Editorial Policy

Our commitment to accuracy, independence, and integrity in compliance reporting.

RiscLens was founded to bring transparency to the often-opaque world of SOC 2 and security compliance. To maintain our position as a trusted resource for early-stage companies, we adhere to strict editorial standards.

Independence

We are not owned by, nor do we accept referral fees from, any compliance automation platform or audit firm. Our rankings and scores are determined by our deterministic logic and market research alone.

Expert Review

Every market comparison, pricing guide, and checklist is reviewed by a professional with active credentials (CPA, CISA, CISSP, or CIPP) to ensure technical accuracy and regulatory relevance.

Data Integrity

Our pricing data and "starting from" estimates are sourced from primary market research, anonymized user reports, and publicly available information. We update these figures quarterly to reflect market shifts.

Transparency

If we use AI to assist in data gathering or drafting, the resulting content is always fact-checked and edited by a human subject-matter expert before publication.

Our Review Process

  1. Research: We analyze current AICPA Trust Service Criteria and market offerings from top compliance vendors.
  2. Logic Calibration: Our deterministic scoring models are calibrated against real-world audit outcomes.
  3. Fact-Checking: Every claim regarding a vendor's feature set or pricing is cross-referenced with documentation.
  4. Quarterly Updates: Our "Last Updated" dates reflect the most recent technical audit of the page content.

Notice an Error?

We strive for 100% accuracy, but the compliance landscape moves fast. If you believe any of our data is outdated or inaccurate, please contact our editorial team at reports@risclens.com.
