Silicon Valley, California — Decrypt Compliance, a licensed cybersecurity audit and compliance firm, announced that it has received a “Pass” rating in its latest AICPA Peer Review and that its founder and chief executive officer, Raymond Cheng, has been named a Forbes Best-in-State CPA.
The AICPA Peer Review Program is an independent evaluation that assesses whether CPA firms meet established professional standards for audit quality, ethics, and quality control. A “Pass” rating indicates that Decrypt Compliance’s system of quality control was found to be suitably designed and operating effectively in accordance with AICPA requirements.
The peer review examined the firm’s audit and attestation practice, including cybersecurity and compliance-related engagements. The result confirms that Decrypt Compliance adheres to nationally recognized accounting and auditing standards.
In a separate recognition, Raymond Cheng was included in the Forbes Best-in-State CPA list. This designation highlights individual CPAs who demonstrate professional achievement, technical competence, and leadership within their respective states.
Decrypt Compliance was founded to support technology-focused organizations that require independent verification of security and compliance controls. The firm provides audit and attestation services aligned with widely used frameworks such as SOC 2 and international information security standards, which are often required by enterprise customers and regulators.
By operating as an independent CPA firm, Decrypt Compliance conducts formal attestation engagements rather than advisory-only assessments. This approach enables organizations to present audit reports that meet third-party due diligence and vendor risk management requirements.
Commenting on the announcement, Raymond Cheng said, “Passing the AICPA Peer Review reflects the firm’s commitment to professional standards and audit quality. The Forbes recognition is an acknowledgment of that commitment and the work being done across the firm.”
Decrypt Compliance serves clients across the technology sector, including software-as-a-service and cloud-based companies. Its work supports organizations at different stages of growth, from companies completing initial compliance audits to those maintaining ongoing audit requirements.
The AICPA Peer Review result and the Forbes recognition represent a milestone for Decrypt Compliance as it continues to expand its audit practice while maintaining compliance with professional and ethical standards.
