliance is licensed as a California CPA firm and is an AICPA-accredited practice. In addition to client work, the firm participates in professional education initiatives related to cybersecurity assurance, including industry discussions on transparency in SOC reporting and evolving expectations around technology risk.
