Johanson Group LLP

What Johanson Group LLP does

Johanson Group LLP is a licensed CPA firm headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, founded in 2014/2015, that delivers third-party audit and attestation services across the major information security and privacy compliance frameworks. Its core offerings include SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3 examinations, ISO/IEC 27001 certification assessments, HIPAA attestations, PCI DSS, GDPR, NIST 800-53/800-171, ISO/IEC 27017/27018, BSI C5, and CCPA assessments. The firm employs between 11 and 50 people organized in a distributed delivery model, pairing each client with a dedicated auditor and a Customer Success representative, and commits to delivering final reports within four to six weeks of audit commencement.

The business operates as a pure professional services firm with custom, engagement-based pricing scoped after an initial consultation. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise and mid-market consultation sales with channel partnerships through compliance automation platforms, including an April 2026 partnership with Rippling and integration relationships with Vanta, Drata, and Secureframe. Customer segments are horizontal: SaaS and technology companies (primary), healthcare organizations, EU data-handling entities, and payment card industry participants. Public references include LedgerLink (SOC 2 Type II for blockchain/Web3 banking services), DocSpera (GDPR and ISO 27001 for an AI-powered healthcare platform), and Dispersive Holdings (HIPAA for a stealth networking platform serving healthcare and life sciences).

Operationally, the firm runs a three-step delivery process (consultation, audit execution, certification recommendation and announcement support) and uses content marketing (blog, FAQs, newsletter) for top-of-funnel demand generation. Revenue, ownership structure, and headcount growth are not publicly disclosed. The firm has not raised external funding, operates as an independent privately-held limited partnership, and has no disclosed parent company.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Drata: Drata is an automated compliance platform focused on SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS evidence collection. Like Vanta, it is both a channel partner to Johanson and a force that commoditizes the pre-audit preparation Johanson used to capture.
• Vanta: Vanta is a leading automated compliance platform that helps SaaS companies prepare for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits. While not an audit firm itself, it is both a Johanson partner and a structural threat as automation reduces auditor scope.

Broad incumbents

• Moss Adams: Moss Adams is a large West Coast-focused CPA firm offering SOC audits and risk advisory services. It is comparable as a compliance audit provider but serves a different core client base than Johanson.
• BDO USA: BDO is a top accounting and advisory firm offering SOC, ISO, and cybersecurity risk services. It is a broad incumbent that competes for mid-market and enterprise compliance audits but with less SaaS-native specialization.
• KPMG: KPMG is a Big 4 firm offering SOC, ISO 27001, and broader IT assurance services globally. It competes with Johanson on enterprise compliance engagements but lacks Johanson's SaaS-startup focus and speed.

Direct peers

• Coalfire: Coalfire is a major cybersecurity advisory and assessment firm providing SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, PCI DSS, and HIPAA services. It overlaps with Johanson across the full information security audit stack.
• Linford & Co: Linford & Co is a CPA firm specializing in SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other information security audits, primarily serving SaaS startups. Its narrow focus on tech-company compliance makes it a near-direct competitor to Johanson Group.
• Sensiba San Filippo: Sensiba is a CPA and advisory firm offering SOC 2, ISO 27001, HITRUST, and cybersecurity risk services alongside traditional accounting. It competes with Johanson in mid-market SaaS and technology compliance audits.
• Schellman & Co: Schellman is a top-tier CPA and attestation firm focused exclusively on IT auditing and compliance, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and FedRAMP. It directly competes with Johanson in the SaaS audit segment.
• A-LIGN: A-LIGN is a leading cybersecurity and compliance audit firm offering SOC 2, ISO 27001, HITRUST, PCI, and FedRAMP assessments. Like Johanson Group, it serves a SaaS-heavy customer base and competes on speed and bundled compliance services.
