Schellman is the pick for an MSSP or full-service MSP whose buyers scrutinize privileged access, Availability, and multi-framework scope. Top 50 CPA with depth in managed services, FedRAMP, CMMC, and enterprise security review.
Half the firms on this page list a Type 2 starting estimate of $12,000 to $15,000 (shaded), in line with the median ballpark for companies of 51–200 employees. The IT service providers that requested quotes had up to 200 employees.
MSPs should use a SOC 2 auditor that understands managed-service scope because the report must cover privileged client access, shared tooling, and operational handoffs. A standard SaaS audit does not always test RMM, PSA, backup, monitoring, and technician access controls deeply enough.
MSP audits get messy when the auditor treats the business like a normal software company. Your clients may inherit risk from your technicians, remote monitoring tools, backup systems, endpoint agents, credential vaults, and incident response workflow. Those systems are often more important than the marketing site or billing stack. A useful SOC 2 report has to describe that reality in language a client security team can trust.
The common blockers are privileged access without clean approval logs, shared credentials without vault evidence, weak offboarding records, incomplete client-system inventories, and backup or monitoring promises that are not mapped to Availability controls. These controls need evidence before the Type 2 observation period starts.
Most MSPs already perform many of the right activities. The issue is proof. A technician may rotate credentials, escalate a ticket, or restore a backup correctly, but the auditor needs records that show who approved the action, when it happened, and whether the process ran the same way across the observation period. That is where MSP-aware firms earn their fee.
RMM and PSA systems usually belong inside the SOC 2 boundary when they trigger work on client environments, store client data, hold credentials, or document security incidents. The auditor should review access, change logs, ticket evidence, escalation rules, and vendor risk for those platforms.
The boundary should follow the service your client buys. If your promise is managed endpoint security, the tools that deploy agents, alert technicians, document remediation, and report status all matter. If your promise is backup and disaster recovery, restore testing and alert handling matter. A generic "IT systems" scope can leave out the exact controls your client cares about.
MSP SOC 2 costs rise when the scope includes multiple service lines, technician access to client systems, backup commitments, managed security tooling, or regulated clients. The firms listed here have a median listed Type 2 starting estimate of $15,000, before platform, readiness, and remediation costs. In Q3 2026, firms quoted IT service providers a median $10,500 for a Type 2 audit, in ballpark quotes before scoping.
A narrow MSP with one service line and mature evidence can price like a SaaS audit. A full-service provider with help desk, cloud administration, EDR, backup, and compliance support needs more scoping work. Ask firms to quote the systems in scope, the Trust Services Criteria included, and the evidence they expect before the observation window starts.

The hardest MSP question is which controls belong to you, which belong to the client, and which are shared through your tooling.
| Factor | MSP-aware auditor | Generalist auditor |
|---|---|---|
| RMM and PSA tools | Scoped as production systems | May be treated as generic IT tools |
| Shared credentials | Tests vaulting, approval, and rotation | May stop at policy review |
| Client access | Separates MSP controls from client controls | May blur boundaries |
| Availability | Maps backup and monitoring promises | Often left out unless asked |
| Best fit | MSPs, MSSPs, IT service providers | Simple SaaS or office IT scope |
Ask each firm to explain how it scopes MSP tooling before you compare price. A cheap quote is not useful if the auditor misses the systems your clients actually rely on.
Separate help desk, RMM, EDR, backup, monitoring, managed firewall, and cloud admin services. Each service changes the control boundary.
Ask how the auditor tests technician accounts, break-glass access, shared vaults, approval logs, and account removal when staff leave.
A report for small-business clients can be narrower than one used for regulated enterprise buyers. Scope the report to the buyers who will read it.
Use these answers to separate an MSP-ready audit firm from a generic SOC 2 quote.
Send the service mix, client requirements, tooling stack, and deadline. We route it to firms that can scope MSP controls cleanly.
