For healthcare teams, Thoropass's SOC 2 Type 1 + Type 2 packages start at $9,995, 360 Advanced covers multi-framework healthcare scope from $15K, and Schellman fits hospital and payer HITRUST reviews from $20K. We track 128 matching firms; listed timelines start at 1 week.
Thoropass is the typical pick for HIPAA-covered HealthTech companies under 200 employees because it issues SOC 2 + HIPAA assessments + HITRUST under one CPA engagement, sharing evidence so a startup avoids repeating the same PHI scoping conversations across three vendors. Fixed-fee pricing, single contract.
360 Advanced fits healthcare SOC 2 + multi-framework scope: coordinates shared evidence across frameworks, including an ANAB-accredited ISO 27001 certification body and a FedRAMP-listed 3PAO.
Zero Day CPA is the economical pick for an early-stage health-tech startup that needs SOC 2 with a HIPAA assessment from one credentialed boutique CPA. Audit managers each bring 5+ years at a Big Four or major national firm, so buyers get enterprise-grade rigor at fixed pricing from around $5K, a 2 to 6 week turnaround, and SOC 1/2/3 coverage.
Schellman is the default pick for digital health companies whose hospital and payer customers require HITRUST alongside SOC 2 — Top 50 CPA brand, in-house HITRUST assessors, and a healthcare control library that maps SOC 2, HITRUST, and HIPAA into one audit cycle.
A-LIGN is the standard pick for telehealth platforms and EHR vendors that need a defensible PHI boundary before fieldwork starts — the firm runs a multi-framework healthcare practice covering SOC 2, HITRUST, HIPAA, and FedRAMP under one engagement.
A telehealth vendor should scope every system that creates, stores, transmits, or displays ePHI, then map the same access, encryption, logging, incident-response, and workforce controls to SOC 2 and HIPAA. A-LIGN and Thoropass are practical multi-framework picks, with listed Type 2 pricing from $9,995 before added healthcare scope.
Start with the patient journey rather than the application inventory. Document video and messaging providers, scheduling, identity verification, payment flows, clinical integrations, support tooling, analytics, and every subprocessor that can encounter PHI. The SOC 2 system boundary should match the commitments customers rely on, while HIPAA adds legal duties around BAAs, permitted use, breach handling, and patient information. A Type II report tests control operation over time; it does not certify HIPAA compliance or replace a BAA.
Choose based on the buyer's written requirement. SOC 2 Type II is usually the broader commercial security proof, while HITRUST is often requested by large health systems, payers, and healthcare-specific procurement programs. If both are on the roadmap, Schellman, A-LIGN, and Thoropass can coordinate evidence so the control programs do not become separate rebuilds.
HITRUST and SOC 2 are not interchangeable labels. They use different assessment structures and report forms, and a customer's contract may name one explicitly. Ask prospects whether they require a current SOC 2 Type II, a specific HITRUST assessment, or both, and by what deadline. Then select an assessor with the needed authorizations and agree on a common control map before readiness work begins. Our HITRUST assessor comparison focuses on firms that can support that combined path.
Most hospital-bound health-tech vendors start with SOC 2 Type II plus documented HIPAA compliance and signed BAAs. HITRUST becomes important when the health system or payer names it, ISO 27001 helps with international enterprise procurement, and AI products may add ISO 42001. The right sequence follows signed pipeline requirements, not a generic badge checklist.
Separate legal obligations, attestations, and certifications when building the roadmap. HIPAA is a US legal framework, SOC 2 is a CPA attestation, and ISO certifications and HITRUST assessments have their own accredited or authorized delivery models. Clinical software may also face product, privacy, or regulatory requirements outside information-security audits. Collect the exact language from procurement questionnaires and contracts, identify which controls can share evidence, and keep each scope narrow enough to defend.
Compare healthcare auditor quotes on system boundary, Trust Services Criteria, observation period, HIPAA or HITRUST work, evidence reuse, and report delivery date before comparing price. A $15K quote that excludes PHI mapping or assumes Security-only scope can cost more than a complete engagement once hospital procurement adds requirements during fieldwork.
Request a written list of entities, products, locations, subprocessors, criteria, and deliverables included in the fee. Confirm whether readiness advice comes from a separate team, who signs the CPA report, how exceptions are handled, and whether bridge letters or customer questionnaires are supported after issuance. Comparable assumptions make the price table meaningful and protect auditor independence while still giving management useful scoping guidance.
Independent directory. Not owned by any audit firm or compliance platform. We don’t sell your details, and your identity stays private.
Ordered by the fit we would start with. Each firm below has healthcare, HealthTech, HIPAA, or HITRUST experience in the auditor dataset, with profile-level detail for pricing, timeline, and framework coverage.
Type 1 and Type 2 figures reflect a mix of firm-confirmed numbers, public sources, and our own estimates, refreshed periodically. Actual cost depends on company size, scope, and Trust Service Criteria.

Healthcare buyers need more than the baseline Security criterion. PHI boundaries, BAAs, HITRUST overlap, and vendor risk management usually change the evidence plan.
The cheapest generalist can become expensive if they miss PHI flows or treat HIPAA as a separate consulting exercise instead of scoping overlap from day one.
| Factor | Healthcare-specialised | Generalist |
|---|---|---|
| PHI boundary | Mapped before fieldwork | Often discovered late |
| HIPAA overlap | Evidence shared | Separate workstream |
| HITRUST option | Available at specialist firms | Usually referred out |
| BAA review | Expected | Buyer-specific |
| Best fit | HealthTech, payer, provider vendors | Low-PHI SaaS |
Five healthcare-specific control areas that should be clear before the observation period starts.
Auditors need to know exactly where ePHI is created, stored, transmitted, viewed, and destroyed. A narrow, defensible boundary keeps the audit from expanding across your entire company.
Access controls, encryption, audit logging, training, and incident response should map to both SOC 2 criteria and HIPAA technical or administrative safeguards.
Healthcare buyers care about signed BAAs, subprocessor risk, annual vendor reviews, and documented oversight of vendors that touch PHI.
If your product handles patient data directly, Confidentiality and Privacy may need to be in scope rather than Security alone.
If hospital customers require HITRUST, a healthcare-specialised firm can map SOC 2 evidence so you do not rebuild the control set later.
Healthcare scopes run above general SaaS when PHI, HIPAA overlays, or HITRUST expectations enter the engagement. Entry-level Type 2 pricing starts near $3K before platform and implementation work.
$15-100K

Five questions specific to HIPAA, BAAs, PHI scope, buyer requirements, and healthcare audit timing.
SOC 2 reports must be issued by licensed Certified Public Accountants under AICPA standards. HIPAA consulting, HITRUST readiness, or GRC software alone cannot issue the attestation report.
Confirm whether the auditor can support HIPAA and HITRUST overlap without compromising independence. The same firm cannot both design your controls and independently attest to its own work.
Pricing estimates and timelines are approximations based on public information and submitted data. Actual cost varies by PHI scope, Trust Service Criteria, organization size, and buyer requirements.
Tell us your PHI scope, buyer type, and HIPAA or HITRUST requirements. We route it to healthcare-fluent firms that can give a real ballpark before discovery drags on.
