Comply Exchange bags SOC 2 as vendor risk scrutiny bites

Comply Exchange, a RegTech firm specialising in tax compliance, withholding and IRS form management, has secured SOC 2 compliance, a move that signals to enterprise buyers that its security controls stand up to independent scrutiny.

The assessment confirms that Comply Exchange maintains a robust control environment across all five SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy.

Comply Exchange CEO David Marley said, “Security, confidentiality, and trust are foundational to everything we do at Comply Exchange. Our clients rely on us to help manage some of their most sensitive tax and compliance data, and achieving SOC 2 compliance provides independent validation of the controls and processes we have built to support that responsibility. This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security, governance, and operational excellence.”

SOC 2, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, examines how effectively an organisation’s data protection controls operate over time. For firms weighing up technology providers, it offers independent assurance that safeguards are genuinely in place to protect sensitive information and keep services running reliably.

The pressure on compliance teams is only growing. Firms are wrestling with ballooning volumes of tax documentation, withholding obligations and regulatory demands, meaning security and governance are now essential pillars of any credible compliance programme rather than optional extras. The SOC 2 milestone reflects Comply Exchange’s continued investment in the people, processes and controls that underpin documentation collection, validation, monitoring, withholding and reporting.

The achievement does not stand alone. The company continues to hold ISO 27001 certification, the international benchmark for information security management, and was recently named to the AIFinTech100, recognising its investment in AI-driven technologies that streamline tax compliance and cut operational burden.
