The Security You Need.
The Compliance to Succeed.

We help innovative technology and cloud service providers simplify the path to security and compliance.

Our Approach: Simplify and Customize

and setting clear expectations
over project scope.

It’s odd to say that it was a pleasure doing business with an auditor. However, that was definitely our experience with BARR Advisory. They had a detailed approach to documentation, review and assessment; as well as a thorough understanding of all aspects of the various criteria, standards and controls that were the basis of our audit. The method and tools they used to conduct our readiness assessment and final audit insured that the entire process was clearly communicated, easy to understand, comprehensive in nature and completed in a timely, efficient manner. We give BARR Advisory our highest recommendation.

The work with BARR Advisory has proven to be an asset to our company and our clients; we are truly appreciative.

BARR was extremely helpful in streamlining the SOC 2 process for our company. Their friendly and professional auditors led us through two audit periods, and helped us affect lasting security measures while increasing company efficiency. We highly recommended them.

Everyone who met with Brad and his team said they loved spending time with them, which is the weirdest reaction to an auditor interview I’ve ever gotten.

BARR Advisory ran a highly structured and transparent process with a clear articulation of what was needed to achieve date-driven milestones. They are the definition of professional, thorough, and high-quality. It also helped enormously to do the Readiness Report with them first to understand the journey ahead.
Roger ArnemannChief Operating Officer, Nomis Solutions

“
I can't believe I am saying this about an audit but it was pretty painless. Kyle was great to work with during the audit itself, and after talking with Brad I knew that signing on as a client was the right thing to do, and we were NOT disappointed.
Abby HornDirector of Operations, INOC Data Centers

“
This was the first SOC2 Audit for Mylo, and BARR Advisory made the process very smooth and understandable. We gained a lot of benefit by doing a Readiness Assessment with them first, so that when the audit started, we were well prepared. We are very happy with the content of the report and look forward to working with BARR again.
Angela RobertsonSecurity and Compliance Director, Mylo
