KirkpatrickPrice operates as a licensed CPA firm specializing in information security assurance - PCI QSA, HITRUST CSF Assessor, and a full-spectrum compliance auditor. The firm runs engagements across SOC 1, SOC 2, HIPAA, HITRUST CSF, PCI DSS, GDPR, ISO 27001, FISMA, and various privacy frameworks, alongside comprehensive penetration testing. Their Online Audit Manager platform structures the compliance workflow, with direct access to a dedicated audit team throughout the process.
The auditor profile here matters: team members bring real-world experience as CTOs, CISOs, and CSOs, not just checklist credentials. That operational background shows up in how they scope pen tests and map controls to actual threat surfaces rather than abstract framework language. With over 2,000 clients worldwide and more than 20,000 audit reports delivered across 20+ years, the volume suggests a mature process engine rather than bespoke consulting on every engagement.
U.S. presence spans Atlanta, Bethesda, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Nashville, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Tampa, with additional reach into Canada, Asia, and Europe. The firm's stated mission centers on educating and empowering clients - positioning assurance work as a capability-building exercise rather than a pass/fail gate.
