Cybersecurity audit companies: verified firms by framework and country

Agent Index lists 518 Verified · 51 registry-listed compliance audit firms (569 total) in dataset v0.1.33. The auditors directory is the full index. This page adds the per-framework and per-country tables that hub does not show, plus UK office counts and the official-registry links used to check a name. [1]

Verified firms by framework

A firm can hold more than one framework tag, so rows do not sum to the directory total. Only Verified firms count toward the three-firm floor for a location page. Registry-listed firms appear on existing pages and are labelled.

Firms holding three or more frameworks

65 Verified firms and 0 registry-listed firms carry three or more stored framework tags. Verified firms are listed first. Tag count is not a quality score.

UK presence

60 Verified firms have a United Kingdom headquarters or a UK office. 23 of the UK-office firms list London and 7 list Manchester. Audit firms in the United Kingdom (61 firms with a UK office).

Search demand for IT auditing services in London and the UK is a reason this page exists; the counts are still the stored office rows, not a ranking of UK firms.

How to choose and how to verify

Pick the framework you need first, then confirm the legal name on the official registry. Use Check an Auditor to look up the stored row, then open the live registry.

  1. Choose the framework (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, CMMC, HITRUST, FedRAMP, GovRAMP, CERT-In, ISMAP or another published tag).
  2. Filter the directory or this page’s assessor guides.
  3. Open the official registry and match the legal entity, not a trading name.
  4. Read the stored checked date on the firm profile. Re-check the live source before you engage the firm.
