Tech-forward assurance
and advisory.
Compliance, diligence, and governance services designed to keep you steady in a sea of chaos.
Modern Assurance
We provide SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3 readiness and examinations for companies that support large enterprise customers, operate in regulated industries, or are preparing for a liquidity event. We specialize in the companies others find complicated - from deep tech to defense. We work with clients through the full SOC process - from readiness to report. We have a 100% U.S.-based team that combines deep human expertise with technology and AI to create an efficient process that doesn’t sacrifice quality.
We provide support for HIPAA, HITRUST, ISO, GDPR, NIST, AI RMF, and other frameworks - creating the path of least resistance to take credit for multiple frameworks through streamlined processes. We can also perform risk and security assessments for companies across a range of industries, providing actionable insights and assistance with remediation.
Engaged with a provider who isn’t cutting it? We’ll help you rebuild trust in the market. We are software-agnostic and happy to share our unbiased insights on compliance automation platforms.
Our Services
Strategic Technical Due Diligence
We perform technical due diligence that’s on your side, whichever side that is. Our industry niche includes AI-Heavy/AI-Native, HealthTech, Enterprise SaaS, and Tech-Enabled Services companies. We can also perform IT and compliance focused assessments based on our extensive experience in system security and regulatory compliance.
Our buy-side tech diligence looks beyond the surface to evaluate engineering performance, architectural scalability, technical debt, integrity of intellectual property, and AI risk and utilization. We leverage third-party security and license scanning tools, supplemented with data aggregated from ticketing systems, monitoring platforms, performance management systems, and other sources to assess the value of the team and tech and to create a go-forward remediation plan. Our team can support remediation efforts, as needed, to help you maximize value.
Our sell-side tech diligence increases value and decreases disruption through thoughtful data room management and remediation of issues before it’s too late. Similar to our buy-side tech diligence services, we leverage third-party security and license scanning tools and aggregate data from a variety of company tools and software to surface underlying risks, such as open source libraries and technical debt; supplement documentation; and remediate findings to the extent possible. We also maintain a deep understanding of the evolution of the value of a tech company based on the increasing use of AI agents in software engineering and the ability to copy software. We look beyond the source code to understand the true value of a company beyond the ones and zeroes.
Future-Proof AI Governance
We work with clients across all stages of AI adoption, offering strategic guidance on how to maintain compliance with customer requirements, laws, and regulations, while getting the most out of AI efforts.
Many firms are selling AI services. Here’s what sets us apart:
We actually know AI. We use it in every part of our business, and we learn the latest updates daily. It’s the only way to keep up.
We are intentionally industry-agnostic in our AI services - we believe all industries can and should benefit from AI.
We balance risk and reward, helping you make strategic AI decisions that build efficiency without breaking company culture, creativity, or work ethic (or laws, of course).
We help with the people part, including training and adoption.
We work with a variety of partners who specialize in AI implementation, allowing us to work with clients to design and deploy AI systems while keeping compliance, governance, and security in mind.
A FEW OF THE CLIENTS WE SERVE
In good company.
About Us
Founded in the heart of Austin’s tech scene, Eye & Co is a tech-forward, client-first assurance and advisory firm. Our team consists of CPAs, information security auditors, and IT professionals with years of experience as Big-4 consultants, business owners, and auditors. We serve our clients based on three core beliefs:
Clients Come First. We take the term “client service” seriously and work with clients based on the book Unreasonable Hospitality: The Remarkable Power of Giving People More Than They Expect by Will Guidara. Lots of firms can issue a SOC 2 report. It takes a culture of putting clients first to make the experience as painless as possible.
Combine People & Technology Strategically. The market is full of old-school firms that burn through hours and don’t understand your tech stack (all people, minimal technology) and rubber stampers that don’t add value and put you at risk of losing customers or potential acquirers (all technology, minimal people). We believe the solution is a strategic combination of the right technology and the right people.
Understand to Simplify. Regulatory requirements are complex, verbose, and full of legalese. Our role as consultants is to understand them well enough to cater them to our clients, greatly simplifying the process along the way. We speak plainly, offering insights that are customized to a client’s size, tech stack, industry, and risk profile.
If you have new compliance or regulatory requirements, are nearing an M&A transaction, or work with a provider causing more harm than good, contact us. We can’t wait to work with you.

Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form and we will work with you to schedule a call with members of our team (not sales people). We will walk you through next steps and answer any questions you have. We’ll ask a handful of questions about your company operations, needs, and tech stack to share a price range. You can meet the members of the team that will handle your project before engaging - we are an open book.

Our team consists of tech-forward consultants, including CPA’s, CISA’s, AI experts, ex Big-4 advisors, and more. Other companies require their customers to invest in expensive tools to help them cut corners. We leverage technology and AI to bring efficiency to our work, so we can spend time solving problems for our clients. If you have an automation platform, we’ll leverage it, but it isn’t required (because we know how to do our job without it). Our team has a variety of skill levels and years of experience, so we can bring the right people to the table at the right price point. Our team is 100% United States based.

Our project pricing is customized based on the experience level of each team member engaged, the level of complexity of the tech stack, the size of the company, and the level of detail required. We will share a quote after our initial conversation with you. We price honestly, based on the value of the service we are providing and the cost of the people we are bringing to the table.

Our goal is to add value. Our clients have enough on their plates running their own businesses. We offer recommendations, ideas, and solutions that integrate compliance and governance into their operations without hindering company progress or distracting people from their job responsibilities.
We issue well-crafted, thoughtful SOC 2 examinations for clients because a quality SOC 2 helps them land large enterprise customers. We dive deep into engineering velocity, DORA metrics, and source code quality because it moves the needle on company valuations.
If you want a cheap, check-the-box team with a cookie-cutter deliverable, you have plenty of options. We aren’t one of them.
