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

Plan and Scope

We believe in determining the why before proposing the how and that careful planning is imperative to achieve your business objectives. We simplify complex projects by defining roles, responsibilities
and setting clear expectations
over project scope.

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

“

The audit process is perfectly painless and I truly enjoy working with the team at BARR. We have worked with several auditors from BARR and each one has been organized, clear in their requests and a pleasure to work with. I am looking forward to next year's audit (hard to believe, I know!).
ABBY HORNDirector of Operations, INOC Data Centers

“

This was the first SOC 2 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
