Recognition

2024 AICPA award badge for excellence

AICPA Tech Advisory Standing Ovation Recognition - 2024

The AICPA presents this award to CPA professionals who make outstanding contributions to the profession in technology-related fields. Decrypt Compliance’s managing partner received this recognition for his work in SOC reporting, cybersecurity, and information privacy.

For clients, it means the person leading your audit is recognized by the profession’s governing body as an authority in the exact field you’re being audited in.

A black square graphic with teal accents reads: Decrypt Compliance. Trust Center. 2026 Forbes Best-In-State CPAs. Raymond Cheng, Founder & CEO.

Forbes Best-in-State CPAs 2025 & 2026

Decrypt Compliance’s managing partner was consecutively named one of the Forbes Best-in-State CPAs list for 2025 and 2026. The firm specializes in cybersecurity, privacy, and AI audit services.

This recognition is notable because Forbes evaluates CPAs across all practice areas. Being named while operating exclusively in technology compliance signals a standard of practice that carries across the profession, not just within a niche.

Founder & CEO

Raymond Cheng

Raymond Cheng built Decrypt Compliance after years inside the world’s most demanding technology companies and accounting firms. What he found: most compliance auditors didn’t understand the products they were auditing, which meant clients spent months educating their auditors instead of moving through the process.

Decrypt Compliance believes that responsible innovation is the key to unlocking growth. As your objective business partner, Decrypt Compliance is dedicated to supporting you in genuinely earning customer confidence and realizing your full potential. Together, we can build a thriving economy based on trust and efficiency.

Expectation for an expected timeline was given and also adhered to which helped us a lot to manage expectations with our prospects. Decrypt accommodated our additional input to the draft audit report which helped us to stand out.

Becoming SOC2 compliant was very important to us since we’re selling to other security companies. Decypt ran an efficient process to help us become compliant and close new deals.

Small Business · France

Decrypt Compliance made our audit smooth and simple. Everything can be done asynchronously or via meeting when needed. We’re a French company and they made it work seamlessly across time zones.

Frameworks We Audit

Most compliance firms specialize in one or two frameworks. Decrypt Compliance audits ten. More importantly, clients pursuing more than one certification can run both in a single engagement.

The evidence collection overlaps, the team stays the same, and you avoid starting from scratch with a second firm. It’s one of the more practical ways we save clients time without cutting corners on either report.
