Last updated / Combined scope
The HITRUST Alliance keeps the authoritative registry of approved CSF assessors, and there is no point trying to out-rank it on the bare term. This page answers the narrower, more useful question the registry ignores: which HITRUST CSF assessors are also licensed CPA firms that issue SOC 2? For a healthcare SaaS company, that overlap is the whole game — it is the difference between hiring one accounting firm for both your HITRUST certification and your SOC 2 report, and stitching together a HITRUST-only assessor with a separate CPA practice.
There is a real industry debate, captured well in pieces like “Should your HITRUST assessor be an accounting firm?” The honest answer is: it depends on what else you need. If HITRUST is genuinely all you require, plenty of pure-play assessors will serve you. But the moment your commercial customers also ask for SOC 2 — and in healthcare SaaS they almost always do — a firm that is both a HITRUST CSF assessor and a CPA SOC 2 auditor lets you scope once and reuse the heavy evidence work across both. HITRUST's control set is extensive and incorporates HIPAA; much of what you assemble for it also supports a SOC 2, so running both through one firm avoids paying twice for overlapping rigor.
The firms on this page are exactly that intersection: approved HITRUST CSF assessors that also hold the CPA attestation capability to sign a SOC 2 report. Across them, first-year SOC 2 Type 2 fees typically start around $20,000 and run to roughly $30,000 for healthcare scope; HITRUST certification is a separate, larger engagement priced on its own, and the efficiency comes from sharing evidence and scoping between the two rather than from a single blended fee. There is also an independence point worth noting: because both deliverables come from the same accounting firm under the same quality standards, you avoid the awkward situation where a consultancy that helped build your controls is also the body grading them — a separation enterprise healthcare buyers increasingly probe during vendor review.
This is the “which firm” answer; for how the frameworks relate, read our SOC 2 vs HITRUST explainer and the HITRUST CSF framework page, and see our SOC 2 and HIPAA auditors page for the broader healthcare-compliance picture, all linked below.

What buyers ask before shortlisting.
These are the questions that usually decide whether a firm belongs on your shortlist.
If you also need SOC 2, yes. Only a licensed CPA firm can issue a SOC 2 report, so a HITRUST CSF assessor that is also a CPA firm lets you get both from one place and reuse overlapping evidence. If you need HITRUST alone, a pure-play assessor is fine.
Yes. The firms on this page are approved HITRUST CSF assessors that also hold the CPA capability to sign SOC 2 reports, so a single accounting firm can deliver HITRUST certification and your SOC 2 attestation.
Substantially. HITRUST’s control set is extensive and incorporates HIPAA, and much of what you assemble for it also supports SOC 2. Running both through one firm reuses that evidence instead of duplicating it across two engagements.
First-year SOC 2 Type 2 fees among these firms typically start around $20,000 and reach about $30,000 for healthcare scope. HITRUST certification is a separate, larger engagement; the saving comes from shared scoping and evidence, not a blended price.
Use these to pressure-test scope, independence, and cost with any firm you contact from the list.
The HITRUST Alliance maintains the authoritative registry of approved CSF assessor organizations. This page is a narrower cut — the assessors that are also CPA SOC 2 auditors.
HITRUST is generally more prescriptive and control-heavy than SOC 2, and it produces a certificate. Because it incorporates HIPAA and overlaps with SOC 2, much of the underlying work can be shared.
Many healthcare SaaS companies do: SOC 2 for general enterprise buyers and HITRUST when a health system or payer specifically requires certifiable, HIPAA-aligned proof.
Use these when you need the broader auditor list, the software angle, or the framework explainer before you choose a firm.
SOC 2 reports require CPA attestation. Preparation software and readiness consultants can collect evidence and reduce audit work, but the opinion has to come from an independent, licensed CPA firm.
Confirm scope in writing. Before signing, ask the firm which report or certificate it can issue directly, which work is handled by an affiliate, and what evidence carries over between frameworks or platforms.
