We are proud to announce a new strategic partnership between Boulay, a nationally recognized CPA and advisory firm, and UnderDefense, a global cybersecurity company specializing in managed detection and response, incident response, and cyber risk management. This collaboration is designed to provide clients with a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for both cybersecurity and compliance readiness, with a focus on SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audit services.
A Natural Alignment of Strengths
Boulay provides SOC 2 examinations and ISO 27001 audits to clients across a wide range of industries. Our team is committed to helping organizations achieve and maintain trust with their customers, regulators, and stakeholders by providing independent assurance over internal controls, data privacy, and information security.

Their award-winning platform and deep bench of cybersecurity experts are trusted by companies worldwide to prevent, detect, and respond to advanced cyber threats.
Why This Partnership Matters

This partnership allows clients to benefit from:
A unified compliance and cybersecurity strategy
Accelerated readiness for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications
Ongoing threat detection, response, and remediation
Improved risk posture aligned with regulatory and industry standards
End-to-end guidance from readiness to audit to real-time protection
Delivering Value to Clients
Whether a company is preparing for its first SOC 2 audit, working toward ISO 27001 certification, or looking to enhance its existing cybersecurity framework, the Boulay and UnderDefense alliance offers a seamless experience. Together, we help organizations identify control gaps, implement corrective actions, and operationalize security best practices — while maintaining a continuous feedback loop between audit and security operations.
Looking Ahead
As cybersecurity and compliance become more intertwined, we believe this partnership positions both firms — and our clients — for long-term success. We are excited to offer this expanded capability set and look forward to driving measurable impact for businesses navigating today’s digital and regulatory complexities.
