Linford & Company does not publish SOC 2 prices; quotes are scoped. Its SOC audit cost article lists the factors that drive price (report type, criteria in scope, systems and locations) and says clients get a specific, written quote before work begins. Across the market, Thoropass's cost guide puts SOC 2 Type II audits at $15,000 to $100,000+. Checked 2026-11-04.
Yes. Linford & Company LLP is an AICPA-accredited CPA firm. Its peer review status is listed as unknown in publicly available records.
Linford & Company LLP does not publish a specific typical timeline for SOC 2 Type II. As a Denver-based boutique with high partner involvement, fieldwork and reporting typically runs 8–12 weeks once the observation period is complete. The full engagement including an observation period (the AICPA sets no fixed minimum; 3 months or more is common) runs 5–8 months.
TrustCloud lists Linford in its partner directory and its community SOC 2 audit-partner list. We could not confirm current Vanta, Drata or Secureframe partnerships: Linford's blog mentions those tools only as examples, and an older Drata directory page for Linford now returns an error.
