Case Study: Access Group cuts SOC 2 audit time and cost with Thoropass
Key results
The challenge
After a series of acquisitions, Access Group managed four different auditors with inconsistent methodologies, communication gaps, version-control issues, and varying evidence requirements handled over email. The fragmented approach made SOC 2 audits slow and difficult to scale.
The solution
Access Group consolidated its audits onto Thoropass, using a single centralized platform and expert guidance to standardize compliance processes across divisions.
“Generally, a SOC audit could have taken us 12 months from beginning to end, and now we're probably doing it in six or seven months.”

The results, in context
Access Group reported a 25% reduction in costs and said a SOC audit that generally took 12 months from beginning to end now runs in about six or seven months. The consolidated approach let the team scale without adding headcount.
